At 7 a.m. on Thursday, the 44,000-square-foot store will open in the new, 18-acre retail center that has been named Cruse Marketplace. It is the fourth Publix to open in Forsyth County. The other three are in Tri-County Plaza, in the Midway area off Hwy. 9 and in Johns Creek off Hwy. 141. Given the county’s growth, the choice to add a fourth store was a logical one, according to Publix officials. “We’re trying to keep up with the growth, and Forsyth County is the fastest growing county in the state in terms of population,” said Publix spokeswoman Janet Reid. The service area for the grocery store and shopping center has 13,000 residents, with 6,000 more expected to move there in the next 10 years. The site is also near the massive Windermere and Chattahoochee River Club res idential communities. The store will have about 150 employees. In addition to the new hires will be employ ees transferring from other Publix locations. The new store’s manager is Darren Toothaker, who has been promoted from his for mer position as assistant store manager at the Johns Creek Publix. On Saturday, Nov. 23, Sudsy night earns a stint in custody By Steven H. Pollak Staff Writer Two men indulging in some ‘suds’ at a Cumming laundromat wound up getting arrested Friday night for pub lic drunkenness as well as aggravated assault and sexual battery. Lawrence Fay Sites Jr., 43, of Dawsonville, and James Edward Kirby, 36, of Cumming, went to the Cumming Sunshine Center on Veterans Memorial Boulevard and allegedly began drinking. The laundromat does not serve alcohol; Sites and Kirby apparently brought their own. According to Capt. Frank Goss of the Cumming Police Department, Sites grabbed the buttocks of a woman who was cleaning clothes with her hus band. The husband and Sites began fighting in the laundro mat, Goss said. In the midst of the fight, Kirby allegedly pulled out a pocket knife and cut the hus band on his right arm.

Cruse Marketplace will have a grand opening from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mashburn Elementary School’s student choir will perform, and the public is invited to a cookout, said Toothaker, who is a local resi dent. The developer for the new store was Roswell-based North American Properties Ltd., which has worked with Publix in the metro Atlanta area. The store was designed and built with distinct archi tectural styles as the result of input from Publix and the community during the rezon ing regulatory process.
