• 3 New & Coming Soon Gwinnett County Restaurants (businessdebut.com) — A new fast-food spot called Bite Theory is coming soon to Stone Mountain Highway in Lilburn, offering Nashville-style fried chicken, seafood, and rice bowls with drive-thru, takeout, and limited dine-in. The roundup also highlights two new restaurants opening in nearby Lawrenceville, giving Lilburn residents more options for Colombian cuisine and brunch cocktails just a short drive away. 
• Man Sentenced in Grocery Store Killing of Ex-Wife's Sister (internewscast.com) — A man has been sentenced to life in prison without parole, plus 25 years, for killing his former sister-in-law and wounding her brother at Tana Food Mart on Lawrenceville Highway in Lilburn in April 2024. The victims were working at the Ethiopian grocery when an argument escalated into gunfire, and Lilburn police say the guilty plea spared the community a full trial.
