What Business Do You Wish Existed in Smyrna-Vinings?

What’s one business that doesn’t exist in Smyrna or Vinings that you wish did?

We put the question to Smyrna-Vinings Facebook fans, filled with impassioned health food lovers—and restaurant chain supporters—to weigh in on the fantasy.

The list of wishes was lengthy, ranging from gyms to “more restaurants that don’t fall in the fast food category”, as resident Mandy Rogers puts it. She was seconded by reader Barbara Robertson, who added that she instead wishes for a “Nice restaurant with a varied menu”.

We also received a couple of pleas for the kids, as residents Missy Wilson and Beth Gearhart point out to the lack of haircut salons and pools/waterparks, respectively. But the grand majority seemed to agree on one business that has yet to make its way to town: Trader Joe’s.

Here’s the complete list:

• Trader Joe’s
• Whole Foods
• Farmers’ Markets
• YMCA
• Gold’s Gym
• Shake Shack
• Boston Market
• Texas Roadhouse
• Chipotle
• Better Diners
• A kids’ haircut salon
  
• More individually owned restaurants

Until they do come to town, we can only dream about these places.
