You may recall a while back we reported that Greene’s Fine Foods on East Trinity, which specialized in fudge, candy and ice cream would soon be expanding into the world of adult beverages; including wine, beer and growlers.  Tommy writes in to tell us that “Greene’s Growlers, Craft Beer, Wine, and Soda shop is now open for business!”

To get an idea of the 16 beers currently on tap at Greene’s new Growler station, see the pic above.

Both Heliotrope and Greene’s Fine Foods were featured as great holiday spots on Fox5’s Good Day Atlanta yesterday.

Watch the slightly over-the-top Fox5 correspondent talk her way thru Heliotrope here and here.

And watch her drool over a variety of treats at Greene’s here and here.

Thanks to Marc at Heliotrope for alerting me!

Crisp evenings call for lots of community events!

• Paula tells us that Greene’s Fine Foods is having its Grand Opening today, notated by balloons out front.
• Carl writes in that Worthmore is having an “America Celebrates Photography” opening reception tonight featuring Johnny Colt, the original bass player for The Black Crowes and the current bass player for Train.
• From a recent walkby – Sharian’s annual outdoor rug sale starts tomorrow and runs thru the 12th.  Look for the nighttime security guard.
• Beacon Hill Studios is hosting an Open House fundraiser for DHS Arts program this Saturday from 4p-9p ($10 suggested donation) – courtesy of Carl
• Though this happened last week, “A” lets us know that Twist & Scoot’s new Decatur store is now open between Dancing Goat’s and Whit’s End.

Anything else?

Again from Linda…

Greene’s Fine Foods, offering Nuts, Candy, Gifts & Fun, is opening October 1 in the old Federal Building on E. Trinity.  They specialize in New Crop Georgia pecans but say they have a selection for everyone by offering the highest quality nuts, handmade candies, gifts and fun for the whole family.  Many of the products are handmade and all of the products are hand served.  Owners and brothers, Tommy and Phil Greene learned everything they know about the candy and nut business from their parents who have been in the business in Augusta for almost 25 years.  The website is www.greenesfinefoods.com.

Finally!  A store sign in front of the old post office building indicates that it will be “Greene’s Fine Foods“.

The only other online info I can find on it is in the form of job postings like this one…

Looking for energetic and fun full and part time employees to work in a brand new retail Candy, Nut, and Gift store in Downtown Decatur. Please forward resume or send an email to tommy@greenefinefoods.com.

I hope Tommy meant to write “greenefinefood”, because he’s missing the ‘s’ and the store’s website includes it.  If so, not my job apps are going to get thru.

Candy and gifts!  All the rumors seem to be true…though we had heard nothing about ‘fun’ previously.

Welcome to the ‘hood of neighbors, Greene’s!
