Moving Forward: The Growth of Chamblee
Posted by Kevin on Wednesday, July 23, 2008
In the move to our current location on Pierce Drive in Chamblee, GA, we have put a great deal of time and effort into restoring and transforming an old brick office and warehouse into a modern, lofty headquarters. We will have been here for two years next March, yet we are still renovating and updating our facility almost daily. While not only adding value to our workplace and creating a more employee friendly work environment, we feel very fortunate to be in the heart of a small but rapidly expanding business community in Chamblee.
Chamblee is located on the north side of Atlanta within the perimeter, in a historically industrial area. In addition to its rich history of antique shops, Chamblee has welcomed several new businesses that are revitalizing the area while offering residents something more than the usual chain and big box establishments.
As an achoo! Staff member, the location provides convenient and diverse local amenities. In the mornings I can pick up a coffee or latte at the corner coffee shop, Get Coffee, located literally right next door to our facilty. The proprietors of Get Coffee opened their doors several weeks ago after completely converting and renovating an old Pure Oil service station. They offer traditional coffeehouse fare in a unique setting. As an added bonus for someone like me, they are pet friendly, which means my dog, Cotton, can partake in a complimentary doggie treat while I sit on the patio and enjoy a cappuccino as the trains and Marta pass by. Around lunch if we are looking for something other than a panini, we can walk a few blocks or take a very short ride and grab a slice of pizza and salad at Vintage Pizza. Vintage Pizza preceeded us in the neighborhood by a few months and their pizza and pasta are wonderful. It is a frequent favorite here, and we all love their lunch special. We also enjoy the Old Chamblee Bistro for sandwiches and look forward to trying the newly opened Beyond the Bayou for some authentic Cajun cuisine.
Unlike many communities that have failed to keep up with change, Chamblee is growing, and growing in a good way. From new condominium and townhome developments to businesses like ours, Chamblee is a blossoming municipality that we at achoo! Allergy are proud to call home.
