At least two new stores and

a new restaurant for Fayetteville were discussed Tuesday night at the

work session of the city's Planning and Zoning Commission.

A representative of Thomas

Enterprises, the developer of Fayette Pavilion, said that the next building

to go up in that complex will house a Dollar Tree store and be located

adjacent to Wal-Mart. The building will fill in the vacant space next

to Wal-Mart and eventually house another large retailer as yet unnamed.

Elevations for the building are being considered by the commission and

should be voted on at the Nov. 27 meeting.

A vacancy in the former Home

Place location, caused when that company went out of business, will be

filled in the coming months by Best Buy, a national electronics and appliance

retailer whose closest location is currently near Southlake Mall in Clayton

County, the Thomas representative added.

A discussion item at end of

the work session addressed the possibility of a Cracker Barrel restaurant

opening in front of Lowe's, in one of the outparcels facing Ga. Highway

85. There is no timetable for that project, and no officials plans or

requests have been submitted to the city.
