Big Lots, 421 Columbia Avenue: February 2025 no comments
As I believe we have discussed, Big Lots went Chapter 11 back in October, and will be closing down the whole chain, something now in progress.
This building, which featured here previously as a Bi-Lo is the anchor for this little plaza, which also has another upcoming vacancy. It's unclear exactly when they will close, but at this point I suspect they will not last another month, as they are already down to 40% off.
Great Clips, 7546 Garners Ferry Road Suite 240-B: 31 December 2024 4 comments
Commenter Mr. BO sends these pictures saying that he was a satisfied customer.
This would be right next to the former Steve's Subs, and in fact a number of storefronts in this plaza have featured here over the years.

Grand Appliances, 4886 Sunset Boulevard: Summer 2024 no comments
It's a little hard to say the exact name of this place. Google has it as Grand Appliances•New Sales•Scratch and Dent Sales while their Facebook says Grand Appliances & Mattress•New Sales•Scratch & Dent Sales.
At any rate, their last Facebook post is from May 2024, so I'm going to list the closing date as "Summer 2024". There was some activity in the buildiing when I drove by last Saturday, so perhaps something new is coming.

United Auto Sales, 7001 Garners Ferry Road: 7 comments
United Auto Sales moved to this location in 2012 after their old location on Forest Drive was torn down to build Cook Out. Although Google is labeling this location as Temporarily Closed, I think it is more likely that United has shut down for good after a 12 year run here.

Hitch RV, 8015 Garners Ferry Road: April 2024 no comments
I was never really aware of Hitch RV on Garners Ferry though I must have seen it driving past many times. LoopNet has a picture of the lot in operation, and gives the size of the place as 4.63 acres, which is a pretty good plot. They also say the building dates to 1972, while I might have placed it earlier than that.

The Blended Bakery, 5076 Sunset Boulevard Suite A: 7 March 2024 1 comment
I was not aware of this restaurant, tucked away in McCauley Square until commenter Heath mentioned it. Looking at the menu, I think I would have liked some of the sandwiches, though I would not generally be in that area at lunchtime. I will say that when I stopped by to take these pictures, the the parking lot for the strip was entirely too busy and too crowded. The owners' Facebook page does mention the fact that having so many restaurants in there made it hard to stand out. You can read that page for the closing message as well.

Jersey Mike's, 5594 Sunset Boulevard Suite B: January 2023 1 comment
This location of Jersey Mike's on Sunset by Krispy Kreme, seems to have closed in Jaunary. I didn't see any sign on the door when I went by, and there's nothing about it on the Facebook page (which remains active with corporate level posts), but the individual web site for the store is gone as well.

NTB Tire & Service Centers, 7422 Garners Ferry Road: Late 2023 1 comment
I don't believe I've ever been to a National Tire & Battery, though I see they spun off from Sears in 2003, so I guess you could say I did business with them in a roundabout way through that Diehard connection.
As far as I can tell from the Google reviews, this location closed around three months ago, so I'm calling it late 2003. It seems like a pretty decent location, so I would not be surprised to see another repair operation set up shop here.

Ice Cream Taco, 4884 Sunset Boulevard: November 2023 (Moved) 1 comment
It's definitely not ice cream weather tonight, but summer is coming -- eventually!
Ice Cream Taco was in this little strip mall on Sunset which has seen a number of things come and go over the last few years. I don't seem to have a closing for the previous operation in this suite, but as of 2014 when I did a cloing for Alibaba's, it was apparently recently vacated. According to The State, Ice Cream Taco opened here in March of 2022, and I actually learned something from the article. My assumption had been that the store name referred to some sort of frozen novelty served in sugar tacos rather than sugar cones, but in actuality, the place serves regular, hot, tacos -- and ice cream.
In November, they relocated to 2708 Emanuel Church Road.

Ricky's Tire & Auto Center, 1534 Sunset Boulevard: July 2023 2 comments
I don't know much about Ricky's Tire & Auto, but they seem to been a well regarded shop and closed last month after struggling with first COVID and then the economy for a while.
