🌱 Cityhood Committee Fined + New Chopt Location Opens Next Month

Hello all. It's me, Sean Peek, your host of the Daily. Let's get this Wednesday started off right, with a quick guide to everything you need to know about what's going on in town these days.

But first, today's weather:

Turning sunny; cooler. High: 65 Low: 46.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in East Cobb who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our East Cobb Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories today in East Cobb:

1. The East Cobb cityhood committee has been fined by the Georgia Ethics Board. The committee failed to submit financial disclosure reports before the May primary. The committee has been ordered to pay a $5,000 fine for the violation. Bob Lax, an opponent of the cityhood proposal, filed the complaint. ( The Atlanta Journal Constitution)
2. Chopt will be opening a new East Cobb location in November. The store will be located at 4250 Roswell Rd, Suite 630 with an opening date of Nov. 9. The store will offer salads, wraps, and bowls to customers. The popular salad brand is known for offering high-quality ingredients through a rotating menu. (Yahoo News)
3. Cobb County 911 is implementing numerous changes to attract new employees. The 911 center is emphasizing recruiting while offering increased pay and an improved hiring process. The center hopes that the improvements will alleviate the ongoing staffing shortage while reducing some of the stress for current employees. (Fox 5 Atlanta)

Patch deals of the day:

The Patch Deals team scours the web for deals we think you’ll love. These limited-time offers are worth a look — especially if you’re doing some early holiday shopping.
