Vinings Jubilee Restaurants, Retailers Pivot to Continue Serving Community During Pandemic

In addition to our normal news coverage, What Now Atlanta is tracking ways Atlanta’s businesses are adapting to the novel coronavirus and the challenges it brings to brick-and-mortars.

While many shopping centers have opted to completely shutter during the COVID-19 pandemic, Vinings Jubilee is working hand-in-hand with its tenants to continue serving the community.

“While the landscape of COVID-19 is ever-evolving, the health and safety of our tenants and patrons is our number one priority,” David Cochran, president and CEO of Paces Properties, the owner of Vinings Jubilee, said Thursday in a press release.

“We plan to follow all the guidelines set forth by the government and respect any decisions our retailers choose to make for their best interest. We have always loved being a gathering place for our community to enjoy and we look forward to being able to serve them all again in a safe manner.”
