Amici Italian Café, a family-owned Italian restaurant with six locations throughout Georgia, chose Corner Market in Conyers for its newest location.  The company will occupy more than 4,500 square feet of space in the mixed-use village center, which is located on the corner of Parker and Flat Shoals roads. Construction on the restaurant is set to begin in August 2014 with an anticipated opening by January 2015.

Chris Torino, Amici’s founder and Vice President of Brand Development, and Mike Torino, President represented the restaurant in the transaction. D.L. Roper & Associates, LLC represented Corner Market, with Faye Phillips, associate director of the Corner Market Leasing and Management team.

“We are pleased to have Amici Italian Café join the growing list of in-demand tenants at Corner Market,” said Faye Phillips. “Amici chose Corner Market because of its ideal location, providing easy access to high-quality Italian food for the literally thousands of residents and workers along the I-20 East corridor.”

“We’re excited for the restaurant to become an active part of the thriving Conyers-Rockdale community, as Amici restaurants have been active in the other Georgia communities in which they are located,” said Marty Jones, executive director for Conyers Rockdale Economic Development Council.
