The Holiday Season has come to Piedmont Avenue!

Avoid the scene at the mall, and do some old-fashioned, neighborhood holiday shopping. Greet your neighbors and support local businesses. Stop in Gaylord’s for a hot cocoa, or La Farine for a slice of cake.

Here is a list of some of the fantastic local merchants that are right in the neighborhood. Don’t forget to come by Piedmont Grocery and say hello, pick up some treats, a gift for your favorite connoisseur, or dinner from our hot food bar.
