After four years of vacancies and foreclosures nationwide, the opening of a new business is something people get excited about, but the opening of six new businesses in a single shopping center makes headlines Since November, Akers Mill Square Shopping Center at the intersection of Cobb Parkway and Akers Mill Road has seen the opening of a Golfsmith and Toys ‘R Us/Babies ‘R Us.
