Dear Friends and Neighbors,
We have some exciting news to share with you — and while it marks the end of one
chapter, we believe it opens a wonderful new one for our beloved Acworth Village Store.
Since 2001, the Acworth Community Project has had the privilege of operating the
Acworth Village Store. It has truly been a labor of love — for every volunteer, every
board member, every employee, and every community supporter who has helped keep
its doors open over the years. We are deeply grateful for the trust and warmth you have
shown us throughout this journey.
The time has now come to pass the torch. On April 1st, we will officially hand over the
business to new owners who are not only Acworth residents, but also a woman-owned
business — people who are deeply rooted in this community and share our commitment
to keeping the store a true gathering place for all.
The new owners intend to carry on the spirit of the Acworth Village Store as a classic
General Store, continuing to serve our community just as it always has. We couldn’t be
more pleased with this direction, and we offer them our full and enthusiastic support.
The building itself will remain in the hands of the Acworth Historical Society, ensuring
that this cherished piece of our town’s heritage is preserved for generations to come. We
are also pleased to share that the Acworth Community Project will be contributing funds
from the donations it has received to the Historical Society to help meet the grant match
for the building — a meaningful way to give back and invest in the long-term care of this
special place.
With this transition, the Acworth Community Project will now be able to turn its focus
to other pressing needs in our community. We look forward to continuing to serve
Acworth in new and meaningful ways.
Thank you for your ongoing love and support of the Acworth Village Store — and of this
community. The best days are still ahead.
With gratitude and warmth,
The Acworth Community Project
