🦬 Coming soon to Athens
A new burger-and-steak spot appears to be joining Athens’ growing restaurant lineup this summer.

🌿 Cofer’s Has the Plants Athens Yards Need Before Summer Really Hits
The expensive part of buying plants in May is not the first day they look good. It’s figuring out what still looks good after Athens heat, sun, shade, and real summer weather settle in.
That’s why Cofer’s Home & Garden is worth the trip. They’ve been helping Athens grow since 1922, with annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, native plants, houseplants, soil, tools, patio furniture, and Weber grills all in one place.
Bring a photo of the spot you want to fix: a bare front bed, a porch that needs color, a shady corner, or a backyard you want to actually use this summer. The Cofer’s team can help you pick what fits your yard before you spend money on the wrong thing. Mention Athens Scoop when you go.
