Gift, party, and stationery shop Swoozie’s has reopened its original location in Buckhead and will celebrate with a five-day grand opening event beginning Sept. 17
The regional chain, which once had more than 40 locations, was reduced to just the one location at 4285 Roswell Road after the owners filed for bankruptcy. The store closed in February.
Now, just a few months later, the family that founded Swoozie’s nearly 25 years ago is back in control and quietly reopened the store earlier this summer.
David Dworkin and Kelly Plank-Dworkin opened the store in 2001 and now their daughter, Ashley O’Donnell, is at the helm. “Reopening our Buckhead store is about so much more than retail – it’s about reconnecting with the people who have supported us over the years,” O’Donnell said in a statement. “We’re deeply grateful for this community’s partnership and eager to carry the Swoozie’s story forward into its next chapter.”
The newly reopened Swoozie’s was designed to feel like stepping into a “party waiting to happen,” O’Donnell said.
Shoppers will find an assortment of colorful cocktail napkins, sparkling stemless glasses, chic serving pieces and gifts ready to be wrapped on the spot for bridal showers, birthday parties, holidays, or any other special occasion.
