Many of you are likely anticipating the opening of the Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft store near Target on Old Fort Parkway.
Crafters will have to wait a couple more months before the opening of the Murfreesboro store.
Jo-Ann’s is scheduled to open the last week of August, said Joni Canter, special events coordinator for Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores. A grand opening celebration is slated for Sept. 9-11.
Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores is the nation’s largest specialty retailer of fabrics and crafts, offering a wide selection of products for quilting, apparel, craft and home décor sewing along with a full array of components, tools and kits for crafters.

A Marco’s Pizza is now open at 1208 Northfield Blvd., next door to Family Video. The pizza joint offers delivery, carry out and a small dining area.
According to the company website, Marco’s Pizza is “committed to making authentic Italian pizza with fresh ingredients.”
“It is a phenomenal pizza,” Co-owner Tim Brown said.
The dough is made fresh daily in the store. The restaurant still uses a blend of fresh mozzarella, provolone and muenster cheeses.
The menu also includes sub sandwiches and chicken wings.
Store hours are Sunday-Thursday 11 a.m.-midnight, Friday-Saturday 11 a.m.-1 a.m. Call the store at 895-9755.
Marco’s Pizza operates stores in 17 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Brown said 25-30 Marco’s Pizza locations would be opening in the Nashville market within the next seven years.

Antonio’s Little Italy is now open at the corner of Old Fort Parkway and Cason Lane in the Kroger shopping center.
The restaurant serves authentic, homemade Italian food made from fresh ingredients, said Owner Sam Youssef.
Menu items include eggplant parmesan, meatballs, chicken parmesan, chicken alfredo, chicken caesar salad, creamy potato soup and orzo soup with chicken. Some of the desserts are cheesecake, baklava and tiramisu.
Antonio’s Little Italy also serves cappuccino, espresso and other hot drinks.
Most menu items are priced at $7.50-$8, which Youssef said will hopefully encourage more people to eat out during these economic times.
When asked why he decided to open a restaurant in Murfreesboro, Youssef said Murfreesboro is a growing area, located near his home.
“I think Murfreesboro needs a good Italian restaurant with a good price,” he said. “People need good food, a good meal with a good price. People in Murfreesboro deserve that.”
Youssef owns Greek Café Grill restaurants in Cool Springs and Brentwood. He opened his first restaurant in 2002. Youssef has previously worked in Italian restaurants in New York City.
