Construction Begins on New Sprig Restaurant in Old Town Lilburn

Construction has started for a new restaurant in Old Town Lilburn, as the owners of a Decatur-area eatery move closer to a spring opening.

Sprig Restaurant owners Anthony and Jennifer Tiberia have agreed to locate a new restaurant in the space previously occupied by the Blue Rooster Café & Bakery on Main Street.

The owners have said that the biggest draw was the feel of the neighborhood.

Construction officially started March 13, and the owners expect renovations to  cost about $400,000, Anthony Tiberia said.

Construction should be complete within two months, he added. And, the target date for opening is June 1.

"So far so good," Tiberia said. "Avoiding any unforeseen issues we should be on schedule."

Currently, the owners are looking for suggestions for the name of the restaurant. The public may submit suggestions to the company's Facebook page.

So far, "Swig," "Twig," and "Sprout," are among the suggestions made by Lilburn residents and others.

As for the Blue Rooster Café & Bakery, it has reopened in downtown Lawrenceville.
