Mellow Mushroom coming to Rome's Broad Street

-By the close of business today, a group of investors will own the would-be home of Rome City Market with plans to open Northwest Georgia's first Mellow Mushroom premium pizza shop. The final paperwork is due for signing later today. The property, once owned by Walt Adams and partners, is owned by United Community Bank, which is handling the sale.
 
-Calhoun businessman Truman Webb and son Jeremy Duke had had been scouting locations here for months. Webb and another son own the Myrtle Beach Mellow Mushroom franchise. At one time, the former Johnny Carino's location on Turner McCall was under consideration. Several other Broad Street sites were possibilities as well.
 
-But when Rome City Market--Adams' collection of upscale retailers and a bistro--finally collapsed, talks began to bring Mellow Mushroom to just a few doors down from Harvest Moon and Dogwood Books & Antiques.
