Western-themed bar closes to make room for new development

Q: We returned for a girl’s getaway and our favorite hometown nightclub was closed and the sign gone. Is the Electric Cowboy closed for good?

A: We are sorry to report your favorite club located in the Kennesaw Crossing Shopping Center closed its doors at the end of January.

The entrances to the shopping center on the southwest corner at Cobb Parkway and North Roberts Road are blocked and the neighboring stores empty.

Electric Cowboys’ Facebook page had this post: “ We hope to be serving you again in the future after we locate a new space close to Kennesaw. We want to thank everyone that helped make our journey possible.

"In the last 8 years, Electric Cowboy Kennesaw has made so many amazing friends and so many customers have made EC what it is today. For some it's a dance, a romance, a cold beverage, a meeting place, a place for music, a second home, the list goes on. …"

He said the proposed project would increase the amount in taxes the city would receive from the 13½-acre property tenfold.

Many have tried to revitalize the shopping center, which Simmons said is a gateway property into the city.
