The Vinings Business Association (VBA) has named SOHO restaurant as its 2009 Vinings Business of the Year.
In making the announcement during the monthly 1st Tuesday luncheon held January 5th at Social Vinings restaurant, VBA President Bill Borden said, “We want to congratulate SOHO and owners Frank and Susan Smith for their outstanding commitment to the Vinings community and for their continued growth in this area. They have shown leadership in the community, besides being in the restaurant business and we recognize their achievements.”
