Representatives for Common House, a new social club concept taking over the former YMCA on Mitchell Avenue in downtown Chattanooga’s Southside, have set a formal opening date for the space.
There is still a long way to go, but Director of Operations Honor Hostetler said she feels good about the May 6 scheduled opening. There is already a wedding booked at the end of April, she said.
“Our timing is really exciting because people are really anxious to get out and socialize in some capacity,” said Membership Director Rob Praino.
He set a goal of having 1,000 members signed up by the time the club opens and said he’s already close to that number.
“People are excited about it. It’s a concept I think we didn’t know we wanted here in town,” Praino said.
