CORRECTION

Sam LaGrone's "Buy & Sell" column last week gave incorrect information about Champa Thai & Sushi Restaurant. The restaurant has been open since December 2003.

Brier Creek Commons is well on its way to cornering the Triangle market on varieties of pan-Asian restaurants. Not one, but three eateries are lo-mien locations at the shopping center on the corner of U.S. 70 and Brier Creek Parkway, just north of the Outer Loop.

* Fujisan Japanese Steak House held its grand opening last week.

* Champa Thai Restaurant is nearing its interior completion and will be serving pad thai and red sauce curry by mid-summer.

* Zyng Asian Grill has been open for a few months and offers a range of Chinese and Japanese dishes for the lunchtime crowd.

If you live in Wake Forest and need to stash your kid for an hour or so, a new option will soon be available.

Kid Time, a Cary-based baby sitter with five locations in the Triangle, will be opening another location in May at The Factory, the former Athey plant on Main Street, off of U.S. 1.

The short-term day care center is designed to provide parents with a place to have their children watched while the folks take in a movie or run errands.

Kid Time also has an other north-of-the-Beltline location at Greystone Village at the intersection of Old Lead Mine and Sawmill roads.

Also coming to The Factory next month will be a full-frontal assault on those in Wake Forest with a sweet tooth.

Sweet Loralee Pastries, a three-year-old, in-home venture by Ilya Koltusky, will open its first retail location in a 900-square-foot space.

Koltusky, formerly the pastry chef at the Twisted Fork, the offbeat eatery located at the Triangle Town Center, has taken his knack for cakes and flair for flans to a full service bakery.

If you can't wait until the store opens, check out Koltusky's Web site at www.sweetloralee.com.

Atlanta Bread Company and Cafe, near the intersections of Six Forks and Sawmill Roads, has closed its doors.

The store had been open for six years before closing last month.
