Hudson Grille Snaps Up Former Roadhouse Grill In Duluth

MAMA reFU'Ses To Stay At Toco Hills


Mama Fu's at Toco Hills, one of the first franchised locations to open, is now closed. Opened by local Moe's franchisee Tony Lewis, it had a following that consisted of Emory students and local families. However, Mama Fu’s could not survive another summer with their clientele out of school and vacationing. Mama Fu's was sold last year by Atlanta based Raving Brands to a franchisee out of Texas, which may have played a major role in this closure. There is already a sign posted announcing a new pizza parlor which will be opening soon. Repeat Atlanta!

Your StarBUCKS Are No Good Here:

Starbucks Corporation recently announced it would be closing 600 Starbucks locations. This comes as no surprise considering, the company has some locations so close to each other that you could purchase your coffee at one, walk five feet, and purchase your muffin at another!

The following locations are doomed for closure in the Metro Atlanta Area (Don’t worry. If its closing, it’s probably because there is a Starbucks right across the street) :


1375 Peachtree St., Atlanta
5841 Roswell Road NE, Atlanta
250 Park Ave. W, Atlanta
3333 Buford Drive (Mall of Georgia), Buford
2941 Paces Ferry Road, in Vinings

2860 East-West Conn., Austell

Crescent Moon Cuts Its Expansion Plans


Crescent Moon, a neighborhood eatery which currently has three locations (Decatur, Northlake, Mall of Georgia), seems to have abandoned their previously announced location at Renaissance Walk; a new condo project at the corner of Auburn and Piedmont Ave. No work seems to have ever been done, and the sign that read "Crescent Moon Coming Soon" is now gone.

Largest Pottery Barn To Open July 19 At Lenox


After relocating from the upper level to its new home on the main corridor of Lenox Square, Pottery Barn will have its largest store, right here in Atlanta. However, do we really need or deserve this Pottery Barn? I for one am in the mall what seems like every day, and have never seen tremendous crowds in the existing Pottery Barn. The Apple store, which has recently expanded to become the largest store in the south, at times has had a line waiting to enter, justifying a large store. I fail to see that same justification at Pottery Barn. I might also add that I have heard suggestions of malfeasance and fraud of current management at the Lenox Pottery Barn that may have led corporate officials to believe that the store is doing better than it actually is.
