Earlier this year, .I held an officially unofficial poll asking what the community would like to see fill the old Arby's. After a lot of dancing around with bids submitted then withdrawn and reconsidered, and a long, awkward, silence, the majority of poll voters are getting their wish. The temporary signs went up this week and the location is expected to start operations by the end of the year.
And there wasn't even a squabble over zoning.
On to the next question.
What would the community like to see replace the New York Butcher Shop that recently closed its Dunwoody location? (And I am SERIOUSLY pissed about this because they had some of the best custom meat to be found in a neighborhood retail location and I'm not up for trekking all the way over to Sandy Springs for the same items, no matter how addictive their lobster salad, prime tenderloin, and lobster bisque are!) Of course, if I happen to be in their neighborhood, I'll stop in to feed the addiction.
Comments are open. Considerations for this location:
Forget "Williamsburg". The structure was built by the franchisees of Java U who thumbed their noses at the architectural standard and built what they liked.
Forget about drive-throughs. The awkward little triangle has no room for expansion.
Great location for visibility. Traffic - not so much.
Easily take advantage of marketing to built-in population at All Saints. Anyone willing to adjust their hours to accommodate Sunday afternoons and evenings should do well. The site is also poised to participate in the 4th of July parade.
