I believe the O'Reily Auto Parts was an Advance Auto Parts (although it might have been a Meineke). Anyway, I feel like Advance already had a store in that location prior.<br /><br />It's a tough spot because folks in Decatur tend to stay in Decatur, Toco Hills go to Toco Hills, and Tucker stays in Tucker. The only reason we would head out there from Decatur growing up was to eat at the Po Folks or go to the Krystal or to drive to Northlake/N. DeKalb. Of course, I still remember driving to Memorial Dr. to shop at Zayre and Circuit City. <br /><br />I mean you've had Po Folks, Builder's Square, Hardees, Arthur Treachers Fish and Chips, and I think there was either a Richway or a K-Mart there before Builder's Square. I think the biggest problem with that spot is that (a) it is at that strange intersection with 78 and 29 that is just difficult for people to navigate and (b) DeKalb Co doesn't give a rip about the area as anything more than easy tax revenue.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-85810431695561596482012-11-21T13:33:28.679-05:002012-11-21T13:33:28.679-05:00Perhaps Lowe's could follow the trend of openi...Perhaps Lowe's could follow the trend of opening in proximity to the competition and open a store where Cub Foods used to be. They would be nearly next door to Home Depot. That space could also accomodate a Trader Joe's very well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
