Indoor cycling studio SoulCycle has announced plans to close nearly 25 percent of its studios.

The SoulCycle in Buckhead at The Shops Around Lenox will remain open, but the relatively new studio at Ponce City Market will close.
Plant Based Pizzeria, which in early 2021 opened what was then its second overall location in Sandy Springs, has closed. The restaurant, located at 8540 Roswell Road [Huntridge Center] opened January 10, 2021, and closed "temporarily" sometime in July, a move we have now confirmed is permanent. (The last submission on Yelp.com was a four star review on July 18.) The restaurant, which also served plant-based burgers, claimed to be Atlanta's first "all-vegan pizzeria."
Scalini's Italian Restaurant announced Monday that it has closed for business.

Copper Coin in Woodstock is closing. The locally owned coffee shop announced its planned closure Tuesday in message posted to its Facebook page. "It’s with a heavy heart that Copper Coin announces it will be permanently closing on Saturday, September 3, 2022. Rising food costs combined with new discretionary spending trends prohibit us from renewing our upcoming five-year lease. To our many customers, fans, remote-work guests, and fellow coffee addicts—THANK YOU." Copper Coin started as Old Woodstock Coffee House in 2010 before moving from Uptown to Downtown Woodstock in 2011. Copper Coin founder Mike Gullicksen went through ill-advised expansions to Brookhaven and Cumming, both of which subsequently closed. Gullicksen sold the Woodstock business in 2017 to Randy Altmann, who in turn sold the business to Chantel Adams and her husband this past October.
