At a time when it seems Burger King has lost its way and the company announcing that hundreds of restaurants will close this year, one franchisee is doubling down and investing in the future of the brand. GPS Hospitality, an Atlanta-based operator of nearly 500 units, plans to scrape and rebuild their existing Dunwoody area Burger King at 4537 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, just off I-285 and close to Georgetown shopping center.
Ford Fry's King+Duke is closing. Multiple well placed real estate sources as well as a King+Duke employee indicate that the Buckhead restaurant will close "around August," June 18 after a little more than ten years in business. The restaurant is located at the intersection of Peachtree and West Paces Ferry Roads in a freestanding building but part of the collective One Buckhead Plaza development. When King+Duke opened in May 2013, it replaced longstanding upscale southwest restaurant Nava, a concept from Buckhead Life Restaurant Group which closed in 2012.
