The reason cited for the sale is so that the owner can "focus on out of state business."
Frank Ski's space was for many years a location of Atlanta-based Mick's, before closing in 2007. After sitting vacant for about a year, VITA, an Italian restaurant, opened. VITA did not last long, converting to "The Thirsty Dog Tavern" less than two years later. Frank Ski's opened in late 2011.
According to the sales flyer, over $1,000,000 was spent renovating the space.

While the restaurant is located on Peachtree Road in south Buckhead (an area known as Brookwood Hills) the sales listing describes the location as follows:
"This is a sale of a well known, well established full service restaurant in the heart of Buckhead. This super hot Buckhead location is surrounded by Midtown, Downtown and the Perimeter marketplace affording an amazing middle to hi income, hi density residences, tons of retail, restaurants, office hi rises, hotels, convention centers, stadiums, concert halls, etc and two regional malls Lenox Mall and Phipps Plaza."
Frank Ski was a popular DJ on Atlanta hip hop station V103 for over fourteen years before leaving in 2012. Currently, The Frank Ski Show can be heard in Washington, DC on WHUR, a station formatted as "Adult Urban Contemporary," and owned by Howard University.

It hasn't been closed for a while? I drove by the other week and it looked closed.
I miss Mick's.
It was definitely closed a few weeks ago. Not sure if it was permanent or temporary though. Paper over the windows and everything.
I miss Vita, and more importantly Fratelli Di Napoli. SOO delicious.
I thought they did a lot of business. Always seemed packed when I drove by.
This restaurant was terribly managed so I'm not surprised to see it up for sale. I am surprised that it took this long. I took a large group there about a year and a half ago. We took up about half of the restaurant. The other half was completely empty. I had 2 extra people show up than I had reserved seating for and they refused to seat them claiming the kitchen couldn't keep up. Definetely one of the worst restaurants in Atlanta. Glad to see it go. It was all hype. The food was not that good.
I should have suspected something when they stated offering deals on Groupon
Anonymous - please don't say that! The Varsity just released a deal on Sweet Jack today....
Lol, that just proves their point. The Varsity's food is TERRIBLE...the only good thing is their shakes!!
