Closed since last September due to an "electrical fire," Basil's Restaurant & Tapas Bar is slated to "officially" re-open tomorrow August 1st for lunch and dinner. The restaurant quietly "soft opened" last week, having used the past few days to work out the kinks. For those who may not recall, Basil's features a Mediterranean menu and has been in business for about 25 years. Basil's is located on Grandview Avenue in Buckhead, across from Anis Bistro.
A new business called Pronto Wash has opened in the former SunTrust building at the rear of Lenox Square. The car wash business advertises that it's "eco friendly" and can be done while you shop.

A Jimmy John's employee at a nearby location reports that the new store should be open "within three weeks."
Sherlock's Wine Merchant is in talks to open a new store on North Decatur Road in Emory Village. The 2,000 square foot shop would open in the former Chevron gas station.

The new Sherlock's would be meant to serve as a replacement for the store that closed earlier this year on Peachtree Road in Brookhaven.

Believe it or not, a new Captain D's is being built. The new Captain D's will be built on Crown Pointe Parkway in Kingsland, close to the Georgia/Florida line. The Nashville, Tennessee-based fast food eatery specializes in seafood and has about 500 locations nationwide. There are probably more former Captain D's than active locations locally, but the chain does still operate locations on Montreal Road near Northlake Mall and on Hugh Howell Road in Tucker.
Phipps Plaza recently welcomed the addition of Robert Graham.

*Tax Free goodie*
Starting today and through August 28th, stop by the Guest Services counter at Lenox Square and receive a free $30 VISA gift card for every $150 in GAP gift cards you purchase. The Gap gift cards are reportedly redeemable at all Gap stores (not just Lenox Square) plus all Old Navy and Banana Republic stores and respective outlet stores. With Georgia's sales tax holiday this weekend on clothing purchases under $100(per item), this deal is extra good. (City of Atlanta sales tax is a whopping 8%.) This offer is good while supplies last.
