Atlanta-based Arby's announced earlier this week it plans to offer a limited time offer (LTO) venison (deer) steak sandwich in select locations next month. Seventeen restaurants in six states (Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Georgia) will offer the $5 sandwich.  In Georgia, only the one at  4415 Roswell Road in north Buckhead in an outparcel of The Fresh Market-anchored Roswell-Wieuca Shopping Center will offer the sandwich.  The sandwich, which features thick-cut venison and crispy onions, topped with juniper berry sauce, will be available November 4th through 6th only.   The restaurants offering the sandwich were selected because of their location in popular hunting markets.   "Hunters hunt the meats, and we have the meats, so it makes sense for us to connect with them and offer a sandwich that they can’t get at any other restaurant chain," said Rob Lynch, Arby's Restaurant Group CMO, said in a statement.

The Greenhouse will soon be gone from Ponce de Leon Avenue 

After a number of delays, the "Murder" Kroger on Ponce de Leon Avenue will close for good on October 28th.  The store and surrounding property, totaling 5.5 acres, will be redeveloped into "725 Ponce,"  a mixed use development that will feature a new 12-story office building built over a 60,000-square-foot Kroger.  The $190 million dollar project from Atlanta-based New City LLC was first announced this past January but was delayed a number of months reportedly due to financing difficulties.  In the end, New City secured J.P. Morgan Asset Management as its capital partner. Birmingham-based Brasfield & Gorrie will serve as the project's general contractor.  Demolition of the current Kroger store could begin as early as mid- November.  The office building is set to be finished by the end of 2018, with the new Kroger expected to open in early 2019.
