A new BP fuel center and convenience store is coming soon to the corner of Spalding Drive and Holcomb Bridge Road in Peachtree Corners. The new BP will replace a former Burger King which closed in early 2019. Documents filed with the City of Peachtree Corners indicate that there were plans in 2019 for an undisclosed bank to replace the burger joint, but those plans never came to fruition. Several years ago BP operated a fuel center and convenience store across from their newly planned location, but the former location was later razed and rebranded as a Chevron.
Scoville Hot Chicken, a concept that debuted last fall with a location in Sandy Springs, will soon double its store count to six locations! Created by restaurateur Justin Lim, Scoville is largely touchless, with customers ordering at kiosks via tablets. A product of the pandemic, the concept has thrived with fewer employees needed and an incredibly limited menu with only a few sandwiches, slaw, fries and a few beverage options. Scoville's first outpost, on Roswell Road in Sandy Springs, opened in early December 2020 and was followed the following month with locations in downtown Athens. A Buckhead outpost followed in March. Now, three more locations are in the works, with two set to replace short-lived restaurants. In West Midtown, at 999 Chattahoochee Avenue, Scoville will open in place of the former Red's BBQ. Other Scoville restaurants are planned near Decatur (Decatur Crossing) and East Cobb (Sandy Plains Centre) where the hot chicken joint will replace former locations of Thai Express and Pita Mediterranean Street Food, respectively, each of which closed after only a short time in business.

The 1,662 square foot space is currently being renovated to suit the needs of the new bakery. Cafe at Pharr & sugar benders previously collaborated on a shared space just off Johnson Ferry Road in East Cobb. Sugar benders features assorted custom cakes and cupcakes and lunch fare from Café at Pharr.

The new store is located in the Westside Provisions District alongside Anthropologie and Jennifer Balcos Gallery, among others.
