McDonald's will soon close their longstanding restaurant in an outparcel of Cambridge Square shopping center in Brookhaven. The restaurant, located at 3510 Ashford Dunwoody Road, is due to close Saturday, October 11.
Established in St. George, Utah in 2010, Swig has today grown to a chain of more than 140 locations across the country, with its strongest presence in its home market, where it operates about fifty units.
Swig is most well known for its "dirty sodas," soft drinks mixed with add-ins such as cream and flavored syrups. The shops also feature pretzel bites and cookies among other offerings.
The company entered the Georgia market this past January with a location on Battlefield Parkway in Fort Oglethorpe near Chattanooga, but the location planned for Brookhaven will be the first of reportedly several planned for the greater metro Atlanta area.
Sources close to the transaction tell ToNeTo Atlanta that a lease has been signed and that Swig plans to make use of the existing structure.
Cambridge Square owner Regency Centers recently enhanced the shopping center by introducing a new Publix grocery store in place of a former Kroger and also added a new location of Brooklyn Bagel & Deli in place of a former Starbucks. Soon, a new location of Pet Supplies Plus will open in place of a former Dollar Tree.
Have you ever been to Swig? Are you pleased to see McDonald's replaced with something new and different? What other types of businesses would you like to see open in Brookhaven?

I can't see how this could possibly last more than 4 months.
I'd much rather have the McDonald's. I can't see a place that just sells sodas being successful, but what do I know?
We don't need more sweet shops. We need a nice diner type meat and vegetable place that's open for lunch and dinner. Too many "lunch" cafes close at 2 pm. Tired of burgers/tacos/wings/chicken fingers/noodles etc.
No thanks. This just seems dumb.
Diabetes drive thru
I'd rather have the Dollar Tree come back.
