Self-storage displaces Historic District Shopping Center tenants.
One Atlanta full service catering company is taking advantage of a forced relocation from its Decatur Street space.
Black Tie Barbecue and neighboring businesses were forced to relocate from the Historic District Shopping Center when its landlord decided to transform the plaza into self-storage.
Spencer Humphrey, owner of the full service catering company, told What Now Atlanta Monday there’s a high possibility that the catering company’s new location will offer lunch and dinner to the public on occasion, something the old space wasn’t suited for.
“We did lunches during the summer at our last location, but the space just wasn’t public friendly,” Humphrey said. “It was a little too urban.”
Black Tie Barbecue will reopen in East Point this November replacing the now shuttered White Elephant Thai Restaurant, located across the street from Thumbs Up Diner.
The Village Theatre, which was also located at the Historic District Shopping Center, is relocating to the Pencil Factory Lofts Downtown.
Where (if at all) other Historic District Shopping Center tenants will reopen has not been confirmed.
