Viewpoint’s ‘healthy and environmentally sound’ fast food chain dies for a second time in two years.
Evos has closed its Midtown location, again.
The “healthy and environmentally sound” fast food chain located in Viewpoint, at 855 Peachtree Street, posted a sign on its entrance Wednesday announcing it had closed.
“We regretfully inform you that as of February 1, 2012, we will no longer be serving from the Evos Viewpoint location,” according to the sign. “In this tough economic climate the decision to cease operations was not taken lightly.”
This isn’t the first time Evos’ Midtown location has shuttered. The original franchisee closed the restaurant in October, 2010 with similar excuses.
According to Beth Hawks, a spokeswoman for Evos Midtown’s most recent franchisee, David Esmie, Evos closed the first time around “due to a legal situation with the lease during the change in ownership.”
“Everyone wanted to keep it open and have a seamless transition but it just wasn’t possible,” Hawks said in an email to What Now Atlanta when Evos closed for the first time. “The previous franchisee had some family obligations that made it where he needed to get out of a business that was so demanding of his time.”
Evos was not immediately available for comment.
