Leaving Behind All But The Hanging “Animal Heads”
UPDATE (Dec. 16, 2011): Buckhead’s Saskatoon to reopen as Olde Towne Tavern & Grille
Saskatoon Restaurant will soon meat its end at 360 Pharr Road in Buckhead. This steak, fish and wild game eatery which served items such as elk tenderloin, ostrich fillet, buffalo flank steak and venison rib chops, originally opened in February of this year (bull testicles, anyone?).
Taking space that had just undergone $1,000,000.00 in brand new improvements, furniture, fixtures, equipment, HVAC, and grease traps by previous tenant, Harry Bissett’s of Athens, the tenant was buying into a location that had already seen a multimillion dollar build-out.
The landlord is allowing Saskatoon to stay open while space is being marketed and is up for lease through the Shumacher Group.
Located in the heart of Buckhead, the Saskatoon space is at Atrium at Buckhead (formerly Alexan Buckhead), a luxury retail and residential complex between Pricci’s and Atlanta Fish Market.
Besides an unfavorable location, Saskatoon’s rental rates of $17,806.80 per month (6,816 square feet) with extras at $3,700.00 per month might have been a factor in their failure– not saying that people don’t want to spend discretionary income on eating deer during a recession (these figures are from the Shumacher Group)
For those interested in leasing the space: The Lease expires 2017 with two five year options to renew. The new Tenant with have full use of all assets with no key money required. The animal heads and art work will be removed at lease execution (we know what you’re thinking: “Damn it! I want those animal carcasses”).
