Denver burger chain thinks Atlanta’s a smashing place for corporate growth
Smashburger will open their first Metro Atlanta location in Buckhead, according to spokeswoman Brittany Hodill.
Hodill told What Now Atlanta in an email the burger joint will be located at 2625 Piedmont Road which is at Buckhead Crossing shopping center. Fatburger, which closed early February at the shopping center, will be the location for Atlanta’s first Smashburger.
Tom Ryan, founder of Smashburger Master LLC, told the Atlanta Business Chronicle last year the Atlanta market will be key for the restaurant’s corporate growth.
Ryan’s plan was to have three Smashburger locations in Atlanta by the end of 2010 and 30 stores across metro Atlanta within three to five years, the report says.
“We’ve mapped the market and we’re in the process of delivering some letters of intent,” he said.
Smashburger is a fast-casual concept that offers hamburgers, fries, shakes, salads, chicken sandwiches, beer and wine.
Atlanta’s second Smashburger will be located on Windward Parkway.
