It’s another burger fast food chain you’ve probably never heard of: Cookout.
The Zesto Drive-In restaurant at 544 Ponce de Leon Avenue announced over the weekend it will close its doors Sept. 20 after 60 years in business.
Tuesday, the privately owned fast food restaurant chain Cookout, submitted a building permit application to City of Atlanta to make commercial alterations to the iconic dive-in on Ponce, and open in Zesto’s place.
The scope of work mostly calls for interior renovations including a new layout, walls, doors, electrical systems, lighting, plumbing, mechanical, chicken equipment, flooring, ceiling finishes, and paint. The exterior, however, “will remain the same,” according to the application.
The North Carolina-based chain that serves grilled hamburgers and hotdogs, chicken sandwiches, “North Carolina barbecue,” and milkshakes, is expected to spend an estimated $85,000 in upgrades.
