Coming soon to where old body shop/gas station is on McBee Avenue across from Suntrust building: American Roadside
They'll sell various different things. They stay afloat by selling consumer goods. Apparently there is demand for popcorn. Ever been here: http://www.garrettpopcorn.com/ I had the pleasure of visiting Garrett's in downtown Chicago last year. Puts movie theater popcorn to utter shame.
I'll have to check it out! Before I wrote that I didn't consider having snack food when visiting Fall's Park.
American Roadside will be a treat for that area that is surprisingly getting a lot of foot traffic from McBee Station to Main (though most of that may be from people parking at McBee and going to restaurants to work). It will only have four parking spots aimed at to go orders off Irvine Street. And they will have some outdoor dining. It's open until 10PM Mondays through Saturdays so that's a big plus for me. We need places staying open late especially on weekedays.

That's EXACTLY the kind of thing we need more of! Old gas stations (REALLY old ones, that is) make cool bars, cafes, etc.. Kind of Quaker Steak-ish, but just different enough... And it's downtown.... And it's in an actual old service station!
Fatz is renovating the space with a fast casual concept that'll feature local farms and regional foods, per the Fatz corporate representative that I bumped in to while visiting the Limestone Farms booth at the TD Saturday Market. Looking for local eggs for what he called, "the best brunch in town".
In other news, Tavern 24 coming to Woodruff Rd in the former Fatz Cafe space: Tavern 24
In a quick search for job listings, here's some insight:
"Now accepting applications for our new restaurant opening in Greenville, SC

hour, re-connect with family or catch the game while still receiving great

interference and order premium items from a robust menu that won’t break
the bank. We are looking hard working, engaged individuals with fun, upbeat personalities and a high level of energy to take care of our guests."
This is interesting, a locally sourced fast casual restaurant? I haven't ever eated at a Fatz but I might just have to check that out when it opens

Garrett's has been around for ages! There are others in Chicago but I don't think they are as famous or successful. Of course, the work crowd helps keep them running. I never worked close enough to it to visit but once in awhile.
