Publix has thinned its metro Atlanta footprint, with two local stores among a small group of Southeast locations the chain has shuttered.
The employee-owned grocer, headquartered in Lakeland, Florida, continues to close stores in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. In the Atlanta area, the affected sites are 1380 Atlantic Drive NW in Atlanta and 2562 Shallowford Road NE in Chamblee, which both closed last year.
Publix Closing Multiple Stores
The store closures were part of the company’s routine practice of replacing older supermarkets and dropping locations that miss performance targets.
Some of the Florida and South Carolina closings are planned rebuilds; Publix has not announced replacement timelines for the West Palm Beach or Palm Bay stores.
The local cuts come as Publix reports only modest growth. In its latest results, the company cited softer consumer spending and lower Medicare reimbursement rates tied to the Inflation Reduction Act. Retail analyst Scott Mushkin of R5 Capital has also pointed to GLP-1 drugs such as Ozempic, arguing that the medications are leading some shoppers to buy less food.
Publix itself has framed store openings, remodels, and closures as ordinary portfolio management rather than a broad retreat. It still runs well over 1,400 stores across eight Southeastern states, with Georgia its second-largest market after Florida.
Even as those two metro stores have gone dark, Publix is opening elsewhere this month, including sites in Alabama, Kentucky, Florida, and North Carolina. For Atlanta shoppers, the immediate hit is the loss of the Atlantic Drive and Shallowford Road locations, and of the Pub Subs and deli counters that have built a following well beyond the usual grocery run.

AtlantaEstranged Wife of Georgia Native, NFL Player Tyreek Hill Levies Explosive Allegations in Abuse Trial
October 7, 2026
4 Min ReadIn a clip from ongoing civil proceedings that spread quickly on social media Wednesday, Keeta Vaccaro told a Florida courtroom under cross-examination that police officers repeatedly lied or minimized incidents to protect her estranged husband, NFL wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
The exchange, captured by Law & Crime trial coverage and posted by accounts circulating the hearing, centers on an alleged January 2024 confrontation. Vaccaro had testified that Hill forcefully shoved an unlit blunt or cigar into her mouth.
Tyreek Hill‘s Estranged Wife Levies Explosive Allegations in Abuse Trial
Defense counsel walked through the police response: officers noted no broken or swollen lip, no scratches or redness matching her account, and observed only a pre-existing pimple.
When pressed on the discrepancy, Vaccaro said the officers “are never writing exactly what’s happening” and “want to make sure they’re protecting Tyreek.” She added that it had been “like that every single time,” that the responding officers (described in questioning as five or six at an Orlando-area hotel) were fans who “definitely wanted to cover it up,” and that she was sometimes scared to tell police everything because the couple still hoped to salvage the marriage through therapy.
She also stated that officers asked whether she wanted Hill arrested and indicated they would do so if she said yes, but that she declined.
The attorney contrasted that recollection with standard probable-cause requirements and with written reports finding no visible injury and no basis for arrest. Similar points appear in contemporaneous reporting on the January 30, 2024, call, in which Hill told officers he had only “flicked” a cigar that never struck her, and responding officers recorded no marks or the cigar itself.
The testimony is part of a civil assault-and-battery claim folded into the couple’s divorce case in Miami-Dade. Vaccaro, sister of former NFL safety Kenny Vaccaro, alleges a pattern of physical and verbal abuse beginning around a disputed postnuptial agreement in January 2024 and continuing through her pregnancy.
Among the claims reported from her direct testimony: Hill placed hands on her neck, twisted her breasts, wrestled her, pulled hair hard enough to remove strands, attempted to strike her pregnant abdomen (which she said she blocked with her hands) while saying he did not want the child, spit at her late in pregnancy, and, in an April 2025 incident at their Sunny Isles Beach condominium, became physical near their infant.
A nanny-cam recording from that April episode has been played in court; transcripts and descriptions circulated beforehand include Hill using profanity, saying police do not scare him, and references to throwing her. Police who responded that day wrote that the argument never became physical. Vaccaro filed for divorce the next day. No criminal charges resulted from the calls she described.
Hill has denied the abuse allegations. His lawyers have characterized the suit as financially motivated and have used cross-examination to highlight timeline inconsistencies, Vaccaro’s decisions not to pursue charges at the time, and police documentation that found insufficient evidence of injury. Cross-examination continued into Wednesday. Hill, a free agent after a serious knee injury ended his 2025 season with the Dolphins, has been the subject of an NFL personal-conduct review tied to the allegations. A day before testimony began, his agent indicated he could sign with a team soon.
The case also sits against Hill’s earlier legal history. In 2014 he pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery by strangulation in an Oklahoma matter involving a previous partner and completed probation. Those events contributed to his dismissal from Oklahoma State before he entered the NFL.
The courtroom video does not resolve the underlying factual disputes. It shows Vaccaro maintaining that official reports systematically understated what occurred because of Hill’s celebrity, while the defense treats the same reports, the absence of documented injuries, and her contemporaneous choices not to seek arrest as contradictions of her current account. The civil trial remains underway.

The City of South Fulton has opened an upgraded, more inclusive playground at Creel Park, giving families a new outdoor space designed so children of different abilities can play together.
”I love it,” said Sandy Sprull, who lives an adjacent neighborhood. “I can get my walk on and enjoy beautiful scenery at the same time.”
Creel Park Gets Major Upgrade in South Fulton
That’s kind of the idea. City officials marked the completion of improvements to the 3,689-square-foot playground with a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week. The work, done in partnership with Playworx, added features intended to meet Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines and broaden who can use the site.
“This playground represents an investment in our children, our families, and the quality of life in our community,” Mayor Carmalitha Gumbs said. “We appreciate the partnership with Playworx for helping to build a new playground that welcomes children of all abilities.”
The upgrades include overhead shades, music and sensory activity panels, elevated decks and wide ramps, and cooling, durable green turf.
District 6 Councilwoman Natasha Williams-Brown said Creel Park is an important gathering place for local families. “I look forward to seeing our kids explore this fresh, new and safe space to play,” she said.
City Council members, Playworx representatives, city leaders, and community partners attended the ceremony.
The project was paid for with a Community Development Block Grant, federal funding administered through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for local community development, infrastructure, housing rehabilitation, and public services.
City officials described the playground as part of a broader effort to make South Fulton’s parks and public spaces safer, more welcoming, and more accessible for residents of all ages.

The Atlanta Falcons crashed New Orleans’ anniversary party Monday night, turning a Superdome celebration into a statement win. Bijan Robinson’s 59-yard touchdown run on Atlanta’s third play set the tone, and the Falcons never trailed in a 45-24 rout of the Saints on Monday Night Football.
Falcons Blow Out Saints in New Orleans
The game marked the 20th anniversary of the “Domecoming,” the Saints’ emotional 2006 return to the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina. That night began with Steve Gleason’s famous punt block and a wire-to-wire Saints win over these same Falcons.
Two decades later, the script flipped immediately. Robinson burst untouched for the score, hit 21.78 mph—the fastest speed by an offensive ball-carrier this season, per Next Gen Stats—and silenced a crowd still settling in. Atlanta led 14-0 after one quarter and 24-7 at halftime.
Robinson finished with 19 carries for 145 yards and two touchdowns. The long score was his third rushing touchdown of 50-plus yards on Monday Night Football, tying Emmitt Smith for the most in league history. It was also his fourth straight MNF game with at least 125 rushing yards, matching the longest such streaks by Smith and Eric Dickerson. Brian Robinson Jr. supplied the finishing power, scoring on runs of 4, 8, and 11 yards.
Together the Robinsons produced five rushing touchdowns and more than 200 yards on the ground. The Falcons outgained New Orleans on the ground roughly 205 to 50 and controlled the line of scrimmage even after losing left tackle Jake Matthews early in his 200th career start.
Michael Penix Jr., back from a major 2025 knee injury and coming off a 35-14 win at Green Bay, was efficient rather than flashy: 15 of 20 for 223 yards and a 31-yard touchdown to Jahan Dotson that pushed the lead to 38-17 and sent fans toward the exits.
Drake London added five catches for 96 yards. Atlanta answered every Saints push. When Alvin Kamara’s second touchdown of the night—his first two of the season—cut the margin to 31-17 early in the fourth, Penix and Dotson answered within five plays.
New Orleans (1-3) never recovered from a sluggish start. Its first three drives produced a three-and-out, a missed field goal, and a one-snap possession ended by a Kendre Miller fumble. Tyler Shough completed 30 of 48 passes for about 288 yards and a late touchdown to Devaughn Vele, and Chris Olave caught eight passes for 114 yards, but the Saints managed only 50 rushing yards.
Second-year coach Kellen Moore called the result frustrating and disappointing. The 45 points allowed were the most New Orleans has surrendered to Atlanta since a 45-32 loss on the 10-year Domecoming anniversary in 2016, and the five rushing touchdowns were the most the Saints had given up in a game since 2012.
The Falcons improved to 2-2 and stayed even in the NFC South race. They have now won consecutive prime-time games and moved to 10-1 on Monday Night Football since 2015. For a rivalry defined by the 2006 Superdome return, Monday’s result was a clear reminder that the current edge belongs to Atlanta’s ground game.

Quavo used a sit-down with Yung Miami to push back on years of gossip about why Migos stopped functioning as a trio. In a conversation tied to his new album QRÖMELIFE, he said the group never had the kind of clean, dramatic breakup the internet assumed.
What happened, he argued, was simpler and more ordinary: two brothers stepping away from each other to work on solo careers, with the intention of coming back together later. Takeoff’s death in November 2022 changed the timeline and the emotional math.
Quavo Speaks Out on Saweetie, Offset Situation
In the interview, Quavo tells Yung Miami that the rumors around the split were not true—including the long-running story that Offset’s alleged involvement with Saweetie was the real cause.
Quavo framed it as two brothers taking space so they could grow individually. He and Takeoff had already begun working as the duo Unc & Phew and released Only Built For Infinity Links in 2022. Offset had gone solo. The plan, Quavo said, was always to reconvene. Tragedy interrupted that plan.
He also described Takeoff as the glue. The bond was especially close because Takeoff was his nephew, not just a groupmate. In Quavo’s telling, Takeoff’s presence kept the three of them aligned even when personalities and business interests pulled in different directions. After the shooting in Houston, that center was gone.
Quavo has said in other recent interviews that the loss “eased” some of the friction with Offset by putting smaller grievances in perspective. The two have since been seen together again, including at a QRÖMELIFE listening event where they previewed a new collaboration, “Away”—their first song together in years.
Quavo also explained a decision that will surprise some fans: Takeoff does not appear on QRÖMELIFE. He said he held those verses back on purpose. There is a dedicated Takeoff project in the works, and a final Migos album that will use previously recorded vocals. Putting Takeoff on this particular solo record, he suggested, would have mixed two different chapters.
He wanted QRÖMELIFE—executive produced by Pharrell Williams and due October 2—to stand as its own phase: grief processed, a relationship with Offset being rebuilt in public, and a new personal chapter that now includes fatherhood.
The Saweetie rumor has followed the group for years. It intensified after Quavo and Saweetie split in 2021 and after Quavo’s 2022 record “Messy,” which many listeners read as a reference to the situation. Offset has denied it, calling the story “cap” and saying the real issues with Quavo were deeper and more personal than a woman.
Quavo’s comments to Yung Miami line up with that version of events, at least on the surface: he presented the time apart as a career and family decision, not a betrayal plot. Not everyone is buying it. One reply to the clip accused Quavo of rewriting history and pointed to older comments from Cardi B and the fact that a new Migos-related project is already being discussed. Gossip like this rarely dies cleanly in hip-hop.
What is clearer is the shape of the next year. Quavo is finishing a Pharrell-helmed solo album that includes Offset, Yung Miami, Future, Tyler, the Creator, A$AP Rocky, Lil Baby, T.I., and Justin Timberlake. After that, he and Offset have talked about one last Migos album and a tour built around honoring Takeoff rather than pretending the original three-man chemistry can be cloned. Quavo has said the fans are still owed the music that already exists, and that Takeoff would not have wanted it locked away.
The Yung Miami conversation is not a full confession or a complete settlement of old scores. It is Quavo, two days before a new album, trying to control the narrative of a group that defined a stretch of 2010s rap and then fractured under the usual pressures—ego, business, timing—plus one irreversible loss. Whether listeners accept his version will depend on how much they still want a tidy villain. Quavo’s version is messier and more ordinary: family, time apart, a plan that never got to finish, and a nephew who held more of it together than people realized until he was gone.

OutKast and Waffle House have made it official. After two days of yellow-sign teases and lyric breadcrumbs, the duo confirmed that OutKast x Waffle House drops this Friday, October 2, at 10 a.m. EST on outkast.com.
The official line is already doing the work of a press release and a punchline at once: Excelling in harmonious melody, boy we got the recipe.
- OutKast x Waffle House: What To Know
That is the sound of two Atlanta institutions meeting in the middle of a hashbrown plate.
How the tease cooked
On September 29, OutKast’s official account posted a photo of a Waffle House marquee dated 10/2/2026, with the board reading “GATOR BELTS AND PATTY MELTS.” The waffle and alien emojis did the rest.
The line is not random branding. It is lifted from Big Boi’s opening stretch on “So Fresh, So Clean, the Stankonia single that has lived in Atlanta nightlife, car speakers, and late-night diner booths for a quarter century. Waffle House’s own account quoted the post with a single emoji: 👀. That was all the confirmation the city needed.
A day later, OutKast stopped teasing and named the drop: a collaboration going live on the group’s official site, not a mystery in-store event and not a promised reunion concert.
What we know — and what we don’t
As of Wednesday evening, neither side has published a full product list. Because the drop is hosted on outkast.com, the existing official merch store, the safest read is a limited capsule: apparel, accessories, and possibly diner-coded graphics built around the “recipe,” the aliens, and that Stankonia diner language. Fans in the replies are already treating it like a merch drop, with the usual mix of “I’ll take two of everything” and “we wanted new songs.”
What has not been confirmed:
- a nationwide menu item
- a one-night pop-up inside actual Waffle House locations
- new music
- André 3000 and Big Boi appearing together in stores
Until Friday morning, those remain rumors riding the same plate as the official announcement.
Why this pairing hits harder than a normal brand deal
Waffle House is not a random fast-casual partner for OutKast. It is part of the city’s after-hours grammar: 24-hour lights, scattered-smothered-covered hashbrowns, and the place you end up when the club closes. Hip-hop has name-checked it for years. OutKast themselves are part of that folklore. In June 2015, André 3000 and Big Boi landed at an Atlanta Waffle House after a Birthday Bash night that also included Kanye West — a photo that still circulates every time somebody needs proof that the A’s high culture and diner culture share a booth.
The new campaign leans all the way into that overlap. The first image used the chain’s own sign language. The second caption borrowed the group’s own swagger. The launch window — a Friday morning, not a midnight music drop — feels like breakfast service on purpose.
It also fits a recent pattern of OutKast-adjacent Atlanta food and lifestyle projects, from coffee collaborations tied to Stankonia to Big Boi’s earlier waffle-mix work. This one is bigger because Waffle House is the mass-market version of the same idea: local, late-night, unpretentious, and instantly recognizable.
What Friday will actually feel like
Expect the site to open at 10 a.m. Eastern and move fast if the capsule is limited. The first teaser already did numbers; the confirmation video and caption have continued to spread through Atlanta accounts calling it “the most Atlanta thing” in recent memory.
For fans, the assignment is simple:
- Be on outkast.com at 10 a.m. EST Friday.
- Assume sizes and colorways will not linger.
- Do not confuse this drop with a tour announcement. It is a collab with a diner chain that OutKast just treated like a co-headliner.
If the product design matches the tease — gator belts, patty melts, yellow signage, alien hats over waffle irons — it will sell because it already sounds like a song people know by heart.
The larger point
OutKast does not need Waffle House to stay canonical. Waffle House does not need OutKast to stay open at 3 a.m. The reason this works is that both already belong to the same city myth: expensive taste and everyday plates, spaceships and breakfast shifts, Stankonia and the grill.
Friday morning is when the recipe goes public. Until then, the marquee is still up.

The Georgia Bulldogs are widely viewed as the best team in college football, thanks to their hot start.
Coming off a 12-2 campaign in 2025 that included a second straight SEC championship (a 28-7 win over Alabama) and a College Football Playoff appearance that ended in a Sugar Bowl loss to Ole Miss, Georgia returns quarterback Gunner Stockton and looks to contend again for a national title.
Smart’s record at Georgia stands at 117-21 with two national championships and four SEC titles.
Georgia Bulldogs 2026 Football Schedule
The 2026 slate features nine SEC games for the first time in conference history, a mix of home nights Between the Hedges, tough road environments, and a relocated World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Non-conference games include FCS Tennessee State, Western Kentucky, and the traditional season-ending rivalry with Georgia Tech. A bye week falls on Oct. 24.
2026 Georgia Football Schedule
Opponent Date Location Score Tennessee State Sat, Sept. 5 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) W 63-3 Western Kentucky Sat, Sept. 12 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) W 70-20 at Arkansas Sat, Sept. 19 Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, Fayetteville, AR W 45-17 Oklahoma Sat, Sept. 26 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) W 41-13 Vanderbilt Sat, Oct. 3 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) W 38-14 at Alabama Sat, Oct. 10 Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, AL TBD Auburn Sat, Oct. 17 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) TBD vs. Florida Sat, Oct. 31 Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, GA (Neutral) TBD at Ole Miss Sat, Nov. 7 Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, Oxford, MS TBD Missouri Sat, Nov. 14 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) TBD at South Carolina Sat, Nov. 21 Williams-Brice Stadium, Columbia, SC TBD Georgia Tech Sat, Nov. 28 Sanford Stadium, Athens, GA (Home) TBD Key Storylines and Notable Games
Kickoff times and networks for later games remain TBA or fall into announced windows (early, afternoon, night, or flex). Confirmed times include Tennessee State (3 p.m. ET, SEC Network+), Western Kentucky (12:45 p.m. ET, SEC Network), Arkansas (12 p.m. ET, ABC), and Florida (3:30 p.m. ET, ABC).0
Georgia opens at home against Tennessee State, a first-time opponent and FCS program coming off a 0-1 start. The Bulldogs are heavy favorites in a game that will introduce new offensive pieces after significant turnover at wide receiver. Stockton, an All-SEC quarterback in his second year as starter, returns along with tailbacks Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens. The defense, particularly the back seven, is viewed as a strength.
The non-conference portion stays relatively light after the opener, with Western Kentucky visiting in Week 2. SEC play begins immediately on the road at Arkansas, followed by a high-profile home game against No. 10 Oklahoma—the second meeting in the series after Georgia’s 54-48 overtime Rose Bowl win in the 2018 College Football Playoff.
Other marquee matchups include a night-window trip to Alabama (Oct. 10), the annual Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry with Auburn at home, and a rare change of venue for Florida. For the first time since 1995, the Georgia-Florida game leaves Jacksonville due to renovations at EverBank Stadium and will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Later road tests at Ole Miss and South Carolina, plus home games against Vanderbilt and No. 25 Missouri, round out a demanding conference slate. The season closes with Georgia Tech in Athens.
Georgia faces four preseason ranked opponents: Oklahoma (No. 10), Alabama (No. 13), Ole Miss (No. 9), and Missouri (No. 25). The schedule’s balance of home games (seven, including the Atlanta neutral site) and four true road contests gives the Bulldogs a path to another 10-plus-win season and CFP berth if they avoid multiple losses in the gauntlet of SEC play.
Week 1 – Georgia 63, Tennessee State 3
AI Overview The No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs opened their 2026 college football season with a dominant 63-3 blowout win over the Tennessee State Tigers on September 5, 2026, at Sanford Stadium.
Week 2 — Georgia 70, Western Kentucky 20
No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs routed the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers 70-20 on September 12, 2026, at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia. Georgia jumped out to a 49-0 lead by halftime, matching the most productive half in program history.
Week 3 – Georgia 45, Arkansas 17
On September 19, 2026, the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks 45-17 at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The game served as the SEC opener for both programs, allowing Georgia to advance to 3-0 while Arkansas fell to 1-2
Week 4 – Georgia 41, Oklahoma 13
AI Overview The No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 41-13 on September 26, 2026, at Sanford Stadium in Athens, improving to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in SEC play.
Georgia’s defense forced four crucial turnovers, turning mistakes into 17 points through the first three quarters. • The Chris Cole Show: Linebacker Chris Cole returned a fumble 85 yards for a touchdown and recovered a second fumble in a stellar defensive performance.
Hot Start by Stockton: Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton completed his first nine passes, finishing 14-of-25 for 171 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown pass to Talyn Taylor.
Expectations remain high in Athens. With Stockton leading the offense, an experienced defense, and Smart’s consistent program building, Georgia is positioned as a top national contender once again.
Results will fill in starting today as the Bulldogs take the field against Tennessee State.

Here’s what the single mother of four did to become success, according to Instagram. “How did I do it? With dedication and sacrifice….Opening my footwear store @shoparienicolefootwear in Atlanta was both exciting and scary at the same time but I knew that this was my beginning. I packed all that excitement and fear into one cup and added some sacrifice, persistence amongst many other things and turned my little small footwear boutique into a very lucrative small business. I’m thankful and grateful for every lesson and every dollar along the way. I know there’s more to come.”
