A delegation of business leaders and government representatives recently led a week-long economic development tour to South Korea with plans to ignite international investment in Fulton County.
Develop Fulton, a major collaborator behind the overseas initiative, aims to position the county, particularly South Fulton, as the epicenter of unlocked business expansion opportunities in the United States.
Aside from South Fulton, Georgia as a whole has become known as a premier location in the nation for business and economic development.
“Fulton County is the nucleus of smart growth that represents an area uniquely positioned to attract major attention for future business development opportunities,” said Georgia State Senator and Develop Fulton Chairman Brandon Beach. “This mission-driven trip to Korea taps into growing and emerging industries poised to call Fulton County home.”
During the multi-city business development trip from April 20-27, the Fulton delegation engaged in a series of insightful meetings and tours with elected officials and leading business executives across various industries, including logistics, artificial intelligence, biomedical, advanced manufacturing, electric vehicles, and robotics. With a goal to foster strong relationships and showcase the county as a hub for strong business prospects, leaders emphasized Fulton’s strategic positioning, diverse industry landscape, skilled workforce, and exceptional quality of life.
“As ambassadors and economic development evangelists for Fulton County, we remain laser-focused on leveraging every opportunity to highlight the countless ways Fulton remains the gateway for growth in our region,” said Kwanza Hall, Develop Fulton Vice Chairman. “We’re putting a special focus on highlighting the untapped opportunities that abound in South Fulton. By establishing, building, and nurturing these global business relationships, our hope is for these efforts to yield transformative and historic investments across our county and unlock limitless business opportunities.”
Championed by Fulton County Chairman Robb Pitts, the delegation also included College Park City Councilman Joseph Carn, East Point City Councilman Joshua Butler, and Director of Economic Development for the City of Fairburn Sylvia Abernathy. Pitts shared that the trip to Korea marked an opportunity to forge global connections and explore new possibilities, with the goal of collaboratively shaping a prosperous future for Fulton County.
“Fulton County is the catalyst for growth and economic prosperity across this region and the state of Georgia, and it is incumbent upon us to seek new business prospects, domestically and internationally,” said Pitts. “We must remain intentional in our efforts to build on the undeniable momentum that has attracted major corporations and industries to Fulton County. The signing of our joint MOU marks a milestone in this international business effort.”

The Red Lobster restaurant chain has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the company announced on Sunday, May 19, 2024.
The restaurant intends to use the bankruptcy not to close down for good, but rather, to drive operational improvements, simplify the business through a reduction in locations, and pursue a sale of substantially all of its assets as a going concern, according to a press release.
The filing, done with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, essentially means that Red Lobster will sell its business to an entity formed and controlled by its existing term lenders.
Will Reb Lobster Restaurants Close Down?
Red Lobster’s restaurants will remain open and operating as usual during the Chapter 11 process. The Company has been working with vendors to ensure that operations are unaffected and has received a $100 million debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing commitment from its existing lenders.
With that said, some Red Lobsters have shuttered around Atlanta as of late. Read our list of Red Lobster closures.
“This restructuring is the best path forward for Red Lobster. It allows us to address several financial and operational challenges and emerge stronger and re-focused on our growth,” Jonathan Tibus, the Company’s CEO, said in a statement. “The support we’ve received from our lenders and vendors will help ensure that we can complete the sale process quickly and efficiently while remaining focused on our employees and guests.”

With the recent announcement that Chili’s is closing down in several U.S. cities, it stands to reason that there may be some trepidation among Atlanta foodies as to whether the popular restaurant will remain open in the metro area.
If you recall, some local Chili’s restaurants have already closed their doors around Atlanta.
- In 2019, the Chili’s at Lindbergh at 2440 Piedmont Rd in Buckhead closed for good.
- In June 2023, the Chili’s at 3625 Dallas Highway in West Cobb shut down.
- In August 2023, Chili’s at 4784 Ashford Dunwoody Road closed its doors.
Will Chili’s In Atlanta Remain Open?
It’s too early to tell whether any other Chili’s locations in Atlanta will close permanently, but with the recent reductions in business, it makes sense that more closures are on the way. Red Lobster is also closing some Atlanta-area locations.
With nearly 50 locations, Chili’s had its largest presence in Atlanta just two years ago.
Where Is Chili’s Bar & Grill Located in Atlanta?
As of now, there are a handful of Chili’s restaurants in Atlanta.
- Toco Hills: 2133 Lavista Rd. Northeast, Atlanta, GA

What To Know Before You Order Your Steak In Atlanta
Before you order your porterhouse or strip steak in Atlanta, you should know some things about it. Here are some facts about steaks that you probably didn’t know.
- The best steaks are USDA prime steaks. USDA prime steak is the highest grade of meat sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
- Ask Them if they freeze their steaks: The choicest cuts of meat should be fresh, never frozen. This creates a tenderness that you’ll love and savor with each bite.
- Ask them if they ‘age’ their steaks: The best quality steaks are wet-aged (sealed in a vacumm-tight bag for weeks) or dry-aged (stored in air-controlled coolers for weeks) for texture and flavor solvency.

Who doesn’t enjoy a nice, well-cooked steak? Thankfully, Atlanta restaurants have some great options.
A nice steak is one of the most tasty, juicy and satisfying meals you can enjoy. Thankfully, Atlanta’s restaurants have plenty of steaks on the menu.
What ever steakhouse you choose to dine at, remember to tip your waiter generously. They’ve had a hard time in the COVID pandemic.
Atlanta has one of the best restaurant scenes in the Southeast, and with state of Southern cooking and an emphasis on the culinary arts at an all-time high, that’s saying something.
When Atlanta’s food is mentioned on a national level, it somehow always reverts back to sweet tea and fried chicken, although the city’s eateries certainly represent those dishes well, there’s so much more.
European-inspired restaurants, Mediterranean fare and Asian fusion all can be found in a 2-mile area of Midtown Atlanta, if we’re being honest. Venture up north a bit into Buckhead and you’ll have some of the best steakhouses as well as fast-casual spots in the city.
