The city may be currently experiencing a real estate boom, and the amount of Atlanta restaurants for sale is a good indication of the health of the market. Restaurants are a risky investment for many entrepreneurs, but you can win big if the stars align.
There are nearly 80 restaurants per 100,000 Americans, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That means annual restaurant sales equal about $700 per person. In destination cities, that number can be easily four times that.
As Atlanta’s restaurant scene continues to mature, you can expect to see more eateries on this corner and the next. You’ll also see more Atlanta restaurants for sale. Ready to dive in? Check these food establishments out.

Atlanta’s Chicago-style pizza wars are heating back up in a big way. As we told you, Gino’s East recently opened its first Georgia location. The pizza restaurant’s entry into metro Atlanta has been highly anticipated for a number of months.
Gino’s East is located in Midtown Atlanta’s Ponce-Highland section in the base of the 675 N. Highland building and will seat 80 guests. Parking will be free in the 675 N. Highland parking garage.
Gino’s East pizza opens in Midtown Atlanta
Atlantans can expect Gino’s East’s signature golden-crust Chicago-style pies with all the fixings: appetizers, salads, sandwiches. The new #DeepAF pizzas will come with more dough, extra cheese, and double the toppings.
“We couldn’t be more excited to finally announce our ATL opening the first week of December, it’s like an early Christmas present for the Chicago transplants,” Maggie Keeler, marketing director, said in a written statement. “Our Atlanta location will offer a true deep dish experience with a southern twist! I hope the ATL is ready to get #DeepAF.”
Gino’s East comes to Atlanta: Service hours
During the opening week, casual dining service will begin Friday – Saturday from 4 p.m. – 11 p.m. and Sunday – Thursday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. serving dinner only, aiming to add delivery and carry out by the end of December. Gino’s East Atlanta will be closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and will be open New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
When it comes to restaurants, Atlanta is quickly gaining ground on some of the dining capitals around the United States.
Fast-casual is the dining trend du jour around metro Atlanta restaurants. The concept involves mixing the quick accessibility of fast food with the casual dining experience. Food in Atlanta is also adapting to the various tastes of the migrants that come here to live.

The craze hasn’t escaped metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene, which has seen a fast-caz explosion in recent years.

In what is believed to be a first for Georgia, Atlanta Public Schools is going to let girls play flag football in middle school. The girls’ sport will commence in 2019, APS said.
The move would make APS a pioneer in girls’ football, as only a handful of school districts around the nation offer the sport. All 13 of the school district’s middle schools will have a team next fall, APS said in a news release.
“Atlanta Public Schools is excited to partner with USA Football, ESPN and the Atlanta Falcons to be one of the first school districts in the country to provide another outstanding athletic opportunity through flag football for our middle school girls,” said APS Superintendent Dr. Meria Carstarphen said in a written statement. “I can’t wait to have my first workout with one of our teams!”
“Atlanta Public Schools’ forward thinking will foster increased participation opportunities and positive experiences for a new group of student-athletes, setting a great example for school districts nationwide,” said USA Football CEO Scott Hallenbeck.
APS has the support of local and national sports luminaries in offering girls flag football.
“The Falcons have long appreciated the fan support of girls across our region – now it’s our turn to root for them,” said Vice President, Community Relations, AMBSE Chris Millman was quoted as saying. “We’re happy to support Atlanta Public Schools as the district builds its middle school girls flag program. This continues an exciting trend of girls flag across the greater Atlantaarea and we’re proud to ensure these programs have the budget assistance they need for the good of their student-athletes.”
