Several new businesses, including a health food restaurant, a combined breakfast and tapas bar, and a global lifestyle brand, are slated to open locations at Atlantic Station in Atlanta, Georgia in 2026. The development has also seen some recent closures of major retailers.

Why it matters

Atlantic Station is a major mixed-use development in the heart of Atlanta, drawing both residents and visitors. The arrival of new businesses signals continued investment and growth in the area, while the recent closures highlight the challenges facing brick-and-mortar retail.

The details

Playa Bowls will open its 14th Georgia location this summer near the Atlantic Green, offering acai bowls and other health-focused menu items. Gocha's All Day will combine restaurateur Gocha Hawkins' Gocha's Breakfast Bar and Gocha's Tapas Bar into one location on the Atlantic Green, serving chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, and tapas. Atlantic Station's artists-in-residence, Artsy Elaine and Sway Jones, will open a new art gallery near the Twelve Hotel. MINISO, a global lifestyle brand, has also opened a new store across from the Atlanta United and Falcons team store.
