The Collierville Planning Commission has approved a new mixed-use condominium development that will replace the former location of Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken in the town's Historic District. The project, proposed by developers David McLemore and Bart Thomas, will feature one- to two-bedroom condos that could sell for around $400,000.
Why it matters
The new condos are seen as aligning with the town's Downtown Small Area Plan, which aims to bring more residents to live near the Town Square in order to drive foot traffic to local restaurants and shops. The closure of the Gus's Fried Chicken location in 2022 left a vacancy in the Historic District that this new development will fill.
The details
The project, presented on behalf of the developers by John McCarty, was endorsed by the Collierville Planning Commission. The new mixed-use condominiums will take the spot formerly occupied by the Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken restaurant, which closed in 2022 after a new location opened in nearby Germantown.
- Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken closed its Collierville location in 2022.
- The Collierville Planning Commission approved the new mixed-use condominium development on Thursday, February 6, 2026.
