[CLOSURE ALERT] Pollo Tropical Shutters Four More Metro Locations
Fiesta Restaurant Group Inc., the Dallas, Texas-based owner of the Pollo Tropical restaurant chain, quietly closed four more Atlanta area locations December 4. The four locations were on Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway in Hiram, Cobb Parkway South in Marietta, Bullsboro Drive in Newnan and Dawsonville Highway in Gainesville.
All four locations opened last year: Hiram on May 7, Marietta on June 11, Gainesville on July 30 and Newnan on August 13.
This past April, Pollo Tropical closed 30 locations, primarily in Tennessee and Texas, but also three in Georgia. The three Georgia locations were in Alpharetta, Cumming and Johns Creek. The Johns Creek location is expected to reopen next Thursday, December 21 as an Arby's. The Alpharetta and Cumming locations are reportedly still vacant. A Pollo Tropical restaurant on Johnson Ferry in East Cobb that closed last fall is expected to be demolished and rebuilt as a Regions Bank.
Following the most recent closures, Pollo Tropical continues to operate nine locations in Georgia in McDonough, Smyrna, Tucker, Austell, Snellville, Lawrenceville, Woodstock, Buford and Kennesaw.
Are you surprised that Pollo Tropical is closing so many locations? What restaurant or other business would you like to see open in place of the recently shuttered Atlanta area locations? What is your favorite quick-serve chicken chain?
