Decatur Brought Up in Natural Grocery Store Buzz

Decatur Metro | April 2, 2013

You may recall our mention of the Atlanta Business Chronicle article from a couple of weeks back that reported on Sprouts Farmer’s Markets coming to Atlanta soon.

Well Carl points out that another recent ABC article (mostly behind a paywall) that notes that Earth Fare out of North Carolina is also scouting out the Atlanta market and looking for locations.  And this time Decatur is mentioned specifically.  Not by the company, but by a local commercial real estate broker, Amy Fingerhut.

Decatur is also ripe for more grocery options, Fingerhut said.

The article goes on to posit that the coming mixed-use development of the Callaway Building site is one potential option.
