Twist ‘n Scoot Closing Decatur Store, Consolidating with Flagship Atlanta Location
Decatur Metro | August 25, 2014 | 9:50 am
Twist ‘n Scoot sent out a message to its patrons this morning announcing that they are closing the Decatur location along West Ponce de Leon Ave.
We’re in transition and are closing our Decatur location to consolidate with our original flagship store in Atlanta. You’ll find us now at 1835 Piedmont Ave, one mile north of Ansley Mall. And stay tuned for more exciting news to come!
The scooter store opened in Decatur back in 2008. Prior to that, the space housed a furniture store, Intaglia. What’s next for the space?

Elementary school? That’s the one thing that’s sure to have plenty of demand in Decatur!
Are you not paying attention to Decatur trends? It’s obviously going to be a Korean taco joint!
I would like that
상인 Jose’s

Dancing Goats annex.
This would be an amazing spot for an indoor playground/play space! Parents can grab coffee at Dancing Goats, then the kids can go bounce or play inside!
We already have that. It’s called Twain’s.
I hear they’re thinking of putting a playground at Trackside.
I heard inflatable oyster bar.
These are all fightin’ words!
Maybe that’s where the church can store all the toys from the playground.
A low-key Dancing Goats competitor. Like this self-serve model (I know, Decatur retail rent may not make this work!) Seriously, sometimes there’s nowhere to get a seat in a coffee shop in Decatur. I would add DIY thematic elements (whiteboards, 3D printer for hire) to engage the Decatur Makers up the road as well.

With a $7,000 /mth rent and parking concerns…none of these seem viable.
Indoor playground would require high ceilings which I doubt this has….once again you would have parking issues as well.
Not sure a restaurant would be suitable because of build-out requirements. Seems like it would be suitable for another retail
You figured out the problem at “$7000/month rent”. How many scooters did they have to move a month to stay afloat?
13 responses before any mention of “Trader Joe’s.”
Y’all are slippin’…
TJs footprint is typically 12000sf.
Souper Jenny seems to do great when we go to their monthly (now weekly?) Thursday night events.
You apparently didn’t look very closely at my response in the three slot.
Too small, not enough parking. But how about a Metro Fresh?
Speaking of take out food without parking, how is Souper Jenny doing? I’m never around when it’s open.
I’m not one of the scooterati but I will miss seeing those machines lined up in front of the shop. Small and bright, they look like candy.
