In the Atlanta Braves’ continued efforts to grow its development adjacent to SunTrust Park, the organization recently announced that it is welcoming eight new culinary, retail and entertainment concepts to the lineup at The Battery Atlanta.
With partner Fuqua Development, the Braves have received commitments from the following companies, which are scheduled to open next spring:
- Wahlburgers, a fast-growing, chef-driven burger concept from the Wahlberg brothers of TV and movie fame
- Kings Bowl, an upscale, retro bowling and entertainment destination
- Live!, an iconic dining/entertainment destination developed by The Cordish Companies and designed by Jeffrey Beers International
- Goldbergs Bagel Company & Deli, an Atlanta favorite for bagels and sandwiches\
- Mountain High Outfitters, an outdoor specialty store
- Sugarboo Designs, an artsy boutique with household items and gifts
- DressUp, a women’s fashion boutique
- Harley-Davidson, with a retail-only store
“This blend of retailers and restaurants will help us create the 24-7, 365-day-a-year environment we’re aiming for at The Battery Atlanta,” said Derek Schiller, Braves president of business in a press release. “We’re very excited to have a bunch of firsts for this market, including Wahlburgers and Kings Bowl. Additionally, The Cordish Companies have been an industry leader in creating vibrant spaces that have set a new standard for entertainment in partnership with professional sports venues.”
Fuqua Development Principal Jeff Fuqua added that the “impressive” list of businesses shows that The Battery Atlanta is already a magnet for top-notch local and national retailers, entertainment uses and restaurants. “And there is more to come,” he said. “We expect to make great announcements soon as we work with the Braves to enrich the mix of businesses featured at The Battery Atlanta.”
Restaurants that were announced last year include Antico Pizza, CRÚ Food and Wine Bar, Tomahawk Taproom featuring Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q, El Felix from Chef Ford Fry and a steak house concept by Chef Linton Hopkins. The Coca-Cola Roxy Theatre, a music venue, and the Omni Hotel, also will open at the Braves’ mixed-use development at SunTrust Park, as well as being home to One Ballpark Center, Comcast’s regional office headquarters housing the cutting-edge Innovation Lab.
