Business Closings

The Newnan Times-Herald is reporting that TGI Friday's and Chili's have closed in Newnan.  The nearest TGI Friday's to Newnan is in Douglasville.  However, in recent weeks, four new restaurants have opened (or will open within the next week or so) in Newnan.

Goody's filed for bankrupcy recently and announced they're closing stores in Austell, Hiram, Kennesaw, and Newnan, as well as several other stores in GA.  The Douglasville location has been spared...for now.

Starbucks announced yesterday they are closing 600 locations.  Douglasville has two locations.  The stores they are closing are currently underperforming.  It seems like the the location on Chapel Hill might be the busier location of the two.  The CEO of Starbucks said in a press release that each of the 7,200 locations will know by mid-July as to whether their location will be closing.

If anyone knows of any other business that is closing (or opening), you may post a reply here.
