It breaks my heart to see Guthrie's go, not because of the great chicken but because of the dedication this establishment has shown the Dunwoody community. It was partially owned and operated by a friend of mine who has lived in the community her whole life and she gladly gave back by sponsoring many sports teams and schools with Peachtree Middle being her favorite.
Inside sources say that Starbucks has the first right of
refusal on the space. While they already have an inline location within
the center, the freestanding location would provide them the
opportunity to offer drive-thru service. Earlier this year, Starbucks
announced that 60 percent of the 1,500 new stateside locations planned
to open through the next five years will have drive-thru windows. This
"new" location would obviously be in line with that goal and allow for
the coffee house to capitalize on a previously untapped opportunity in
the center.
