The landmark Norcross Station Café’ has lost a bid to renew their lease for the historic 100-year old train depot located at the center of town. As required by Georgia law, Norcross opened the lease up for sealed bid at the end of December. Two sealed bids were submitted with Norcross Station Café’ owner Ken Weatherford’s bid coming in at $3,000/month ($1,000/month less than the current lease). The second, and winning bid of $7,553/month was made by Luis Fernandez, the owner of Mojito’s, a Cuban restaurant currently just across the street.

“The 100-year old depot is an important and valued part of our community history and for the past 20 years, the Norcross Station Café has helped with downtown’s revitalization,” said Mayor Bucky Johnson. “We expect the new tenants will continue that tradition of being a great place for people to meet and enjoy a good meal. We wish both parties the very best.”
