Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville could be headed to downtown Atlanta
You could soon be wasting away again in Margaritaville -- in downtown Atlanta.
The Atlanta Business Chronicle reports that the chain -- which features a laid-back vibe in menu in keeping with musician and Margaritaville partner Jimmy Buffett's lyrics -- has been working with the owners of Skyview Atlanta, the Ferris wheel across from Centennial Olympic Park , to bring the restaurant to the area around the park. The restaurant is eyeing a summer 2017 opening, though its not a done deal -- the design will need to go before city officials for planning and permitting.
There are more than 30 Margaritaville restaurants around the world. Cheeseburger in Paradise, a Buffett-associated restaurant, closed at Perimeter Place in Dunwoody in 2012.
