Krystal plans to demolish and then rebuild their Buckhead restaurant at 3037 Piedmont Road. The existing restaurant, built in 1999, is about 2,000 square feet and sits on about six tenths of an acre. Krystal, which owns the property, plans to construct a new, slightly smaller restaurant measuring about 1,800 square feet that will sport the brand's latest, more modern "clocktower" design.

| The new Buckhead Krystal should look like this |
The first Krystal to debut the new look was a rebuilt location on Cobb Parkway in Marietta that reopened last April after an extensive "remolding."
ToNeTo Atlanta reached out to Krystal corporate for comment on the planned rebuild. We were told that the company had selected a few hundred locations for rebuild, among them, the Buckhead location. Despite active plans on file with Livable Buckhead, the Krystal representative was unable to provide any details or expected timeline for the Buckhead rebuild.
Plans submitted to Livable Buckhead indicate that the restaurant plans a "reduction of parking from 22 to 20 spaces" and also a "shift of building footprint to facilitate traffic flow and deliveries."
The current Piedmont restaurant operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the replacement restaurant would likely do so as well.
Krystal, which began in Chattanooga in 1932, moved its headquarters to Dunwoody in 2013.
