Waffle House plans to close its longstanding location at 5335 Roswell Road in Sandy Springs after more than fifty years in business, according to employees at the restaurant. The Waffle House will reportedly close permanently as of midnight on December 26. Fulton County property records indicate the 1,363 square foot restaurant first opened in 1967.
Fulton County property records indicate the .75 acre site in Sandy Springs most recently traded hands in February 2021 when it sold for $2.2 million.

Waffle House started in Avondale Estates in 1955 and today has nearly 2,000 locations across 25 states.
