Slope's BBQ has closed its Alpharetta location.  The restaurant, located at 5865 Gateway Drive, just off Peachtree Boulevard, closed as of December 24 after 26 years in business.  No reason was provided for the closure.

Bob White opened the first Slope's BBQ in Roswell in 1991.  In the years that followed Slope's expanded via franchising to include locations in Alpharetta, Cartersville, Cumming, and Sandy Springs.  

The Cartersville Slope's on North Tennessee Street closed in 2013, and after sitting vacant for years, has been home to several restaurants, currently Lee's Guest House, a Korean BBQ restaurant.   The Cumming location on Canton Highway closed at the end of 2021. The building was demolished and reopened as a Wash Factory Express car wash.  

Slope's BBQ in Sandy Springs was located on Johnson Ferry Road near City Springs but closed in 2022 to become McDaniel's QN2.  The restaurant still serves a similar menu to that of Slope's and is still owned by Andy & Glenn McDaniel who created their own brand after 20 years as Slope's franchisees.  

White, then 80, sold the Roswell restaurant to local business owner Angel Martinez in early 2022.  For White, the sale was about rest and retirement after 31 years of service.  The Roswell restaurant on East Crossville Road remains open today.  At the time of his purchase, Martinez said that he looked to grow the brand in Georgia and across the country.  There is no indication that any additional locations are currently planned.
