Breastaurant chain continues to close locations
Tempe, Arizona-based Tilted Kilt, a Celtic themed "breastaurant," has now closed two metro Atlanta locations within the past month.
Tempe, Arizona-based Tilted Kilt, a Celtic themed "breastaurant," has now closed two metro Atlanta locations within the past month.
The Tilted Kilt restaurant on Barrett Parkway in Kennesaw closed late last month, followed by the closure of the Sandy Springs restaurant this past week.
The Kennesaw location will reportedly reopen in the coming months as a new tavern from the owners of midtown's Sivas restaurant. The Sandy Springs location (in the former Max & Erma's) occupied a 6,800 square foot freestanding outparcel of the Perimeter Pointe shopping center and opened in 2010. The space has great visibility at the corner of Mount Vernon Highway and Perimeter Center West, but I'm unaware of any imminent replacement plans.
Previous Tilted Kilt closures in metro Atlanta have included locations in Johns Creek at Medlock Crossing and on Holcomb Bridge Road in Alpharetta.
Following the closures, Tilted Kilt will operate just three Georgia locations in Suwanee, Buford and near Cumberland Mall.
Atlanta-based breastaurant industry leader Hooters operates eighteen locations in Georgia with a nineteenth coming soon near Mall of Georgia. Upstart Twin Peaks, based in Dallas, Texas, operates three locations in the peach state.
What would you like to see open in place of Tilted Kilt in Sandy Springs? Why do you think Tilted Kilt has fared so poorly in metro Atlanta? Are you offended by the term breastaurant?
