New freestanding locations of both Dunkin' Donuts and Krystal are planned for Hamilton Mill Road in Buford. Atlanta-based Crown Development Group plans to build the two restaurants on vacant land in the 2700 block of Hamilton Mill Road. The roughly 2,200 square foot Dunkin' Donuts will feature the brand's "Jazz Brew" store design. The design features an "upscale, warm environment featuring a strong palette of rich colors and textures, impactful super graphics, colorful soft seating and modern detailing." The donut shop is expected to also feature a Baskin-Robbins shop-in-shop. The roughly 1,700 square foot Krystal will be one of the newest Krystal restaurants I recall in recent memory being built in metro Atlanta. The Atlanta-based company tried an ill-fated "Krystal Too" near Northlake, but its inline location doomed it and it closed soon after opening.

In preparation for the move, Levison will close her long-time original Souper Jenny location on East Andrews Drive this coming Saturday, March 26. Souper Jenny and bookstore customers will be able to make use of the Atlanta History Center’s free parking deck. (Museum admission is not required for dining or shopping.) "Open seven days a week, Souper Jenny at the Atlanta History Center will be a cross between a chic, funky local café and coffee shop, and reflect Levison’s unique dining style, décor, and destination dining experience that has made it a favorite of countless Atlantans. The menu will remain true to Souper Jenny standards with fresh soups, salads and sandwiches that change daily according to what is fresh in the local market. Patrons will enjoy dinners to-go, fresh, organic juices and gluten-free desserts from Juicy Jenny, as well as a full coffee bar featuring Batdorf & Bronson coffees and sweets from local purveyors."
