This should gladden the hearts of Waffle House fans everywhere.
The Atlanta-based national restaurant chain is planning to open an eatery near Centennial Olympic Park downtown, and it’ll be bigger than your average Waffle House.
“We want to be in the heart of the city with the likes of Coke, the Georgia Aquarium and the Children’s Museum,” Pat Warner, vice president of marketing and communications for Waffle House told the AJC. “It’s a great location for us.”
The chain is in the process of closing on nearly an acre of land at the corner of Andrew Young International and Centennial Olympic Park boulevards, Warner said. Waffle House’s newest location could open by spring, if all goes according to plan, he said.
The new Waffle House will offer 43 seats inside as well as outdoor seats overlooking Centennial Park, Warner said. Typical Waffle Houses offer seating for 30 to 35. The Centennial Park restaurant will be the company’s third downtown location; there’s one at Underground Atlanta and one on the Georgia State University campus.
