-The East Rome Pizza Hut closed after business Monday. The business will reopen on Martha Berry Boulevard in the new 3,000-plus square-foot Pizza Hut/WingStreet concept in a matter of days.
-As we've posted before, Zaxby's will open at the Turner McCall site that had been home to Pizza Hut. Rome's "Fast Food Freeway" gains a new player.
-In West Rome, the former Pizza Hut location is giving way to El Toro Mexican Buffet, featuring a Tex-Mex menu mix. That opening tentatively is set for March.
-Another refit related to Martin's Real Estate is the former Ark's site at Fifth Avenue and Turner McCall. It will be home to a new liquor store and, pending a final contract, one of Georgia's first Batteries Plus franchises (look for additional shops in Dalton and Augusta from the same franchisee). Batteries Plus also is opening this winter in Alpharetta.
