“The campus management asked us to move,” Wingnuts owner Harry Zhao told what now, atlanta? while scrambling to open the new location this past Wednesday.

While Wingnuts was fortunate enough to find new space to move into, Quiznos was left with no choice but to close. “Its not [that] the lease [was] up, rather the school has a plan to build a new dining hall,” according to Zhao.

The new Wingnuts location is 5800 square feet, which is nearly the size of the old space. However, with heavy reliance on traffic driven by students at Georgia Tech, we’re left questioning Zhao’s’ decision in opening on Marietta Street.

Some details about the new dining hall at Georgia Tech as found on the Georgia Tech housing website:

This new residential dining facility, to be located at North Avenue Apartments, will occupy the retail space currently fronting North Avenue. The new dining hall will seat approximately 325 people, and will be in the format of an ‘all you care to eat’ facility, serving the entire student body, faculty/staff and the community. Late night operating hours, an outdoor dining patio, and a sustainable (LEED Gold) design are some of the anticipated features.

  1. Hey guys,

    Thanks for the story! Its Georgia Tech or Georgia Institute of Technology… not Georgia Tech University. Just an FYI. Otherwise, great job!

  2. Thing about “all you care to eat” is that it’s hella expensive. I go to GSU, where this year they opened Freshman Hall. To live there, you must sign on to the dining plan, which is over $1000 a semester, and that’s valid only at their dining hall, not any other campus eateries (they get $125 out of that to use elsewhere). For non-residents to eat there, the lunch and dinner rates are ridiculous. Just another way to separate naive freshmen from their money, haha!
