The owners of Fellini’s and La Fonda will open up the fast-casual BBQ concept in East Lake Corners.
Mike Nelson and Clay Harper are moving forward with plans to open a third The Greater Good BBQ at the intersection of Second Avenue and Hosea Williams Drive in East Lake.
Nelson and Harper, partners behind Fellini’s Pizza and La Fonda Latina, this week filed plans with City of Atlanta for the forthcoming barbecue joint.
The Greater Good will take a 1,800-square-foot space in a building that will be constructed from the ground up on land formerly occupied by a gas station.
An estimated $60,000 will be spent readying the land for the new building. A second permit is expected to be filled for the physical construction of the restaurant.
The Greater Good should open later this year alongside two other concepts from Nelson and Harper in East Lake through a partnership with the The East Lake Foundation and CF Foundation, Inc. The new concepts will be less than a mile away from the East Lake Golf Club which hosts the PGA Tour’s Tour Championship each September.
Founded in 2012, The Greater Good BBQ first opened in Tucker.
Nelson and Harper brought the first Fellini’s Pizza to Atlanta in 1983 on Peachtree Road in Buckhead. The group now owns and operates two The Greater Goods (three including East Lake), five La Fondas, and seven Fellini’s Pizzas, all in the metro Atlanta area.
