Superica, Little Rey, No. 246 Reopening For Takeout April 13

In addition to our normal news coverage, What Now Atlanta is tracking ways Atlanta’s businesses are adapting to the novel coronavirus and the challenges it brings to brick-and-mortars.

Rocket Farm Restaurants plans to reopen for pick-up only at Superica (Krog Street Market, Buckhead, and Avalon locations only), Little Rey, and No. 246, beginning Monday, April 13.

“Our number one priority remains the well-being and safety of our team and our communities, and we feel we can re-open responsibly with lean, efficient teams to prevent further spread of the virus and ensure we are keeping our teams healthy and employed,” a company spokesperson in an email Wednesday told What Now Atlanta.

“At the time of our closure of Superica, Little Rey, and No. 246, while no one within our restaurants had tested positive for COVID-19, we felt that it was safer for all Rocket Farm employees to take the time to stay home for a full 14 days in order for us to streamline our processes and reopen without any health concerns.”

Rocket Farm Founder Ford Fry in late-March made the decision to completely cease operations at the entire restaurant group, including takeout and delivery.

The Optimist, BeetleCat, King + Duke, St. Cecilia, Marcel, and JCT, and Superica’s Battery location only, will remain closed “so our teams can focus our resources in our most adaptable restaurant environments.”

Modified hours of operations are as follows:

• Superica at Avalon
  • Wednesday and Thursday from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m.
  • Friday from 4:30 to 9 p.m.
  • Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.
