by

Ace Hardware Midtown AtlantaYou know how it is. There you are in your Midtown Atlanta condo, ready to hang that totally awesome painting or art work you just picked up at the Dogwood Art Festival. What? We don’t have any picture hangers? Or Nails? So, down the elevator you go, into the car, out of the garage, down Peachtree Street, left on Ponce and all the way to Home Depot at Midtown Promenade on Ponce. Remember that trip?

Remember no more?

Shep’s Midtown Ace Hardware Store

Where is Ace Hardware Store in MidtownMidtown now has a totally cool, urban hardware store…and you can w-a-l-k to it! A big welcome to The Midtown Ace Hardware Store. It’s located on the corner of Juniper and 7th Streets. That would be on the back side of Viewpoint Midtown and just down the block from the under construction Seventh Midtown.

We’ve already been in the store twice for light bulbs and an HVAC filter. Zach Stafford, the owner is sure to greet you when you arrive or certainly before you leave! The team is attentive, and if there is something you need and they don’t have it, they will get it in stock. They are all about knowing what their customers want in the store!

It’s a full hardware store, just scaled down. Paint, no problem. Hardware, no problem. Lawn and Garden, not only no problem but the store will have a “First For Midtown” outdoor garden center along the side of the store on 7th Street. We can hardly wait to see what they bring in there!

Shep's Ace Hardware Midtown AtlantaAlso unique to the store is a smoothie bar that will open in the next couple months. Hey, get that boost of energy before you start on your next condo project. Residents of Historic Midtown will enjoy the convenience of this store as well, since they too have to make the same trek to the Home Depot!

In speaking with the owner, he will be working with the various Midtown condominium HOA’s to offer Community Discount nights for specific buildings. Now when did you ever hear of Home Depot doing something like THAT!

Welcome Midtown Ace Hardware. Ace IS the place of the helpful hardware man!

NCR Corporation to Build Midtown Atlanta Headquarters

by

NCR Corporation to Build Midtown Atlanta Headquarters

In a story in the Atlanta Business Chronicle, it was reported that Atlanta is considering some $3.2 million in incentives to get NCR to bring the headquarters to Midtown. NCR has reported they will spend some $260 million to build on the site, which they have an agreement to buy.

The relocation would be huge for Atlanta and Midtown with some 3,600 employees being in the innovation/think tank area of Technology Square and Centergy.

The move is also a change for the company which first relocated from Ohio to suburban Duluth (Gwinnett County) some six years ago. “NCR is making a play for the Millennial workforce, which prefers the entertainment and cultural amenities of the city and rejects the long commute to the suburbs,” the Atlanta Business Chronicle reported.

Often times, a relocation of a corporate headquarters in the same city might not see many residential changes, but there may be many people that will now have much longer commutes from the suburbs of Atlanta and might want a change.

MyMidtownMojo.com is ready and waiting to welcome NCR Corporation to Midtown Atlanta and help you find your piece of Mojo (also known as a condo, townhome or single family home!)

 

Here To Serve’s Shout Midtown Restaurant Closing Dec. 23 as Tom Catherall Retires | What Now Atlanta

by

Shout did not have the best of relationships with nearby Hanover House and Colony Square condominiums due to noise issues from their patio and various events held there.  But, it sadly leaves another vacant spot in retail/restaurants in Midtown Atlanta.

Co-Founder Leigh Catherall set to helm restaurant group. Change could mean eviction for Twist and Prime, which I find interesting that Simon Properties is trying to kick them out of these two locations….unless they have been a problem tenant…or the space is more valuable for something else?

Time Restaurant to Replace Straits at 5th and Juniper

by

Buckhead Bottle Bar Moves to MidtownIt looks like someone else if going to try and make a go of it at this challenged restaurant corner!

Time (formerly a.k.a. Buckhead Bottle Bar) is going to be moving into the space at the corner of 5th and Juniper. The last try, Straits did not do so well. It may be the location, or maybe no one has found the right combination for that space. And it always faces a challenge being so close to the residential townhomes that dot both sides of 5th Street between Juniper and Piedmont.

Time Restaurant(s) as they say (and what does that actually mean) Facebook Page gives no indication as to when the new space will open.

We’ll be watching to see what happens!
