Local News


Restaurants/Shopping News (current and under development):

  • Chili's at Northlake has closed.  Contacted DeKalb Chamber of Commerce and learned general reasons were the lease was up, repair work was needed on the building, and revenue didn't justify the repair work so they closed.  No details yet on a new tenant.  (2/27/08)

March 4, 2008
Dear Jenni,

Thank you for your email and for your interest in Chili's.
We are always disappointed when restaurants close due to high operating costs or lack of financial success. The Tucker Chili's was not meeting our company's financial expectations and the decision was made to close the restaurant. Immediate expansion plans do not include the Tucker, GA market.

Again, thank you for your interest in Chili's.
