A Krispy Kreme Donuts Place

I drove by sometime in November and noticed it gone and reported to Eli who wrote up this cool piece on Checkers:

I want a Wal-Mart. There, and on every corner.

A pickup station for ICE to accomidate those who were detained as 'illegal' and are being returned back to S.A.

If you look at all of the properties that have changed hands at that intersection and the amount of underutilized real estate, it begs questions about general trends in business (local vs national, fast food, walking vs driving, real estate valuations, etc) and economic development. Togerther with North DeKalb Mall, the entire intersection is ripe for a redevelopment plan by DeKalb County. In total, the land area approaches that of the GM Doraville plant.
You also have similar planning efforts which include mass transit from Toco Hills to Buford Highway on North Druid Hils Road. Then of course, you have the proposed LCI attempted at Suburban Plaza (a future rail stop).
My guess is any fast food, etc that goes in here will be short-lived and individual properties will give way to more comprehensive (and connected) development.

I had heard that a Golden Corral was being built in the corner of the parking lot (mall parking lot) right next to where the Checkers was located.

Krispy Creme or Starbuck's

That Chik-fil-a basically killed the one inside North DeKalb Mall, though, so putting another Chik-fil-a right next to it would be like dividing by zero or something. I say a Dunkin' Donuts with a drive-through. The closest Dunkies is at North Druid Hills and Lavista and it doesn't have a drive-through at all. It seems like an underserved area.

What about drive thru Pizza by the slice?!
