“We love all our Downtown amenities and places to eat but there’s a lot of growth happening, and likely a new and better use will spring up in its place,”said Downtown Vision Inc. CEO Jake Gordon on Oct 24.

The 4,089-square-foot restaurant was built on almost 1.6 acres in 1985.

The restaurant, with a drive-thru, is bounded by State, Market, Union and Newnan streets.

Burger King Company LLC owns the property. Burger King has not responded to emails for comment.

Customers wanting to order at the drive-thru find a “Sorry We’re Closed” sign on the menu board.
