ATLANTA -- Partying at the Battery Atlanta is about to get louder, wilder and feature a lot more umbrellas.
Don’t worry Atlanta Braves fans, more rainouts aren’t forecast, but a lot more daiquiris are.
The Braves Development Company announced that Fat Tuesday will join The Battery Atlanta as its newest addition. The original daiquiri shop specializes in frozen drinks offered in a casual, conversational atmosphere.
The Fat Tuesday experience at The Battery Atlanta will feature fan-favorite frozen specialty drinks including bestselling flavors – 190 Octane, Hurricane, Pina Colada, Strawberry, Jungle Juice, Bellini, Margarita and more. Guests will have the opportunity to combine flavors and choose from souvenir cups of various sizes. The Battery Atlanta’s unique open layout will allow visitors to walk-up and grab their favorite libations to-go.
The opening marks a homecoming for the company. Fat Tuesday, a sister concept of New Orleans Original Daiquiris, was launched in 1984 with the opening of the first retail unit in Atlanta. The concept has grown into an international phenomenon with over 20 retail units throughout the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Honduras in locations such as Miami, Key West, Las Vegas, Cozumel, San Juan and Roatan.
“The convenient walk-up counter-serve layout at Fat Tuesday is perfect for visitors to grab a cold drink before or after enjoying one of the many shopping and entertainment options,” said Jeremy Strife, executive vice president of development. “Our dining concepts are sought out especially for their uniquely curated beverage programs and Fat Tuesday’s popular frozen cocktails build on that trend.”
The 1,118 square-foot space will be located across from El Super Pan, on the corner of Battery Walk and Legends Place and is slated to open this summer.
