The Atlanta-based restaurant chain Tin Drum Asiacafé closed its Emory Village location in early January. The location will be moving to 2566 Briarcliff Road in the near future, according to Tin Drum's website.
The relocated Tin Drum will be one of several businesses joining the new Village at Druid Hills shopping center, according to local retail, restaurant and hotel blog Tomorrow's News Today.
Ann Mijanovich with The Meddin Company, one of the property owners in Emory Village, said in an interview with the Wheel that there is much buzz surrounding the available building in Emory Village, adding that they were talking to "a variety of exciting concepts" that could potentially take Tin Drum's place.
Mijanovich added that she does not know the reason why Tin Drum moved.
The owners of Tin Drum could not be reached for comment.
College sophomore Jon Weiss said he is sad to see Tin Drum go, adding that "the saddest part will be the people I no longer get to see behind the register. Of course I loved the food, but after a while I would go more to catch up with people I built a relationship with."
Tin Drum features a pan-Asian menu with more than 35 items made with Thai, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese and Indian influences, according to their website.
Wonderful World Burgers and Fries, another concept operated by the Tin Drum franchise, occupied the location until Tin Drum opened in early 2012.
