Micro Food Hall Contributes to Creating Norcross, GA Destination

Terra Alma has announced South End Norcross is building a micro food hall in the former engine building anchored by barbeque restaurant South End Smokehouse. The engine building was purchased by entrepreneur Luis G. Fernandez.

South End Smokehouse will be managed by Buzz Schuster, a restaurant operator with more than 20 years of experience in the industry. Schuster’s famous barbeque recipes, including his tender brisket, will be on full display. The micro food hall, set to open by spring 2024, will also feature other concepts.

Known for his successful ventures, including Mojitos Cuban American Bistro LLC, The Crossing Steakhouse, and three other locations of Mojitos Bistro around town, Fernandez praised Mason Zimmerman, Principal of TileTech Renewal Co. for his commitment to creating something unique. Fernandez credits Edie Weintraub, Founder and Chief Community Builder of Terra Alma, with introducing him to the project and bringing him together with TileTech.
