Their names are instantly familiar, their logos immediately recognizable. Some of them represent the world's most famous brand names, while others are well on their way to prosperity and success. Chain retail stores are as much of the American way of life as hot dogs, baseball and apple pie. And over the past several months, their numbers seem to be growing throughout metro Atlanta. In Chamblee, a new Zaxby's - which tooks months longer to build than expected because of financing issues - will open on Monday. An old Stone Mountain Dairy Queen has been demolished, and another Zaxby's will soon take its place.

Five-acre site features 85,000 square feet of film and television production space.
by Patch Staff Raulet Property Partners said it opened Mailing Avenue Stageworks, an 85,000-square-foot, a film and television production facility in Chosewood Park.

The consignment shop next door, which also opened within the past year, also is shuttered. The building used to be home to the Blendz hair salon.
