Krog Street Market Announces Three New Tenants

From Staff Reports


INMAN PARK — Paces Properties announced Friday the addition of three tenants ready to call Krog Street Market (KSM) home: Gu's Dumplings, the Little Tart Bakeshop, and Fred's Meat & Bread.

The team behind The General Muir, named one of Bon Appetit’s Top 50 Best New Restaurant and Atlanta Magazine’s Restaurant of the Year, is coming with Fred’s Meat & Bread, a new burger and sandwich counter named for Krog Street’s Frederick Krog.

Gu’s Bistro is expanding inside the perimeter with their first dumpling and noodle spot called Gu’s Dumplings, while the Little Tart Bakeshop, recently featured on Anthony Bourdain’s, The Layover – Atlanta, is expanding and adding a new location at KSM.
