The Battery is getting a new casual fine dining restaurant just in time for baseball season. J. Alexander’s is opening its third metro Atlanta location.
The restaurant is part of SPB Hospitality’s portfolio. The Houston-based operator and franchiser currently has J. Alexander’s locations in Dunwoody and Peachtree Corners, respectively.
The Cobb County location will be at 455 Legends Place, Suite 872, within steps of the Wahlbergers and Jenn’s Ice Cream, and next door to the Piedmont Orthopedics/Ortho Atlanta clinic. The location, being within The Battery, will provide Atlanta Braves and Major League Baseball fans with another dining option on game days and nights. The Battery has over 20 restaurants.
According to a company release, 90-100 front- and back-of-house positions are available at the new location. The hiring site is located within The Battery at 800 Battery Avenue, SE, Suite 120, and is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Overall employment in the food and beverage industry is projected to grow by 5% in the next nine years, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The median hourly wage for food and beverage workers is $14.92 (May 2024).
“We’re excited to build a talented team that will deliver the exceptional experience our guests have come to expect from J. Alexander’s, said SPB Hospitality CEO G.J. Hart in a release.
