Park Place Shopping Center, will be the home of the first Brass Tap franchise in Georgia once it opens in mid-September.

Business partners Samy Onsi and Mary Kate Roesch left their corporate jobs for the opportunity to own their own business and both said they chose the busy shopping center, 4505 Ashford Dunwoody Road, NE, in Dunwoody because it is a destination location.

“When we were scouting out where we would want to open the first Brass Tap location in Georgia, we drove to many cities,” said Roesch. “But we think the shopping center, with its high density of offices and key location close to the intersection of I-285 and Ga. 400, will be the best place to start building our brand.”

After reading an article that stated the beer bar was one of the best new franchises in 2011, Onsi said he drove to where the business started in Tampa, Fla., to check it out for himself.
