BUCKHEAD, Ga. — Several Buckhead businesses are temporarily closing their doors Monday night due to a sinkhole along Peachtree Street.
11Alive's Cody Alcorn spoke with the manager of Sufi's Kitchen, which is located at 1814 Peachtree Rd. The manager said this had been an ongoing issue, and crews began working to repair the sinkhole after their sign fell into it.
A neighboring business, R. Thomas Deluxe Grill, added that water has been leaking for over a month.
"Unfortunately, for the past 40 days, water has been leaking in front of our neighbor's restaurant, or should I say gushing now there is a 15-foot sinkhole on Peachtree Street," the business wrote in a social media post.
R. Thomas Deluxe Grill said it will also be shutting down Monday night.
"Unfortunately, R. Thomas will close tonight and see what kind of remedies the city of Atlanta will give us to fix the water issues; hope to see you again soon," the grill added.
