Whenever anyone shops anywhere in Fulton County, 1 cent of every 7.75 cents of sales tax is given back to local cities. Now that South Fulton is a city, these pennies of Local Option Sales Tax (or L.O.S.T.) total to nearly $2 MILLION in revenue each month — that's millions more each money for our Police, Parks, Youth & Senior programs.
Always shop in Fulton County. If a store is out of an item you are looking for, see if you can have it delivered, either to the store or your home. This helps local business generate income and our city generate revenue. If you experience less than excellent customer service, speak with management before taking your dollar to another county.

College Park Tire & Auto

White purchased the business in 1992 from another African American owner, Skip Simon. Before opening his own auto shop, White Sr. worked as a Regional Manager for Goodyear. Though known for their "Cooper Tires" sign on Old National, the store actually sells all brands of tires, including Goodyear, Michelin & Pirelli, and offers a full suite of auto services, including auto-detailing starting for as little as $35.
College Park Tire & Auto sets themselves apart from other area shops by providing "World Class Customer Service" — a phrase heard repeatedly here. All work comes with a minimum 1 year or 12,000 mile-warranty.
But what really sets this South Fulton business apart is its support of our community. From sponsoring various sports teams at Old National Park to career days at Love T. Nolan Elementary, Thaddeus White & College Park Tire can be found investing in young people all over Old National.
Please visit this local business for your future auto needs, and share pictures of your experience with the hashtags #SouthFulton & #OurDollarsMatter.

Wraith Lounge
5021 Old National Hwy, 30349
The cities of South Fulton & College Park are teaming up to revitalize Old National, and our team's newest star is Wraith ATL Lounge. Old National entrepreneur Sean Davis, owner of ABC Learning Academy Daycare off Old Bill Cook road, wanted to create a grown & classy establishment in the neighborhood for the parents of the little people he takes care of every day.
Named after Rolls Royce's top-of-the-line offering, Wraith ATL brings a best-in-class lounge to Old National. With elegant architecture and a matching dress code that prohibits t-shirts & sneakers, Wraith has already begun to attract Atlanta's A-list crowd. |
Wraith's avant garde food offerings include Lamp Pops
|
Chef Frank Judkins pushes the Southside's culinary boundaries with a progressive menu that includes Lamb Pops and Lobster Mac & Cheese, in addition to perennial favorites like shrimp and wings.
Davis has made this latest offering in his business empire a family affair, running the lounge with his five sons, who all aim to upgrade Old National's image. "The higher the standard you set for yourself, the more influence you have in the community." explains Davis' eldest son Derrick, who is enrolled in Georgia Tech's MBA program.
Stop by this week to celebrate excellence in entrepreneurship at metro Atlanta's hottest new spot. Take pictures, tag @WraithATL and share them with everyone you know using the hashtag #ShopSouthFulton.
