The owner of popular establishments such as 5Church Midtown, 5Church Buckhead, and Alta Toro has highlighted the adverse effects these challenges are having on sales.

They believe that improved access and reduced traffic congestion will be crucial for maximizing their sales during this major international event. The stakes are high, and the pressure is mounting as they prepare for what could be a pivotal moment for their businesses.
