Find yourself in the Classic City on occasion? Here are a few Terry alums whose businesses you can support while in town.
For a quick caffeine fix, stop by Sunroof Coffee on Tracy Street north of downtown. Founded by UGA Entrepreneurship grads Reid Finnegan (BBA ’23) and Nick Alliston (BBA ’23), the smartly branded shop sits in a new mixed-use development near the Chase Park Warehouses and serves up quality espresso, matcha, affogato and other delights.
Feeding a crowd on game day? Place an order with Saucehouse, owned by Chris Belk (AB ’05, MBA ’13). The catering offshoot of the former brick-and-mortar barbecue restaurant offers your choice of slow-smoked meats and tasty sides, plus desserts, beverages and all the sauce you can handle.
For pub grub that transcends the typical wings and things, visit Hi-Lo Lounge on Prince Avenue. Co-owned by Katie Gasperec (BBA ’02), the Normaltown staple has gourmet hot dogs, Cincinnati-style chili, creative sandwiches and plenty of vegetarian options. (Keep a lookout for the opening of Nové Město, the Hi-Lo team’s Czech-themed spot on Barber Street.)
As the owner of Bean Team — operator of nine Barberitos locations, eight Dunkin’ stores and four Newk’s Eatery restaurants in the Athens area — former UGA football lineman David Weeks (BBA ’95) has your burrito, doughnut and sandwich needs covered. Tooling around campus? Check out his newly opened Dunkin’/Newk’s in the Business Learning Community’s Amos Hall.
