Fatz Cafe, 294 Peachoid Road (Gaffney): December 2022 3 comments
At first it seems like this Fatz is well situated, being highly visible from the Interstate, and right next to Gaffney's most famous landmark, but on further consideration, it is quite a long distance down a frontage road that by the time you get to the Interstate exit, you have half forgotten that you were going to get off. Locating in an outparcel of the Hamrick's right at the exit might have in fact been better. In the event it is all moot since the whole chain shut down as we have discussed before, but perhaps not moot at the time as this location apparently closed well before the others, and the note from management hints at some issues.
The building has obviously attracted unwelcome attention, and may be beyond salvage at this point. I'll have to see how it looks the next time I'm in the area, which most likely won't be for a year or more.
Here is the building in happier times.

I remember going to the first Fatz in Spartanburg sometime in the early 90s, or even late 80s. Here's a good site about their history.

@Mr. Bill- That article proves what I have been preaching for the last several years. Equity Company=kiss of death.

MY parents lived in Gaffney and frequented this place often. However, even before COVID, the quality of service and food had started to decline. I suspect staffing problems were the root cause of this location's closure.
