Prestige Appliance, 3905 Fernandina Road: 7 September 2017 4 comments
I blogged the relocation of Prestige Appliance from Sunset Boulevard to Fernandina Road in November 2014 when they moved into the former Fireplace Center.
Around the same time, they were building and opening a new store in Augusta. I'm guessing that they tried to do too much at the same time and got overextended. At any rate, as reported in The Augusta Chronicle, they declared Chapter 7 (simple liquidation) bamkruptcy on 7 September 2017.
I say "simple" liquidation, but apparently it is actually a bit more complicated than that since as you can see here, the merchandise and fleet are still intact at this location.

Sandy's Plaza, 1344 Knox Abbott Drive: 2010 3 comments
For Sale By Bank the sign reads at this colorful strip mall on Knox Abbott Drive.
It appears that Sandy's Famous Hot Dogs is pretty much the only business left here, and I'm sure they will probably continue under the new owners when and if.
I'm not exactly sure why this place didn't prosper. I find it rather attractive, with all the bright colors, and it's not particularly hard to get to, or to get in and out of.
I don't believe the Taco Bell building on the west side of the plaza is officially part of it, but its re-incarnation seems to have gone wrong, leaving it empty as well.
UPDATE 27 August 2011: The plaza has been sold and Sandy's is gone.
UPDATE 5 April 2012 -- The Chinese immersion charter school is up and running:
