Issa Funnel has been announced as the latest food stall to join the tenant lineup at the forthcoming Switchman Hall food hall in Atlanta’s Peoplestown neighborhood.
Owned and operated by Chris and Ka’Ron Conwell, Issa Funnel will occupy 350 square feet and serve 12 signature offerings including the Roblox with strawberries and Fruity Pebbles with a cream cheese glaze, the Fortnite with mini marshmallows and crumbled Oreo cookies with a cream cheese glaze and the Goddess with strawberries, crumbled Biscoff cookies and cookie butter. Issa Funnel also offers a build-your-own option and fried Oreo cookies.
The Conwells developed Issa Funnel during the COVID-19 lockdown after Chris, who was working as the general manager of three corporate pizza restaurants, and Ka’Ron, a healthcare worker on maternity leave, decided they wanted a professional change.
Issa Funnel will join a list of more than 15 food and beverage concepts at Terminal South, most of which will be located in the Switchman Hall food hall in Building One, including Double Barrel Smokehouse, Ruki’s Kitchen, Everyday People Caffeine and Cocktails, Saint Jawns, Original Hot Dog Factory, Perfect Seasoning, Southern Grace, Te Quiero Tacos, Tiger K Cup Bob, Sabu K Ramen, The Cream, Smooth N Groove, DM Sliders, Flat-Out Flatbreads and Life Bistro.
Building Two will be home to the development’s only full-service restaurant, PÜR Zen Mimosa Wine Bar, while Jase’s Lemonade will open in a standalone 160-square-foot shipping container that’s currently being used as the development’s leasing office.
The 45,625-square-foot Terminal South development will be located at the corner of Ridge Avenue and Hank Aaron Drive near the Southside Beltline trail.
