The Gusto in Chamblee is temporarily closed after an employee tested positive for COVID-19.
The Atlanta-based fast-casual chain opened the Chamblee location last fall featuring the company's first drive-thru option.
Gusto founder Nate Hybl said in a statement that the company “hired a professional cleaning team to disinfect the restaurant and are requiring all Chamblee team members to get tested before they can return.” He did not provide a date for the restaurant’s reopening.
The location had only been offering drive-thru and takeout service since the coronavirus pandemic began.

The Chamblee eatery is located at 4945 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard near the Peachtree Station shopping center, which includes a Whole Foods, Chipotle, Starbucks, Zoës Kitchen and other shops and restaurants.
