When a business can succeed for 16-plus years, watching the county grow and expand around them while still remaining current and competitive, you know they must be doing something right. At South Atlanta Leisure, an outdoor furniture business located in Fayetteville, they are doing it right. Now they are expanding, almost doubling the size of the store with a new outdoor area and new products including grills and outdoor kitchens.

The formula for success? “Good quality and great prices,” owner Gray Dobbins says simply.
With the weather heating up and people heading outdoors, the trend continues toward making your outdoor space as livable as your home. That means stylish outdoor furniture, functional and top of the line kitchen equipment meant to withstand the weather and all the comforts of home.

“We have a unique mix of products for every price level. We love to tailor the look and price of our products to our customer’s taste,” Dobbins says. He is excited about the new expansion that will allow South Atlanta Leisure to broaden its product offerings to include grills, fountains, fire pits and even outdoor showers.

“For over 16 years, we have been in the same location, serving the south metro area with quality products at great price points. We are the local source for patio furniture, fireplace accessories, gas logs and now grills,” Dobbins says.

South Atlanta Leisure features everything from accessories to grill islands. So whether you just want a new umbrella or cushions to update the look of your patio furniture, or want a new set of furniture for your sunroom, you can find it all here. Products range from simple to elegant and come in a variety of styles and colors. The store offers next-day delivery on anything in-stock, or customers can special order to get the colors and designs they prefer.

“We have everything you need for your sunroom, patio or poolside,” store manager Steve Gardner says. He adds that wicker furniture remains a best seller, while wrought iron seating and dining furniture is also gaining popularity for its durability. “You won’t have to replace it every other season,” he says.

Not only does South Atlanta Leisure offer reputable brands like Homecrest, they also put a big emphasis on customer service and satisfaction. “We’re locally owned and operated,” says Gardener. “We’re successful because we’ve grown with the community. We’ve seen other businesses come and go, but we’re still here and it’s because we offer outdoor furniture that makes a statement.”

South Atlanta Leisure is located at 100 Kathi Avenue in Fayetteville, just north of McDonald’s and the Michael’s shopping center. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 770-719-1802.
