Atlanta is set to welcome a new fast-casual eatery as Staxx announces its upcoming opening in Switchman Hall, a food hall located in Terminal South. Anticipated to open this summer, Staxx is committed to serving healthy, fresh food options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Switchman Hall will showcase a diverse lineup of 18 food stalls, reinforcing Atlanta’s vibrant food culture. The food hall is part of an extensive development along the Atlanta Beltline’s planned Southside trail, which is expected to be completed by early 2026. This development aims to enhance the dining and lifestyle options available to residents and visitors.
Founded by Atlanta entrepreneur Olga Alvarez, Staxx plans to offer an enticing menu that includes build-your-own breakfast bowls, sourdough toasts, pressed paninis, and acai bowls. Menu highlights feature unique combinations such as ATL Heat (avocado, egg, chili spice, feta, bacon, honey) and Banana Delight (peanut butter, banana, honey, chia seeds) for toast selections, alongside standout paninis like Veggie Delight (hummus, vegetables, feta) and Butcher’s Best (turkey, ham, bacon, spicy aioli, provolone).
Additionally, the Turkey Pesto panini will include a delightful mix of turkey, pesto spread, provolone, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and red onion, ensuring a range of nutritious choices for all patrons. Overall, Staxx aims to cater to health-conscious diners without compromising on flavor.
Switchman Hall will also feature a variety of other food vendors, enriching the culinary landscape further. Notable tenants include Everyday People Caffeine and Cocktails, Saint Jawns, Issa Funnel, Double Barrel Smokehouse, and Ruki’s Kitchen, among others. As the new food hall prepares to open its doors, two stalls remain available for potential tenants.
Terminal South is strategically located at the intersection of Ridge Avenue and Hank Aaron Drive, near the Southside Beltline trail and the projected final stop of MARTA’s future bus rapid transit line in Peoplestown. This prime location is part of a larger project involving the adaptive reuse of two former warehouse structures, culminating in approximately 45,625 square feet of mixed-use space that will include retail and creative workspaces.
As Staxx readies itself for opening day, it represents not just a new dining option for the community but also an exciting development within the evolving landscape of Atlanta’s food scene.
