The story
Waffle House purchased the Three Way Trading Post property and planned to demolish the existing structures to build a new restaurant there, the Clarkesville mayor and council were told in April 2025.
By May 2025, the council was still awaiting demolition, with officials saying they hoped Waffle House would soon begin tearing down the buildings and start construction.
The city received Waffle House's proposed building facade in January 2026, with plans for the planning commission to review it at that month's meeting.
