A New Restaurant Concept Is In The Works For Former Sunshine Bakery Location In Downtown Augusta

Sunshine Bakery, a former restaurant in Downtown Augusta, closed back in 2020 in the heat of the pandemic.

Now after 3 years, the building may become home to another restaurant.

Sunshine Bakery was known not only for the pastries but also for its savory soups. The latest owner was Gene Gurley until the restaurant closed in 2020.

Jordan Trotter Commercial Real Estate and Fat Man’s Hospitality Group may be bringing a BBQ concept to the old bakery location.

Fat Man’s Hospitality Group is hoping to continue on the legacy of the Sunshine Bakery and hopes the new concept will fit right in the collection of downtown restaurants.

While it is certain a new restaurant will be coming to town, it is not certain if it will be a BBQ spot, but  according to Havird Usry, with the Fat Man’s Hospitality Group, it will be “smokin’ good!”

The exact plans for the location have not yet been released.

So many and way too many times we all hear that there is never anything to do.  Well, I've learned Augusta-You Have So Much To Offer For Food And Fun.  As the second largest and fastest growing city in the State of Georgia, in Augusta, we have more to offer than ever before.

New restaurants and fun places are opening almost weekly in Augusta.  It depends on what it is you want to do you can find it here. Do you Love Country Music and nightlife?  The Dirty Boots Augusta is open on Broad Street.  Maybe you like a place to go where the younger people hang out to socialize, you can go to Sole or Garden City Social.

If the nightlife isn't for you, We have the Canal, The River Walk, Phinizy Swamp Nature Park, The Augusta Museum Of History and so much more.  With the growth of our military base and the cyber command, we are seeing people come to Augusta and business owners are stepping up to take care of those needs, and we are so thankful.

To me, one of the coolest things to take in with friends is the Broad Axe Throwing Club.  Talk about taking out some stress.  This is the way to do it

We have so much to offer just in the city of Augusta Alone, we haven't in this story talked about the happenings in North Augusta, Evans, Grovetown, or Aiken.  I hope you enjoy the videos below and that they inspire you to get out and enjoy just some of what Augusta has to offer. You might be surprised and wanna see more of the Garden City.

Just downtown Augusta alone, you will find so many places to eat. We are also lucky to have new places opening all the time.

This is a hidden gem that most people who even have lived here forever don't know about.

Doing the research for this story, I ran across this and had no idea it existed.  This looks like so much fun!

Now we don't have much time left in this season to enjoy the market, but it is a great way to enjoy a Saturday morning downtown Augusta

This is one of Augusta's greatest landmarks to spend time with family and friends.  The view is breath taking and you get some steps in also

I love that it all goes back to food.  So many great options around Augusta
