Pappadeaux Planning Lawrenceville Location

Pappadeaux to open new restaurant near popular mall.

A new Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen restaurant is coming to Lawrenceville near Sugarloaf Mills.  The 14,400 square foot restaurant will be built near the corner of Duluth Highway (GA 120) and Newpoint Parkway, just off exit 107 of I-85.  The restaurant will join the PGA Tour Superstore, which opened nearby late last year, having relocated from Venture Drive in Duluth.

Pappadeaux, a division of Houston, Texas-based Pappas Restaurants, currently has three locations in metro Atlanta in Marietta, Norcross and Alpharetta. (The Norcross location, while close to the Lawrenceville site, is about nine miles away.)  Pappas operates a single metro location of their Pappasito's Cantina in Marietta near their Pappadeaux on Windy Hill Road.    

Another Pappadeaux  restaurant is planned for Morrow on Southlake Parkway, near Southlake Mall.  

According to a restaurant spokesperson, both restaurants are expected to open next year.  Based on current intel, the Lawrenceville location may open in early 2017, followed by the Morrow location soon after.
