Midtown’s Saints + Council is packing up its cozy, mood-lit vibe and heading outside the Perimeter. Spur Hospitality, the Atlanta restaurant group behind the Colony Square favorite, says it plans to open a second Saints + Council in Dunwoody, bringing the polished Midtown concept to a suburban dining room and patio. The move caps a busy start to 2026 for the still-young group, which has already debuted a second concept at Colony Square and brought on additional senior culinary leadership.
Where It’s Going
According to the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Spur plans to land the next Saints + Council somewhere in Dunwoody, using the original Colony Square interior as the design blueprint. The report notes that Spur has not yet shared a firm opening date or the exact address, only that this will be the first time the group replicates the Saints + Council concept outside Midtown.
Spur’s Growth Strategy
Spur Hospitality, founded by William Pitts, has been in expansion mode since launching in 2025. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the group opened Cuevacía at Colony Square earlier this year and recently tapped veteran chef Ian Winslade as managing partner and culinary director. Pitts told the paper that outside investment and a new corporate office at Colony Square are part of a broader plan to scale Spur’s restaurant concepts across the region.
How The Colony Square Look Travels
Saints + Council debuted at Colony Square in late 2021 and has quietly become the design template for Spur’s dining rooms and menus. In a Colony Square press release about Cuevacía, Pitts is described as having long envisioned multiple concepts at the mixed-use development. So it is a safe bet that Saints + Council’s dim, moody lighting, wood-and-tile finishes, heated patio touches and generous plates will all influence how the Dunwoody outpost is built out.
Why Dunwoody
Dunwoody’s Perimeter Center, anchored by Perimeter Mall, is one of metro Atlanta’s busiest suburban commercial hubs, with a dense daytime office crowd and a retail scene that can support higher-end restaurants. The City of Dunwoody highlights Perimeter’s economic muscle and its mix of offices, housing and shopping in its planning and economic development materials. For Spur, that mix of weekday foot traffic and nearby affluent neighborhoods creates a ready-made audience for a second Saints + Council.
What Comes Next
Spur has not yet released lease details or a specific opening timeline for the Dunwoody location. Owner William Pitts told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the team plans to evaluate locations and landlords on a case-by-case basis and expects to share more information later this spring. In the meantime, the company’s corporate site lists media and tenant contact details through Spur Hospitality.
