Pictured left to right is Lumi and Nick Bekteshi, owners of the Country Aire Restaurant, and their manager Crystal Appleton. The backdrop the trio stands before will probably not look familiar to many, because it is all new, and just a small sampling of the huge changes that have taken place inside the popular Atlanta eatery since it closed several weeks ago for remodeling.

The restaurant will re-open on Monday, February 19th at its usual early morning time. The public is invited to join the Country Aire owners and staff in a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the occasion at 10 a.m.

This is one of those don’t miss moments, as those who know the Country Aire well will be amazed by the changes they will find inside.
