After Two Unfortunate Events Diablo’s Southwest Grill Is Set To Reopen On Wheeler Road
Diablo’s Southwest Grill on Wheeler Road in Augusta has set a tentative opening date to reopen!
You might recall that this location has had a couple of rough years after it was hit with back-to-back unfortunate situations – even where they had to close for a while.
Back in April of 2021, Diablos Southwest Grill on Wheeler Rd faced a break-in at 4 am. Well, this wasn’t just a regular break-in that happened, this was a break-in that made national headlines across the country. Instead of bringing law enforcement into the situation right away, store management posted on social media that they could tell this robber was someone who was struggling with life decisions or having money issues.
So they instead invited them to swing by and get a job application and encouraged the robber that there were better opportunities that they could take than the path they were choosing to go down.
“My cell is 706-513-3557. No police, no questions. Let’s sit down and talk about how we could help you and fix the road you’re on. Sincerely Carl”
This is an exact quote that was put out by the management.
And then just a year later in April of 2022, the Wheeler Rd location experienced a substantial fire that caused them to close for a while. Nobody was hurt in the fire, and all of the damage was done could fortunately be able to be repaired and renovated.
Now, they have a tentative open date of December 28.
They’ve completely rebuilt it and even added some upgrades. One of those additions is the Jones Soda Machine. They will also be doing some grand reopening specials like free queso days and rolling back the price days. Along with that, they will be doing giveaways.
This location has also begun hiring for anyone who wants to jump on board.
