Yumbii to Launch Shipping Container Restaurant Concept in Midtown

Yumbii, which sparked metro Atlanta's food truck craze, is going green with its latest concept: recycled shipping container restaurants.

The company plans to open its first such eatery at 10th and Peachtree streets, according to the Atlanta Business Chronicle.

Yumbii told the Business Chronicle it sees the concept expanding across the city in small or odd-shaped lots.

The idea melds well with the green movement mantra of reusing materials and making use of odd-shaped lots that otherwise might remain empty.

It already has already taken root in international hotspots including Paris, London and New York.

In Atlanta, Yumbii envisions seeing the idea as a “natural fit” for the Atlanta BeltLine, the Business Chronicle reported, because they're a better fit for odd-shaped lots.
