Georgia Southern University and the Statesboro community received a facelift this summer as new places to eat, live and soar popped up all around the ‘Boro.

FOOD

Low on groceries but need to stay on a budget to eat? Statesboro has options for you.

Groucho’s Deli, located beside Bigshow’s Burgers on Brampton Avenue, opened on June 24.

Jersey Mike’s Subs opened on May 15. It is located across from Sweetheart Circle in front of the Woodlands.

Cookout finally came to Statesboro. On July 1 Cookout, located on Fair Road between Burger King and Popeye’s, opened its doors to the public.

On July 26, Statesboro’s newest bar Sports Page opened. Taking the place of Dos Primos, Sports Page is right near Allen E. Paulson Stadium.

The Clubhouse of Statesboro obtained a license to serve alcohol in June. The family bowling, golf and laser tag center will begin serving beer and wine after the completion of a new bar area later this fall.

APARTMENT COMPLEXES

Need somewhere to live? Statesboro has plenty of rooms available with three new apartment complexes that opened this summer.

One11South opened on Aug. 1. The complex is located on Rucker Lane and will feature a lazy river.

The closest apartment complex to campus, Monarch 301, also opened on Aug. 1. Monarch 301 is on South Main Street.

Aspen Heights also opened on Aug. 1 for most of its residents. Aspen Heights is on Fair Road before the Kiwanis Ogeechee Fairgrounds.

Georgia Southern University

Wondering why you have to pay extra fees this year? GSU is undergoing construction.

Renovation to expand Paulson Stadium began June 5. In the fall of 2012, students voted to incorporate fees that would allow GSU to move to the Football Bowl Subdivision and expand the stadium.

The new Biological Sciences Building, completed in June, is energy-efficient as a part of the green fee students voted for.
