Here are the three top stories in Johns Creek today:

3. U.S. Auto Sales, the Lawrenceville-based used car business with multiple locations in the northern metro area, is officially closing down operations. Employees learned about the closure Sunday evening in an email from the company's CEO, Bob Anderson. In the email, Anderson said that U.S. Auto Sales was unable to reach an agreement with their private equity owner and lenders. All employees are currently furloughed, although the loan servicing department for U.S. Auto Sales remains open. (11 Alive)
