No Official Word Yet, But Former Know Style Store May Soon Have New Tenants

This just in! SIMON is close to signing a pair of "new to the market" retailers to the former Polo and most recently Know Stlye store in the main hallway of Lenox Square. My personal guesses... Zegna or Mango.

Chick-fil-A Opens At Turner Field

Atlanta based Chick-fil-A opened two new locations at Turner Field yesterday. Unknown in whether there was a line all day to receive free chicken for a year, as is customary at new openings, but somehow I doubt it. Their entry into Turner Field follows on the heels of another Atlanta restaurant, Moe's Southwest Grill who entered the stadium in 2006.

Hudson Grille Opens At Perimeter Mall

Costco Coming To North DeKalb Mall

As I first reported this past January, and now made official, Costco will begin construction shortly on a new store at North DeKalb Mall. In the works for years, Charlie Hendon of Hendon properties, the mall's owner has finally sealed the deal! Additionally the AMC 16 theaters will undergo a makeover of their own, as presumably the entire mall will get a facelift for their new tenant. The agreement would place Costo "in the center of the existing mall between Burlington Coat Factory and AMC Theatres." A Costco gas station would likely be built on Hendon owned property adjacent to the mall behind Pier One.
