El Pollo Loco's Cobb Parkway Location Opening Soon

California based El Pollo Loco, Atlanta franchise partner Fiesta Brands, has opened a number of El Pollo Loco's in the past year. They will be opening yet another, this time on Cobb Parkway. Located just north of Cumberland Mall on Cobb Parkway, across from the T.J. Maxx / Cost Plus shopping center, the restaurant is set to open July 10th. Their fresh flame grilled chicken is sure to have you "Thinking outside the Bell". Repeat Atlanta!

Stuart Weitzman Opens At Perimeter Mall

Stuart Weitzman has opened their brand new boutique in the first floor Nordstrom wing of Perimeter Mall. The all white interior with uniquely arranged walls and shoes creates an inviting and soothing environment for any shopper! Repeat Atlanta!

Yet Another Lenox Relocation, This Time TOUS

Spanish jeweler TOUS, currently located on the upper level of Lenox Square, near Abercrombie & Fitch, will relocate in the coming months to the more prestigious, Luxury Wing. The space vacated by Betsey Johnson (which relocated to the upper level itself, near Anthropologie) seems to be an adequate guess for the relocation of TOUS. Repeat Atlanta!

Ermenegildo Zegna Lands In The Luxury Wing of Lenox

Ermenegildo Zegna, known for their expertly crafted suits will open a new boutique in the "Luxury Wing" of Lenox Square. Though not yet official, I expect that they would be better "suited" (pun intended) to take the former Nicole Miller space closer to Neiman Marcus rather than the old Betsey Johnson space across from Godiva. Repeat Atlanta!

7 For All Mankind Leaps Into Lenox

SIMON has done it again, this this time landing the first east coast retail boutique of 7 for all mankind. Though 4 stores in North America are open including one at an outlet center in Orlando, signing them for a portion of the former Polo space is a big deal. Lenox is already home to a number of stores whose only Atlanta area presence is within the mall, but this line has shown it can survive and is not simply a fad. Repeat Atlanta!

Faconnable Opening At Lenox Square

Faconnable, a French high end designer label, featuring tailored mens and womens clothing, will open a new boutique in Lenox Square in part of the former Polo space in the main hallway. Formerly owned by Nordstrom, the label was sold to a Lebanese private equity group last year. With construction having just started, expect them to try and have it open by the holiday shopping season. Repeat Atlanta!
