McDonough’s South Point Shopping Center will feature a trio of new tenants by year’s end, including Georgia’s first Market by Macy’s location, according to The Chaseland Group, which leads sales and marketing for the metro Atlanta shopping center.
The department store chain has signed a lease for its new smaller-store concept to occupy the center’s former former Toys R Us space. It will be the nation’s third Market by Macy’s location, following 2020 and 2021 openings in Southlake, Texas and Fort Worth, respectively
The concept represents a new flexible retail store for the 162-year-old company as it looks to off-mall formats, especially in the suburbs of large metros, in the face of struggling mall locations.
The first Market by Macy’s offers an array of experiences, including a coffee- and alcohol-serving cafe to a boutique setting in which customers are encouraged to stay and relax, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported last year.
At South Point Shopping Center, it will join other new tenants. Around the end of this month, the center will also welcome steakhouse chain Texas Roadhouse as well as Tesla, which has leased space to install a new 12-pedestal supercharger station, according to The Chaseland Group.
A site map shows Tesla will occupy space at South Point Shopping Center’s eastern half, with Texas Roadhouse getting ready to open on the western half, near the center’s entrance along Hampton Road.
It also shows the Market by Macy’s store, which will be located between TJ Maxx and Hobby Lobby, is expected to open in the fall.
A 700,000-square-foot regional shopping center, South Point Shopping Center opened in 2008.
