Comments on: National Chains “Have Not Done Well” at Atlantic Station http://www.decaturmetro.com/2011/02/16/national-chains-have-not-done-well-at-atlantic-station/ Decatur Georgia News, Events, Atlanta News Tue, 16 Sep 2014 19:16:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.0 By: Chrissy Weeks http://www.decaturmetro.com/2011/02/16/national-chains-have-not-done-well-at-atlantic-station/#comment-95883 Wed, 23 Feb 2011 16:11:10 +0000 http://www.decaturmetro.com/?p=20705#comment-95883 I love H&M I just wish they had put in a BIG one. I lived in Edinburgh where there are 2 H&M’s on the same street. I think that Atlantic station could be a great chance for a mix of some of the more interesting national chains and some funky locals.
If they took out the publix and put in a Trader Joe’s that alone would double foot traffic there. Some other great chains for that location would be: Forever 21, Zara (one at Perimeter), Would love to see Top Shop and some of the other fun British clothing stores here. Basically anything that that we don;t already have somewhere else in town would be nice. Part of the problem is that ATL is so saturated with cheap clothing (Old Navy, Gap etc..) we don’t want to pay more for stuff and local and small = costs more.

Very handy, especially in bad weather. But, the walking distance from the MARTA station to AS and IKEA is no big deal for me; I usually take the shuttle back to the station if I’m carrying purchases.

That will make for a nice 2 hour adventure; I’ve been to Atlantic (no)Station once too.
