Read below for what is coming to the old wal-mart marketplace/Kroger space at Mabry and 92. Exciting but I still think the townhomes would have been better!
“Painted Tree Marketplace will open its second Atlanta area location next year in Roswell. The new store, coming to Sandy Plains Village at the corner of Sandy Plains and Woodstock Road, will open in the former Walmart Neighborhood Market/Kroger, where there was talk last year that Ignite Adventure Park would open. (In June, center owner SITE Centers sought to have the former grocery box and adjacent parcels rezoned for a townhome development.) Painted Tree Marketplace is similar to intown multi-vendor stores Kudzu Antiques and Westside Market, but with an emphasis on new products. The first Painted Tree opened in Little Rock, Arkansas in 2015, and the chain has since grown to ten stores with another four more coming soon, according to the company website. The company entered the Atlanta market late last year when they opened in a former DSW/ Stein Mart in Buford's Marketplace at Millcreek. The store opened December 19, 2019, then closed March 23 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and local restrictions, and reopened May 15. At 60,000 square feet, the Roswell location will be twice the size of the Buford store. In boilerplate verbiage that seems unlikely to be currently accurate, Painted Tree claims "Thousands of shoppers looking for home decor, fashion, and more come to this market every day!" "Painted Tree is aiming for 10 to 12 new store openings per year. Store sizes will range from 30,000 to 50,000 square feet, with a typical footprint of 35,000 square feet," according to an October press release announcing the company's upcoming expansion.”
