New Tenants Broaden Existing Retail Base
ATLANTA – October 2, 2006 – Atlantic Station, LLC today announced the addition of eight new and varied retailers and service providers to the Atlantic Station community, located in the heart of Atlanta’s cosmopolitan Westside. Joining existing tenants in Atlantic Station’s Central Park retail and entertainment district are four well-known national brands – Au Bon Pain restaurants, AllState Insurance, Journeys Shoes and Kay Jewelers. In addition, four establishments originating from the Atlanta area – Nani Salon and Spa, an Aveda Lifestyle Center, Atlantic Dental, Atlantic Grill restaurant and K-la clothing boutique – will provide important services and retail options, all with a local flair.
“By recruiting and retaining best-in-class retail tenants for our community, Atlantic Station continues to grow as the best address in the Southeast for shopping, dining and entertainment,” said John Whitaker, CEO of Atlantic Station, LLC. “These new additions will further enhance the total ‘live, work, play’ experience for our residents and the millions of guests who visit the Atlantic Station community.”
