    Town Center at Cobb (often called Town Center Mall), is a super-regional shopping mall located in Cobb County, Georgia near Atlanta.[3] The anchor stores are two Macy's stores, a Belk, and a JCPenney. There is one vacant anchor stores that was once Sears.
    Opened in late February 1986, the mall was originally anchored by Rich's, Macy's and Sears. The Mall was almost identical to Gwinnett Place Mall. The Macy's store was the first in Atlanta not to have originally been part of the Atlanta-based Davison's chain, which became Macy's during its opening. The largest mall in the state when it opened, a fourth anchor, Mervyn's, joined the mall later in 1986, along with another at Gwinnett Place Mall.[citation needed]
    Town Center is part of a major retail hub in northern Cobb County, Georgia along Barrett Parkway. It was located between parallel parts of I-75 and I-575, just north of where the interstates meet or split from each other. The mall itself has seen several significant changes over the years. In 1992, a new wing extending north from the east wing was finally added with Atlanta's first Birmigham, Alabama-based Parisian department store. This was also likewise done at Phipps Plaza also in 1992, Gwinnett Place Mall in 1993, and Northlake Mall in 1994. This brought the store count at the mall up to 220 stores and the amount of anchor store up to five. No other mall in both the area and state had five anchors at the time except for North Point Mall, which opened also in 1993.[citation needed]
    Enormously successful[citation needed] and drawing away customers that originally shopped at older Cumberland and Cobb Center Malls, the mall was first renovated in 1995 but has never been expanded aside from the Parisian addition. Store consolidations and retractions, however, have varied the anchor line-up in recent years. First, in 1997, JCPenney took over the former location of Mervyn's, which pulled out of Georgia and Florida at the time. Second, Rich's and Macy's were merged into one store, prompting the closure of the three-story Macy's that had been there since the mall's original opening. However, part of the store was refurbished and was used as a Macy's Furniture Gallery (originally a Rich's-Macy's Furniture Gallery) and now operates as Macy's Furniture Gallery, Macy's Furniture Clearance Center and Macy's Men's Store. Macy's now occupies the former Rich's location.[citation needed]
    Occupancy rates remain very high at the mall, and most major chain specialty stores are found in the mall. However, the mall was facing competition from all the big box stores on Barrett Parkway, two "lifestyle centers" that opened up on each end of the county and more upscale malls such as Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square. However, on May 13, 2008, the mall announced a year-long renovation project and also added H&M. The project was finished in May 2009 with new food court designs, family restrooms, children's play area, signage, and soft seating areas.[citation needed] On February 7, 2017, Macy's announced that Macy's Backstage will be opening inside Macy's in Spring 2017. On May 29, 2020, it was announced that Sears would be closing as part of a plan to close 28 stores nationwide. The store closed on August 9, 2020.[4]
    Deutsche Bank was the lead lender and trustee for a $200 million loan granted the mall in 2012. On February 2, 2021 the mall was put up for public auction on the Cobb County courthouse steps with an opening bid of $130,400,000. There were no offers tendered and the mall was foreclosed on.[5] The mall continues to operate with new management.

    As big as Kennesaw State is getting wouldn't be surprised if they scoop it up and convert it.

    It looks so vibrant here! Even with Sears gone, and a somewhat duplicate Macy's, Town Center seems to be full of life and great stores! (Still can't understand why Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister kept these stores over Mall of Georgia, but oh well.) It's always extra nice to see a mall doing well these days.

    always called it the barrett parkway mall. would usually stop at the cookie store to get a macadamia. used to like that unique store with the moving pictures that was later replaced by a banjo store. always liked both this and northpoint mall when lived there. northpoint seemed to get the celebrities like the cast of one tree hill and martin yan the chef, but this was more of a regular mall, had a nice feel to it. don't know why i didn't record it myself back then. still looks great

    So basically even this mall has some closed anchors…wow. When I was young I heard my sister was going to town center (she was married and outta the house) and I was so jealous cause we had only gone to south lake,Macon,Shannon , and Cumberland (Cumberland was like two times). And I was a shopping junkie…and when I look back ….I actually feel pathetic for thinking a good time was going to Rich’s and to the gap. No offense to anyone but I can’t believe I made it a hobby. But I do miss southlake….big time. And I mean to go like once a month…not every weekend. And Macon is shocking …nothing there. Also the couple of times I went to Cumberland….that was big time….I felt like I would run into a celebrity in there…it was a great mall. But Southlake…prettiest little quaint mall In ga that there was In the 80s. I think quaint is the wrong word lol prettiest little home like…not too big mall…in GA.
