Lenox Square

Atlanta

Lenox Square is a shopping mall located in the Buckhead district of Atlanta, Georgia. Lenox Square comprises 1,558,678 square feet of retail space, with 198 stores on four levels, including a large food court. The mall's anchor stores are Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's, and Macy's. The mall has been owned by Indianapolis-based developer Simon Property Group since 1998, which also holds the neighboring Phipps Plaza shopping center. Lenox Square opened to the public on August 3, 1959, operating as an open-air shopping center much like a typical lifestyle center. Its original anchors were two of the most famous and acclaimed department stores in the area, Rich's and Davison's, and grocery chain Colonial Stores. The mall opened with 60 stores. Over the next few decades competition from new suburban shopping malls spurred four expansions. The most recent renovation included enlarging the Neiman Marcus store by 52,000 square feet and the addition of 36,000 square feet of new retail space. Lenox Square houses several upscale stores that do not have other locations within several hundred miles of Atlanta.
