A reader alerted us to the departure of the Ashley HomeStore at the East Cobb Crossing Shopping Center (4281 Roswell Road), and the above photo is what we saw when we went by.
The largest home furnishing retailer in the country had been operating at East Cobb Crossing since 2016, and also has stores in the Cumberland area and Alpharetta in north metro Atlanta in addition to the Town Center vicinity.
The Shopping Center Group, which leases space at East Cobb Crossing, lists the former Ashley space as having 19,230 square feet.
Like many retailing chains, Ashley closed locations in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and has been opening others as it makes significant changes.
Last year, the Ashley HomeStore concept was rebranded as “Ashley” and indicatec that stores in several metro areas, including Atlanta, will “undergo the refresh” amid more expansion.
According to Business of Home, a major reason for the rebrand is an attempt to reach younger customers and to “enhance the overall customer experience.”
Those marketing efforts include offering “experiential events” featuring live music with an emphasis on driving social media impressions and engagement.
