For several months, Edens Real Estate—which owns and operates the Merchants Walk Shopping Center in East Cobb—has listed a Marshalls retail store (1311 Johnson Ferry Road) in its directory as a soon-to-be-occupant of some of the former Stein Mart space.
While there’s no indication on the exterior of what’s coming, we checked recently with Edens to get some more information.
East Cobb News was told last month that Edens doesn’t comment about such matters regarding its tenants, and we were referred to a spokeswoman for The TJX Companies, Marshalls’ parent company.
She said in response to our request for information that “although we appreciate your inquiry, Marshalls has not announced any store changes in Marietta at this point.”
These aren’t uncommon replies from corporate retail companies, who like to announce openings and relocations on their own time.
But we continue to get queries from readers, and have contacted TJX again and will post more when we get an update about when the store may be opening.
Marshalls has been located in East Cobb as an anchor the East Lake Shopping Center for many years, but Brixmor, the landlord of that property, has the Marshalls space listed on its directory as being available.
In January, ToNeTo, an Atlanta blog focusing on retail and restaurant news, cited an unnamed Marshalls source saying that the store would be moving from East Lake to Merchant’s Walk and taking up most, but not all, of the Stein Mart space.
There’s not much space available at Merchant’s Walk. Roadrunner Sports has moved from a space adjacent to the Stein Mart space to Suite 310, and the Verizon Store has moved to Suite 90, where Nuvo Salon was located.
Next Door, Suite 70, the old Calico Home space, is available.
Suite 470, the free-standing building near Whole Foods were Verizon was previously located, will become a One Medical location.
The former 18/8 men’s clothing store (Suite 120) also is vacant. Suite 440, which had housed a Bar Method fitness studio, will be occupied by a Perspire Sauna Studio.
