Arbor Place is a shopping mall in Douglasville, Georgia, United States. Opened in 1999, the mall features the traditional retailers JCPenney, Belk Outlet, Conn's HomePlus, Macy's, and Dillard's.

History

[edit]

Arbor Place was developed in 1999 by CBL & Associates Properties (now CBL Properties). Upon opening, the mall featured over 1,000,000 square feet (93,000 m2) of retail space. The original anchor stores were Bed Bath & Beyond, Old Navy, Parisian, Sears, and Borders Books & Music. An additional space was built for Uptons, but the chain went out of business before the mall opened. Arbor Place was the first retail development in Douglas County, Georgia.[2] The unopened Uptons became a home furnishings store called Dekor in 2001, but this store liquidated after only a few months in operation. A year later, Rich's was added as well.[3] JCPenney joined the mall in 2003, taking the place of Dekor.[4]

On November 7, 2019, it was announced that Sears would shutter as part if an ongoing plan to eliminate its brick-and-mortar format.[5] Conn's HomePlus later opened on the second floor of the former Sears in 2021.
