Roswell Mall
Roswell Town Center, formerly Roswell Mall, is a shopping center located in Roswell, Georgia - and built in 1974.[1] It is situated at the intersection of Holcomb Bridge Road and Alpharetta Highway.
Originally, Roswell Mall was a 400,000-square-foot, two-level mall[1] - and was anchored by Richway - and later Uptons (the first store of the now-defunct chain) in 1985[2] and K-Mart.[3]
In April 1994, the mall was purchased by Talisman Cos. LLC[1][3] - and was reformed into an open-air center. By 1997, it was referred to as "Roswell Town Center," and although it was no longer an enclosed mall, it still had two levels. Over the course of three years, the exterior was remodeled, while the interior was demolished. Talisman renewed the leases for anchors K-Mart and Target (formerly Richway), while Uptons left. The movie theater, run by Startime Entertainment, was also remodeled. The renovations to the shopping center added 100,000 square feet to the structure.[4] Construction on the $10 million family entertainment complex began in October 1997.[5]
