The mall opened on October 20, 1993 as one of the largest shopping malls in the country. The mall was the second final property built by Homart Development Company. As of 2018, North Point Mall is one of Atlanta's most popular malls. The mall's anchor stores are Dillard's, JCPenney, Macy's, and Von Maur. HistoryThe mall opened with space for 6 anchor stores, of which 5 were occupied: Rich's, Lord & Taylor, Mervyn's, JCPenney, and Sears. One of the more distinctive elements of the mall was the Rich's store, which was designed with numerous distinctive historical elements and a more elaborate design to pay tribute to its lost flagship store in downtown Atlanta, which had closed only two years earlier. Though it became a Macy's in 2005, the outside of the store retains the elaborate sculptings of the original store. Mervyn's vacated in December 1995 and Dillard's filled the 6th pad on the east side of the mall the following year. A large parking deck was also constructed next to Dillard's. Parisian took the Mervyn's space, making the mall more upscale. The mall was renovated in 2003, when the interior was modernized to introduce more sitting areas, and in 2004, when an entire escalator was moved from East Court near Starbucks to the Sears wing of the mall. In June 2004, The Cheesecake Factory opened its 3rd Georgia location and first location outside of Atlanta at North Point. The store is located in the mall parking lot just beyond the parking deck. A walking path known as the "yellow brick road" connects the restaurant to the mall's Center Court.[2] In 2005, Lord & Taylor closed its {{convert|115000|sqft|m2|-2|abbr=on}}. store at the mall leaving a vacant anchor. Parisian vacated in September 2007, after it was acquired by Belk, which opened in the former Lord & Taylor. Belk closed in September 2009. Midwestern luxury retailer Von Maur announced in October 2010 to gut the two-story former Belk store and expand it to {{convert|140,000|sqft|m2}} from {{convert|115,000|sqft|m2}}. The design includes reddish brick, a cupola and columns to echo Georgia and the South. The store opened November 2011.[4] The former Parisian store converted to a 12 screen AMC Theatres featuring a MacGuffins bar, Recliners, Coca-Cola Freestyle, IMAX & ETX in September 2012. In recent years the mall began to face competition with many mixed use developmemts, particularly Avalon. Sears closed in June 2018.[3] Sears is set to be demolised and will be converted into a park and mixed use development. CarouselA carousel that sits behind a floor-to-ceiling window in the food court was crafted in Brooklyn, New York by the Fabricon Carousel Company. The carousel's hand-painted fiberglass animals were modeled after those of a vintage Victorian carousel on Coney Island. It was shipped to Atlanta in December 1992 (originally to be displayed in the Perimeter Mall) and sat in a warehouse near Duluth, Georgia for 8 months. On August 1, 1993, it was brought to the then uncompleted North Point Mall, and was assembled in a huge, unfinished, high-ceiling room that is now known as the Food Court. Shoppers saw it operate for the very first time a few weeks after the grand opening. The carousel was supposed to have been the centerpiece of the mall; however, due to a broken part it did not operate until a few weeks after opening day of the mall.{{citation needed|date=May 2012}} References1. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.brookfieldpropertiesretail.com/properties/property-details/north-point-mall.html | title=North Point Mall | publisher=Brookfield Properties Retail Group}} [4]2. ^{{cite press release | url=https://investors.thecheesecakefactory.com/news-and-events/news-releases/news-release-details/2004/The-Cheesecake-Factory-Opens-in-Alpharetta-Georgia/default.aspx | title=The Cheesecake Factory Opens in Alpharetta, Georgia | publisher=The Cheesecake Factory | date=June 29, 2004}} 3. ^{{cite news | first=Hayley | last=Peterson | title=Sears is closing 42 stores in 26 states — here's the list | url=https://www.businessinsider.com/sears-kmart-stores-closing-list-2018-4 | work=Business Insider | date=May 19, 2018}} 4. ^1 {{cite news | first=Arielle | last=Kass | title=Von Maur department store chain to enter Atlanta market | url=http://www.ajc.com/business/von-maur-department-store-737750.html | work=The Atlanta Journal-Constitution | date=November 12, 2010}} }} External links
