Over the years, I've toyed with the idea of interviewing industry icons and having them share their thoughts and experiences in the Atlanta market.  I have a full time job in addition to what seems like a second full time job in this blog, and as such, have been unable to secure professionals to feature on the blog.  Fortunately, the success of the blog has attracted industry icons to the site and Willy Bitter was nice enough to sit down with me and answer a few questions.

Bits & Bites

Temporary Original Penguin and Carol's Daughter stores at Lenox Square

Invicta, a watch company, will open new stores in Lenox Square, North Point Mall and Mall of Georgia.  Hollywood, Florida-based Invicta Watch Group sells watches generally priced around a few hundred dollars, making them close competition in price to the likes of Fossil and Seiko.  In Lenox Square, Invicta will be located in a portion of the former Ed Hardy on the lower level of the mall, near Urban Outfitters.  I'm unsure of the exact locations the retailer will occupy within North Point and Mall of Georgia.  All three stores are slated to open later this fall.  Atlanta seems to be a popular place for timepiece retailers given the recent renovation of Tourneau at Lenox Square and the additions of OMEGA and HUBLOT at Phipps Plaza.
