I don't quite remember Home Goods being where Bed Bath & Beyond I do remember Gap, Gap Kids and Baby Gap being where the Panera Bread, Sears, and Fivespot Yogurt is today. Snellville really should spread its new stores towards where the new Hobby Lobby is as well as along closer to the lawrenceville area to ease congestion. Scenic highway after 5pm is a nightmare each day. I believe Best Buy should stay put and maybe a Furniture store like Ashley's, Rooms to Go, or Farmers can take that location. Also a Sports Authority or Dicks can come to Snellville. Carmike is suppose to be coming back to the Hobby Lobby area as well.Sheednomicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14108072291311006253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-56841277813806623382015-05-22T20:58:28.921-04:002015-05-22T20:58:28.921-04:00I also hope we do not have anymore Mexican restaur...I also hope we do not have anymore Mexican restaurants! I cannot believe in The Shoppes at Webb Ginn a taco place is going when I thought it was suppose to be a "higher end" center. We are overrun with these eating venues. I would love to see an S&S or some type of southern cooking restaurant open, even a Red Lobster would be welcomed. Just seems to be too many fast food places.

The homeowners that live in this area cannot enjoy having these businesses due to all the outsiders that bombard this shopping corridor on a daily basis. <br /><br />The tax base in Gwinnett, especially the southern end, is rapidly dwindling so these new national chains "investing" in the area are part of the short business cycle. In 10-15 years these sought after national retailers will move to the where the money is.<br /><br />I could name many national retailers and restaurants people would want, but what this area really needs is locally owned eateries and shops that will truly invest in and enrich the area.

When Party City left for Presidential Commons in the 90s, their Killian Hill store became a Dollar General and was that for many years, then it sat vacant for a few years after Publix closed, before reopening as a Tuesday Morning around the same time the Publix reopened as a Burlington store.

(Someone needs to remind city planners of the reason that trees and vegetation are planted alongside major hwys... reduction of stress / rage) And I don't even want to think about the ungodly amount of light pollution that this new shopping center will undoubtedly generate. Good luck stargazing after this is all built.<br /><br />I just don't see why they keep destroying beautiful land for the sake of "commerce", when there are plenty of suitable locations that already exist, just sitting vacant.<br /><br />What about the desolate center just a few miles down the road, where Hobby Lobby USED to be? Why is Snellville forcing residents to drive (basically) all the way to L'ville to enjoy these lovely new eyesores instead of filling already built, currently empty stores? Are they planning on just leaving that area as a reminder of how quaint this city used to be before the answer to everything was "just get a new one..."<br /><br />The city planning committee needs a swift kick in the.... and a trip back to the real world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-51734217331788064332015-04-09T18:26:14.963-04:002015-04-09T18:26:14.963-04:00Deer.

I do find it ironic that l'il old Sprouts had to come in from Arizona with one of their smaller stores, to convince larger, more local retailers that our area would have the desire for fresh, organic, and bulk foods.
