Went to Starbucks ...What is up with Phipps Plaza? <br />Went to Starbucks there and for a minute thought I might be in a peep show with the Agent Provocateur<br />store right across from the tight space there. I don't know what they are selling with their window display, but it is not supper. In a city that battles child trafficking, is this the message we want to send? Phipps used to represent high end retail, but I think they have sunk to a new low. The merchandise is one thing, that window is another. <br />I know I am probably in the minority on this, but good bye Phipps, with fond memories.

Not everyone in Buckhead makes 6 figures. Took a walk through Lenox the other day and it seemed like most stores were geared to appeal to the 1%. I guess the rest of us are better off at Target/Best Buy/KohlsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-7785350854657933142013-02-12T18:11:40.088-05:002013-02-12T18:11:40.088-05:00This is a MAJOR score for Atlanta, and I'm gla...This is a MAJOR score for Atlanta, and I'm glad that they've finally considered opening here. Christian Louboutin, Tom Ford, Carolina Herrera, and about 3 other elite names are missing from Lenox and Phipps. Once we get those, we'll be a true high end shopping destination.

I cant wait to see what fills the Carter-Barnes space - it's one of the best locations in the mall.<br />I've visited the Agent Provocateur in Vegas and it's a gorgeous store; I hope the Phipps location gets the same treatment.Midtownernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-78154074715857082072013-02-12T13:38:19.375-05:002013-02-12T13:38:19.375-05:00What's up with the turnover rates at Phipps, L...What's up with the turnover rates at Phipps, Lenox, and Perimeter? How can all these businesses justify the move-in and move-out costs? Is Simon (not at Perimeter, I know) constantly recruiting and then cutting deals so much that it's worth everything to setup shop for a year or two and then leave? And the same goes for all the yogurt and high-end burger joints. Not just "how" can they open and close so quickly, but also "why" go through the all the trouble? I realize it's part of what this site discovers and relates to us, but I guess this garish lingerie store pretty much triggered this thought for me: Why does everyone seem so content (and eager) to wh*re it out these days?Sammynoreply@blogger.com
