Perimeter Mall is an upscale shopping mall in Perimeter Center, Dunwoody, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, near the interchange of Interstate 285 (the Perimeter) and Georgia State Route 400. It is the second largest shopping mall in the state of Georgia, the largest being the Mall of Georgia in Buford, Georgia.

The mall is anchored by Dillard's, Nordstrom, Von Maur, and Macy's.

Perimeter Mall is different from other shopping malls in Atlanta in that it includes open-air shops, upscale restaurants, and salons, connected by gardens and paths. It also features valet parking.

It can be accessed by MARTA's Dunwoody station, which opened at the southwest corner of its parking lot in 1996.

History

Perimeter Mall opened in 1971 and was the fourth mall to open in DeKalb County, after Avondale Mall in 1964, North DeKalb Mall in 1965, and the Gallery at South DeKalb in 1968. Its original anchor stores were Rich's and JCPenney, which made it very similar in design and layout to the nearby Greenbriar Mall. Perimeter Mall was the first mall in metro Atlanta to be located outside of I-285.

In 1977, the first Great American Cookie Company store opened at the mall.[3]

In 1982, an additional wing that included a Davison's was added. This gave the mall a T shape.

In 1998, the mall was expanded again.[4]

In February 1998, Nordstrom opened its first location in the Southeast, a 230,000 square foot store in the mall.[5]

JCPenney left the mall around 2002, and the store was demolished to make way for a new Dillard's, which opened in 2005.

Urban Shopping Centers sold the mall to The Rouse Company in 2002. It was sold to General Growth Properties in 2003.

On January 4, 2012, Bloomingdale's announced that it would close its location in the mall. On January 5, Von Maur announced that it would take over that location and would set up its second location in Georgia at the mall.[6][7]

In 2013, the food court was renovated and a Chipotle Mexican Grill was added.[8]

In 2015–2016, the mall underwent renovations including new ceramic flooring, new lighting, modern seating areas, updated restrooms and new signage. Some of the mall's original 1970s decor was replaced.[9]

In March 2016, the Pinkberry location in the mall closed. It had opened in 2014.[10]

In March 2017, the Bebe Stores location in the mall closed.[11]
