About
In 1969, Phipps Plaza opened as the first multi-level mall in Atlanta and was aimed to become the South's leading upscale and premiere shopping mall. Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor were added as anchors to this upscale plaza. It was not until 1992 with a $140 million renovation and expansion that Phipps gained its third anchor, Parisian, a midscale department store prevalent in the south. In 2004, Lord & Taylor store closed its doors after nearly 35 years of operations when the company exited the Georgia market. The store was completely renovated to make way for Atlanta's third Nordstrom that opened in March 2005.With more than 100 speciality shops, Phipps Plaza is the most upscale southern shopping mall in the United States and one of the most upscale in the nation. Phipps gained national prominence with its exclusive lineup of luxury stores, many unique to the entire southern region of the United States.
