| dbo:abstract | Plaza Fiesta is a 350,000 square feet (33,000 m2) shopping mall in DeKalb County, Georgia on the eastern border of the city of Brookhaven, on Buford Highway and Clairmont Road. The mall contains a large supermarket ("farmers market"), several large discount stores, and a large space filled with over 140 small vendors, modeled on a Mexican mercado or flea market. According to newspaper Creative Loafing, "to Atlanta's immigrant population, Plaza Fiesta has become as vital a shopping destination as Lenox Square or the Mall of Georgia." The mall opened in 1968 as the Buford-Clairmont Mall and included a movie theater. Tenants included Woolco which later became a Burlington Coat Factory. Later the mall became "Outlet Square" and included a Winn-Dixie supermarket. In 1996, new owners turned the mall into "Oriental Mall", modeled after a crowded Hong Kong street. In 2000 new owners spend $11 million to transform Oriental Mall into Plaza Fiesta. A Publix supermarket closed in 2005. Marshall's closed in the early 2010s as it opened a store in nearby Town Brookhaven. 2013 saw a number of openings at the plaza, including the Shoppers World discount store, Planet Fitness gym, and Ross Dress for Less. That same year, the mall reported over 4 million visitors. The mall attracts shoppers from as far as North Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. In February 2020, an Ollie's Bargain Outlet location opened next to the Planet Fitness location. (en) |
