The new store will open at 1021 Edwards Ferry Road NE in the latter half of next year, occupying half the former space of department store Stein Mart, which declared bankruptcy and shuttered in 2020 as part of Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The space has been empty since the stein moved out, though Western apparel store, Boot Barn is scheduled to open in 12,000 square feet this fall.
