Layout and history

The mall's anchors are Belk, JCPenney, Sock Shoppe and TJ Maxx.[1][2] The mall is 233,000 square feet (22,000 m2) in size. Located 65 miles southwest of Atlanta, it is the only mall in its immediate region, which has a population of just over 250,000.[1]

The mall was built in 1979, in an area of the county that was generally undeveloped at the time, and was renovated in 2001.[1] The original name of the mall was "West Georgia Commons."[3] When the mall opened, anchors Belk and JCPenney moved from downtown LaGrange to the mall.[3] In May 2012, Belk announced that the store would undergo a $2 million remodel, the project was finished in October 2012.[4][5] In 2013, a TJ Maxx was announced for the mall.[6][7] In January 2015 JCPenney announced that it would shutter 39 stores in the U.S. which include the LaGrange Mall.[8]
