Reserve Your Parking Spot At Mall of Georgia With New App

BUFORD, GA — Tired of driving in circles around Mall of Georgia looking for a parking space? MyPark, a technology-based parking solutions provider,recently unveiled their on-demand, mobile, premium self-parking service for shoppers and visitors. The service began Friday.

The expansion will feature a total of 20 new spaces at a key location within the property, at an entrance by the Food Court and Pottery Barn. The MyPark app provides guests with the ability to choose a premium spot by the mall entrance with the simple touch of a button.

Spaces can be booked on demand or reserved in advance, through the app, for $3 for up to two hours and $3 each additional hour. MyPark-trained attendants are on-site during the launch period to help customers download and navigate the app and assist with any parking questions.

“MyPark’s expansion into the Mall of Georgia is a testament to the continued growth and success of the self-parking service,” said Luis Mayendia, President & CEO of MyPark. “The Mall of Georgia is known as a staple for many in Buford, so with the Simon properties team, we wanted to make the shopping experience was even more enjoyable with MyPark.”

This shopping center joins Lenox Square, another Simon Property in Georgia, and others around the U.S. that have implemented the unique parking amenity for guests, in which shoppers can reserve a prime parking spot both when and where they need it, directly from their smartphones. The solution eliminates the time and effort exerted driving up and down the parking aisles in search of an ideal spot near a desired store entrance.

Users can go to the usemypark.com website and click on the links to their respective app stores or download the app directly from the Android or iOS stores, register and tell the app where and when they would like to park. Then they choose the section they want (the best spot is selected automatically by default) and confirm their reservation. Once users arrive at their reserved space, they simply tap “Let Me In” on their iOS or Android device and the unique MyPark reservation device will lower to give them access.

“We are continuously looking for new ways to further enhance the shopping experience,” said Teresa Holloway, director of marketing and business development at Mall of Georgia. “By choosing to partner with MyPark, we are providing our shoppers with convenient parking options and ease of access to the center, which is a win for both our guests and retailers.”

New validation feature
Currently available at select malls throughout the country, MyPark will further enhance guest parking ease and satisfaction for mall shoppers with its new in-app validation feature. Retailers and restaurants can now offer their guests MyPark’s premium parking validations to drive more customers into their locations.

Guests simply park in a MyPark designated spot and visit a participating merchant, who will pay for their session. The system gives shoppers an incentive to visit a specific retailer and provides retailers a new way to reward their customers.
