Bed Bath & Beyond And Party City Coming To Oconee County's Epps Bridge Centre
The move leaves most of Athens Promenade vacant. Old Navy left that Atlanta Highway mall for Epps Bridge Centre in 2013.
Oconee County has issued a permit for a 39,000-square-foot building at Epps Bridge Centre to house both Bed Bath & Beyond and Party City.
The new building will be located to the west of Marshalls in the last open area in the central core of the strip mall that lies between the Oconee Connector, SR Loop 10 and Epps Bridge Parkway.
Bed Bath & Beyond and Party City currently are located in Athens Promenade on Atlanta Highway, less than three miles away from Epps Bridge Centre.
The departure of these two retailers from Athens Promenade will leave most of the nearly 133,000 square-foot-shopping center vacant.
Oconee County issued the building permit for the shell of the new building for the two retailers on Jan. 22.
Two days earlier it issued a build-out permit for 2,400 square feet in an existing building at Epps Bridge Centre for a nail salon.
