Ground Set for New Store to Replace Kmart in Snellville

Landscaping plans were reviewed by the city’s Board of Appeals Tuesday, putting into motion a plan to bring a new $1.2 million home décor store project to the city.

At Home, a 30-year-plus home decorating superstore company, has plans to occupy the Kmart on Wisteria Drive which has announced it is closing in the near future.

The 84,146-square-foot building will be remodeled and could be open as an At Home by July 2015, city officials said.

“From quirky to traditional, modern to exotic, we pride ourselves on having something for everyone,” a statement on the store’s website, www.athome.com, reads:

“Express your personal style by choosing from our expansive selection of patio furniture, home furnishings, wall décor and decorative accents, rugs and housewares.”
