They host a lot of different events and expos throughout the year, and check-in is always easy to find and from what I can tell, generally in the same spot. The only minor downside I've run into is when the escalators aren't operating. If you're trying to leave quickly and don't want to fight your way back through the vendor crowds, be prepared for a bit of a trek down the emergency exit stairs and through an empty floor or two. Other than that, the space is clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The staff does a great job keeping things running smoothly no matter how packed the event is.

The only thing they don't sell is fresh baked bread to go with that restaurant attire on their shelves. Trash can, pizza peels, chef aprons, citrus juicers, refrigeration units, sauce pans, delicatessen hardware - the list is long. Did I say fair prices? Do yourself a favor, whether you are an individual, or a business drop into this location and see what you have been missing out on for all the years you were driving on Highway 85 north and blinked your way pass the exit. Thank me later

Honestly, you should refer to Alex H.'s review, as it is spot on. I am throwing in my two cents,…read morebecause this place deserves it. It is not fancy; nothing like your local Williams-Sonoma, Sur la Table, or Crate & Barrel. But you may find things that you can't at those places. I think my first time coming here was 4-5 years ago. I am an amateur home baker and cook and after reading through blogs and scouring different websites dedicated to food, I get ideas to make new dishes. Some of these require certain receptacles or tools that I don't readily have in my kitchen cabinets (which are brimming with stuff, because I have insufficient storage due to apartment living... wah, wah, wah). Restaurant Equipment Market (REM) has saved the day for me, especially on occasions when I could not stand to wait two days for Amazon Prime to deliver reasonably-priced kitchen goodies to my home. I have gotten cake pans, a meat tenderizer mallet, candy thermometer, an awesomely wide stainless prep bowl, and sweet bread knife from this place. Today I spotted pots and pans and cutting boards that will most likely end up in my kitchen at some point. Some of the things here are not very attractive, so if your aim is to buy kitchenware that combines form and function and you have the budget for it, by all means, go to the fancy places and acquire all that you need. This girl who is always looking for holes-in-the-wall will not shy away from getting more things to help me further my kitchen sorcery.

Someone really needs to do a study on their marketing but for now, I'm just going to burn my lil candles. All B&BW stores are essentially the same on the visual level. I love that! You can always know what to expect, the stores are usually very organized, clean and just visually appealing. When I stepped into this Toco Hills location I saw that this store was the same as others I'd been in. When I visited, there were only 2 other guests in the store as well as employees. The employees were nice but a little standoffish which I'm so not used to. Luckily I knew what I was looking for and didn't have any questions, it was a pretty simple trip this time. With their great reward deals, sales and consistency in their brand, Bath & Body Works has definitely reminded me of why I've been a fan for so long.

This place caused quit a controversy when it was proposed, particularly from neighborhood…read moreassociations and a church adjoining the property. And I was prepared to join in on the protesting based on the developer's less-than-stellar reputation. However ... I think the shopping center has worked out quite well for everyone involved. Most everyone, anyway. Great selection of stores, the traffic to and from doesn't disrupt the local streets too much (they close off the entrance/exit by the church on Sunday mornings) and the parking is, well, not the worst. Helps if you make use of the entrance behind Lowe's and Target. Lowe's, Target, Kroger, Barnes & Noble, UPS, Five Guys, Best Buy: all places I shop. Major downside is some criminal activity that occurred in the below-ground parking structure recently. Hopefully, Atlanta's finest (who maintain a presence) and contract security have that in hand now.

The Edgewood Retail District is a big shopping center located just south of Little Five Points in…read moreeclectic Edgewood. It's the only large-scale shopping center of its type in the neighborhood and unlike almost any other development in the surrounding area because it's so suburban-like. The development opened in 2005, the same year as Atlantic Station in Midtown, around the peak of the last construction boom. About a decade old now, this shopping center is still in good shape. It's relatively nice and clean. There are multiple buildings, all made of brick, and plenty of parking including an underground garage. On weekends, it gets slammed, especially around Target. During peak periods, traffic on Moreland entering and exiting the property can test one's patience. Alternate routes include taking Caroline St. or even Hardee St. at the far south end of the district. Major tenants here include the aforementioned Target, Barnes & Noble, Bed Bath & Beyond, Office Depot, Best Buy, Lowe's, Kroger, and Ross. Several local/regional restaurant chains include American Deli, Figo, Willy's, Five Guys, Ru San's, Shane's Rib Shack, and Uncle Maddio's Pizza Joint. Most of the retail and dining options feel run-of-the-mill and generic, though there are a few highlights. They include the beehive, which is a boutique store filled with local, handmade items (apparel, accessories, housewares, jewelry, etc.) and Morelli's Gourmet Ice Cream (2nd location). I prefer the Morelli's in Edgewood over the original Morelli's nearby in Ormewood Park because it has the same great ice cream except indoors with more seating and air conditioning. While sprawling, the shopping center is very walkable with wide, evenly paved sidewalks. It's within 10 to 15-minute walking distances of two MARTA rail stations: the Inman Park-Reynoldstown station and the Edgewood-Candler Park station. Edgewood Retail District is a very practical/functional shopping center. It'd be nice to see more variety and uniqueness when it comes to tenants (less chains), especially considering this development is intown. However overall, it is A-OK. My only gripe with this shopping center, and it's a major one, is the lack of safety. That's the main reason for my two-star rating. In the last year or two, there have been brazen, violent crimes committed in the parking lot and in the parking garage. The physical assaults and/or robberies have occurred both at night and in broad daylight. The property owners/management need to do a much better job with the security around here.

Although I have a number of masks I wasn't wearing mine but I did maintain about double the recommended six foot distance. The sheep that follow the guidelines to the letter stare at those of us who aren't covered like we are secondary citizens or have leprosy hey news flash you don't intimidate me so back off lol. Don't take me wrong I fully respect the seriousness of Covid-19 but I don't trust everything I'm told (it wasn't necessary for everyone to wear a mask when they weren't available unless your were a health worker or first responser now that the supply has caught up with the demand it's fast becoming a requirement) is that how it works? Okay enough politics - I'm walking around this store in awe of how nice it is and it's so clean, so my mask off the to management team and employees here, this may be the best looking Kroger's I've ever been in. There appears to be some hoarding still in play, the meat section was a little bare and the toilet paper shelf was a little lean I think these items best represents the barometer of the pandemic panic. There are some tricks to shopping in this new age of paranoid behavior, as with most challenges there are a few things that will fix some of the negative trends - if someone is idled too long in front of the wine section for example, just give a few short coughs as you round the corner and they will give you some space and move along, these may seem a little extreme to some but I've experience a few pretty ridiculous stall tactic in front of the produce sections, come on people make a list and get in and out the days of trolling the aisles is over and please leave the kids at home with a sitter. Kroger's has made some adjustments with how their employees interact with the customers and they all seem reasonable so we should support our local business that have put in the efforts - I'd definitely return to this location. Ok so why four stars there is a rent a cop at the exit that asked to see your receipt and never looks into the cart - get rid of the Barney Fife want to be he's irritating...
