Atlanta is known for its unique shopping experiences in some of its coolest locales, which can be exciting destinations for shoppers searching for those perfect items for their home, garden or closet. Head to these shopping districts for unique finds you're sure to love.

Ponce City Market

The historic Sears building on Ponce de Leon Avenue was revitalized as Ponce City Market in 2014 and is now a shopping and entertainment destination. At its core, Ponce City Market is a retail heaven in addition to being home to dozens of restaurants and a rooftop playground with carnival games and rides. Shop from big-name brands like Anthropologie, J.Crew, Madewell and West Elm, as well as local shops like The Village Retail, Citizen Supply and JJ's Flower Shop.

Krog Street Market

The Krog Street Market food hall also has a retail component. Shop the latest outdoor fashion from Patagonia, and pick up gifts and home decor at The Merchant. Pick up toys and treats for Fido at Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, and browse the aisles of craft beer and wine at Hop City.

Buckhead Village District

Shop for designer goods from top brands like Dior, Jimmy Choo, Hermès, and Veronica Beard, clothing, shoes, beauty products, flowers, gifts, and more at Buckhead Village District.
