Arbor Place Mall, the only mall directly serving the western suburbs of Atlanta, is located in Douglasville, GA in Douglas County. Originally opened in 1998, the mall was to open originally with Dillard's, Parisian, Sears and Upton's. Current anchors include Dillard's, Parisian, Sears, JCPenney and Macy's. The Upton's chain folded prior to the opening of the mall, but the contract to build the store was still completed, resulting in a vacant anchor when the mall opened. This vacant anchor was later filled, however, by JCPenney. This article is about the state capital of Georgia. ... Douglasville is a city located in Douglas County, Georgia. ...
