ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Avalon, the $1 billion mixed-use community in Alpharetta developed by North American Properties (NAP), will soon welcome four new retailers: Onward Reserve, High Country Outfitters, Restore Hyper Wellness + Cryotherapy and Tempur-Pedic.
Less than two months after launching Better Together, NAP’s company-wide COVID-19 response program designed to make the destination safe for the community’s return, 93 percent of Avalon’s retailers are open and experiencing higher than expected foot traffic and sales. Over Memorial Day weekend, the majority of businesses were pleasantly surprised by their numbers. Free People outperformed sales by 10 percent compared with sales last Memorial Day. Others like Peter Millar, Marmi and Antico are competitive, hitting sales within 80-90% of last year’s numbers.
