Enclosing Cobb Center
Ten years after the mall opened, Cobb Center stumbled over the opening of Cumberland Mall, a mall far superior in size and stores to the much smaller open-air mall. Cumberland Mall opened in 1973 and featured all of the major Atlanta anchors including Rich's, Davison's, Sears and JCPenney. Cobb Center just had Rich's. The owners of Cobb Center in reaction to the new mall was then quickly enclosed and one anchor was added to the center. The new anchor was Grant City, which flanked the northwest corner of the mall.
