Alton Mitchell

The finishing touches are being put on a new HomeGoods store in Columbus Park Crossing that will mark the first location for the retailer in Columbus as it will open its doors later this month.

COLUMBUS, GA- Columbus Park Crossing is set to get a new tenant that will open the doors to its first location in the Fountain City later this month. The store fills a void of more than 25,000 square feet that were left vacant after a former tenant closed the doors to its Columbus location as well as all other location across the nation.

A new HomeGoods store will open at 5550 Whittlesey Blvd Suite 700 at the end of this month. The HomeGoods location becomes the first location for the retailer in the city of Columbus and the second in the Chattahoochee Valley. HomeGoods opened a store in Auburn in 2022 in the Flint Crossing Shopping Center on Opelika Road across from Auburn Mall.

The new HomeGoods store will fill a 25,000 square foot void left in the massive Columbus Park Crossing shopping center after Bed Bath and Beyond closed their doors last year. Plans for the store began in late winter and work has been on going at the store over the spring and summer months.

According to HomeGoods the new Columbus store will open on Wednesday, October 30, 2024. A grand opening will be held between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. Details surrounding the grand opening celebration have not yet been released.

While HomeGoods is new to the Columbus market the parent company TJX has a strong showing across the Columbus market and currently operates two TJ Maxx stores in Columbus and one Marshalls store.

HomeGoods will open this new store on Whittlesey Blvd in Columbus in late October.

The Columbus Park Crossing Shopping Center has seen an influx of new retailers in recent months. This includes the opening of a new Floors & Decor store, which was also a new addition to the Columbus market. That retailer opened their doors in late June. The location became the 13th location in Georgia for the Atlanta based company. A 14th location is currently under construction in Austell, Georgia in southern Cobb County. The center also saw the addition of a second Columbus Spencer's location and Nothing Bundt Cakes opened their doors last year. A number of new businesses are in the works for areas around Columbus Park Crossing currently.

HomeGoods is a welcome addition to the Columbus market as local consumers have been pushing for new retailers to enter that market that are not presently in operation in the city. HomeGoods will welcome its Columbus area shoppers on October 30, 2024.
