COBB COUNTY CENTER was the third shopping mall in Greater Atlanta. It was located in Cobb County, which lies northwest of the city center. The complex was anchored by the fourth branch of Atlanta-based Rich's. 

The original COBB COUNTY CENTER encompassed approximately 363,500 leasable square feet, with free parking provisions for 6,000 autos. The open-air mall was developed by a joint venture of Philadelphia's Food Fair Properties and Atlanta-based Rich's, although it did not feature a Food Fair grocery (its supermarket was a Colonial Store).
