Atlanta's Roswell Crossing / Roswell Mall

North Fulton County's first enclosed shopping mall was built on a parcel which, at the time, was outside the city limits of Roswell. Originally promoted as ROSWELL CROSSING, its original stores opened between October 1974 and April 1976.

Beneath the light roof, an enclosed mall occupies a second level. The first would remain unfinished, and open to the elements, for nearly 5 years.

Atlanta's Richway chain opened their ROSWELL CROSSING discount department store and supermarket in October 1974. An attached Auto Center was located in the south end of the store.
