By the mid-1980s, GREENBRIAR MALL was in dire need of an upgrade. An 18 million dollar indoor-outdoor face lift was done between January and November 1987. Twenty new stores were introduced to the mall, including a new Uptons (which replaced a vacant J.C. Penney).

With its late '80s renovation, the footprint of the complex remained essentially the same. A Circuit City was added to the northwest corner. One might note how different the names of some of the adjacent roadways are from those indicated on the 1965 plan.


The mall's west anchor opened, in August 1965, as Greater Atlanta's first full-line Penneys. After this store's September 1985 shuttering, the building housed an Uptons for 5 years. Burlington Coat Factory began business in September 1995 and closed for good in February 2019.
