Weeaboo? Did I hear somebody say Weeaboo?
The vacant Macy's department store at Gwinnett Place mall will be transformed into a giant Asian ethnic shopping destination, developer George Thorndyke announced Wednesday. Labels: China, Japan, Korea, local news
Korean retailer Mega Mart will lease the 240,000-square-foot space, at Pleasant Hill Road and I-85 in Duluth, for its first U.S. store, according to Thorndyke.
The plan does not affect the existing Macy's, which occupies space that formerly housed a Rich's department store.
The store's 75,000-square-foot first floor will serve as a grocery. The second floor will offer clothing, housewares and other department store-type goods, while the third floor will have a food court and event facility.
The move accelerates a trend of Asian-themed businesses in the Gwinnett Place area, including the Gwinnett International Farmers Market and other grocers, chasing an increasing number of affluent Asians and Asian Americans living in Gwinnett County.
Thorndyke said the store will also seek to cater to non-Asian customers, with products labeled in English and with English-speaking employees.
By the time the store opens in the spring of 2009, the former Macy's will have been vacant for nearly five years.
"We're excited about this, the mall's excited, the tenants out there are excited," Thorndyke said.

D-WAR is D-SUCK
Dragon Wars, also known as D-WAR, is a really shitty movie that somehow managed to get released in the box office rather than going straight to Sci-Fi Network. But it at least has a creative background.
See, the flick is Korean made but stars American actors and is in English (most of the time.) Costing 75 million, it pairs moderately good special effects with craptastic acting and completely inane storyline. Worse, these aren't really dragons, but rather a serpentine remix of the Asian dragon legends.
It just so very nearly misses a failing grade, but I seriously couldn't recommend going to paying full price to see it. Maybe not even a dollar at one of those DVD rental boxes at Wal-Mart.
Grade: D-
