BIRMINGHAM, AL (April 8, 2026) – Retail Strategies, a national retail recruitment and economic development consulting firm, has been selected by the City of Mableton, Georgia to assist with retail recruitment on behalf of the city. The partnership marks a significant step in Mableton’s efforts to attract quality retail options for its growing community.
Incorporated in 2023, Mableton is one of Georgia’s newest cities and home to three major business corridors, Six Flags Over Georgia, and Wellstar Cobb Hospital. The city is actively working to close retail gaps and bring new business options to its residents.
“Partnering with Retail Strategies gives us a dedicated team working on our behalf to connect Mableton with the retailers our residents are asking for,” said Artie Jones, Director of Economic Development, City of Mableton. “This is an important step in our work to build a stronger, more complete commercial base for our community.”
Retail Strategies will work to identify and recruit retail concepts that align with Mableton’s community priorities, including addressing food access gaps, expanding full-service dining options, and activating commercial areas outside of the city’s established business corridors.
“Mableton is a compelling infill and redevelopment market with strong potential for thoughtful retail growth,” said Mill Graves, Vice President of Advisory Services at Retail Strategies. “There are underutilized commercial areas in key parts of the city that present real opportunity for the right mix of retailers, restaurants, and neighborhood-serving businesses. We’re excited to help position Mableton for investment that adds value for residents and supports the city’s long-term vision.”
Retail Strategies partners with cities, counties, and economic development organizations across the country to drive retail growth and commercial vitality. To learn more, visit retailstrategies.com.
