Shops Around Lenox

The Shops Around Lenox is one of my favorite places to shop in Atlanta. Need some retail therapy and want to avoid the mall? Look no further.
Lululemon, Deka, Kendra Scott, Gill’s, American Apparel, Fab’rik, Crate & Barrel. You can get workout gear, go out clothes, furniture, and alterations in one stop. Some of the shops aren’t worth it (oh hey Tootsies with all of your basic clothes and incredibly unhelpful salespeople). There are also several dining options. I’m currently obsessed with the holiday pop up shop Waiting on Martha. It’s a whole store of adorable stocking stuffers/​hostess gifts for him and her.
As for all of these negative reviews about getting your car booted, REALLY? There are signs everywhere not to park at the Shops Around Lenox if going to Lenox Mall. I thought this was common sense anywhere in Atlanta to not park where there are signs threatening to boot.
Shops Around Lenox is a Buckhead gem with something for everyone. Consider me a huge fan.

What idiots.
I was going to park here and go to a shop in the mall AND go to Crate and Barrell (in shops around lenox). I’ve done exactly that a number of times before but today some Shops around Lenox parking flunkies threatened to give me a ticket if I went anywhere other than a store in Shops around Lenox.
Guess where I won’t be spending money?

I’m a native of Atlanta, and it is still funny to me that people will park in this location and then walk over to Lenox Square and act like they are shocked that their car has a boot on it.
There are at least 3 signs in the parking lot that say, do not leave your car in this lot. I’ve never seen the people that are rumored to hide in the parking lot to watch you park and leave, but I will say that I’ve seen people with that why is the boot on my car look more than a handful of times.
Yes, Lenox Square parking is a nightmare, but this shopping area is no better, it can get crowded too.
At this time there is a Sprint Store, Crate & Barrel, a furniture store, a Yoga store and a couple of shoe stores along with several other shops in this shopping center.
Learn your lesson the hard way and it will cost you $ 75 to get that boot removed. CASH!

Great shops and people that work in them.

This is one of the sleaziest shopping centers that you could possibly choose for shopping. They have guards posted in various areas of the parking lot for the sole purpose of booting your vehicle.
If for example you choose to have a bite at Dantanna’s which is one of their restaurants, and then go accross the street to Lennox Square, they will observe you walking from the lot and boot your car.
Unlike Lennox Square, they do not have either the fortitude nor the apparent resources to warn you or to guide you to appropriate parking places.
Unfortunately this little strip center chooses to gutlessly sneak to your car, with a boot placed under their jacket and hide behind other cars in order to boot unsuspecting customers.
I will no longer patronize *any* of the merchants of this center. I don’t respond well to gutless thugs.
I was with Friends at Dantanna’s. One of the «guards» booted my car.
Upon leaving the restaurant and finding the boot on my front wheel. I called the police. I then went back into the restaurant and advised the management that their parking lot guards were booting their customer’s cars. Next, I went to the guards hiding near one of the stores at the back of the lot. I advised them that I was a customer at Dantanna’s, and that I had called the police. Further, if they did not remove the boot from my car, I would have them arrested for unlawfully detainment. The guards refused to remove the boot, and asked me to leave the lot.
After the police arrived, I showed my receipt from Dantanna’s to the police. I asked that the guards be placed under arrest for unlawfully detaining me. The officer and the guards talked and after about 2 minutes, the officer told me that he had advised them to remove the boot. The guards removed it, and unapologetically returned to their post, intimidating and robbing other customers of the center.
If the operators of the center want to ethically stop people from parking in their lot and crossing the street to Lennox Mall, they should approach those seen parking in a way that offends them and notify the persons that thier car will be booted if they leave it there. Sneaking around and gutlessly hiding until people leave, then booting the car and extorting them for $ 75.00 is a shameful way to conduct business.
