The LEGO group, one of the world's best-known toy manufacturers, is thrilled to announce the grand reopening of the LEGO store on March 16 at Discover Mills, Atlanta's largest outlet, value retail and entertainment destination. The LEGO store will now be located near The Disney Store and Gymboree Outlets and raises the bar in innovative displays, in-store family events and shopper-friendly play areas.

The "Living Room" is an interactive play area prominently positioned in the center of the store and finally a "Brand Ribbon" runs the circumference of the store, featuring LEGO model displays, company history and fun facts to entertain guests. In addition, other in-store features and experiences include Master Builder Bar, Monthly Mini Model Build Classes, LEGO Club Meetings, V.I.P. Program and Shop & Ship.
