Empty Space.
Space Modern, a furniture store located at 805 Peachtree Street in midtown, is said to be closing July 15 after nearly 10 years in business.
Apart from the massive block lettering informing onlookers of their “40 percent to 80 percent off everything” sale, a sign posted on the door informs customers of their “special summer hours,” and “by appointment only” Sundays.
Insiders suggest that they have been on “borrowed time” with the landlord on rent and have lost many of the lines they used to carry due mainly in part to late payment and missed bills to suppliers.
When Space Modern’s owners were asked why the showroom was so empty, their claim was that they were in the process of relocating to west midtown (presumably the design district).
No documents have been filed with the city that supports this claim. Either way, all signs point in the direction of soon to be, empty space; something Atlanta is becoming all too familiar with.
