Events: House Of Hoops Atlanta Grand Opening Event Tomorrow

Last year around this time there was a BIG rumor that Foot Locker was finally opening up a House Of Hoops location in Atlanta. The rumor as I remember it was, there was going to be a new HOH location inside South Dekalb Mall (Decatur). Then the rumor switched locations, and Greenbriar Mall (Southwest Atlanta) became the intended target.

Then suddenly the rumors dried up. No House of Hoops ever opened in either mall, or in ATL, and all the attention shifted to the new NYC HOH location in Roosevelt Field and later to the new store in Miami.

A lil birdie told me about a month ago that there was going to be a House Of Hoops (HOH) opening in the ATL area and that it would be launching in Southlake Mall this summer. I must say I did NOT believe the news when I heard it.

Well it turns out it’s true. The Shoe Game leaked the info a few weeks back about the soft launch opening of the store. Now the grand opening info has been made public. The grand opening will take place tomorrow (Tues) at 2:30pm. 2pm on a Tuesday? I guess it’s more unemployed sneaker heads and basketball junkies than I thought in the area.

Sooooooooooo I think it’s cool the city is finally getting a House Of Hoops, as it’s long overdue. BUT I’m also a lil baffled at why the location although called HOH Atlanta is in Morrow, GA? I haven’t been to Southlake in about 10 years. Unless you live on that side of town (South Suburbs), there’s nothing to go over there for. I’m not understanding why they couldn’t put this location somewhere actually IN Atlanta. *Heavy Sigh*

Oh well…

If you live on the southside or interested in making a drive, House Of Hoops (outside) Atlanta opens tomorrow afternoon.
