Review of American Girl Store in Atlanta

Now that the Altanta store of American Girl has been fully up and running for over a year we thought we’d share some thoughts on how it is shaping up. 

Keep in mind that the Atlanta store is much smaller than the others with less stock in store.  There is no theater in Atlanta, but then again American Girl has closed live theatre performances in Los Angeles and New York and Chicago are on the chopping block.  The total square footage of the Atlanta store is smaller - which means the other stores (especially New York) have more to offer.  A meal at the American Girl Cafe costs 12 dollars less than NYC, which is great as the cafe in New York is pretty unaffordable.  At the price you won’t be disturbed that the meal is a little less fancier and does not include dessert. Generally, the NYC American Girl cafe feels more upscale and is a bit more isolated and “special”.  Both of the American Girl cafes (in NY and Atlanta) will provide a high chair for your child’s American Girl doll to join you at the table. If you don’t have a doll they will lend you one to share your meal with you.

Your child can have their doll’s hair done at (at the American Girl Salon) in both stores and the prices seem to be the same - about $20!

The Atlanta store does have some very  cute t-shirts for the girls to buy and “big girl” doll clothes to go along with the doll stuff

Overall, the American Girl Doll Store is Atlanta still makes for a great day out.  You don’t have to shop or spend money to have a great time with your daughter.  Emily Rose and I always “pretend shop” together by picking up one of the little “Wish List” wallets and wandering the store adding our favorite American Girl products.
