A former Kohl's department store that stood empty along Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell, Georgia, for nearly a decade has been turned into an 80,000-square-foot church and multi-use event venue after a $28 million redevelopment project. "For years, Eagles Nest Church was a church without walls," Jenkins added. Future stages of the project, being developed with Regent Partners, are expected to bring Class A retail shops, restaurants, family-focused businesses and a dedicated childcare facility to the wider shopping centre.The conversion of the old Kohl's store reflects a wider trend in American suburbs, where communities and private organisations are finding new uses for large retail buildings left empty as shopping habits change.
