Tiger Town is a 130 acre shopping center located in Opelika, Alabama. Established by Newton Oldacre McDonald, its first stores opened in 2004. Tiger Town is a major regional shopping center, with over 1 million square feet of retail, restaurant, and hotels.[1][2][[3]
Anchor stores are Target, Home depot[4], Kohl's, and Kroger. Junior anchors include Best Buy, Office Depot, Ross Dress For Less, T.J. Maxx, Petco, Bed Bath & Beyond, Dick's Sporting Goods, Old Navy, Books-A-Million, Hobby Lobby, Cost Plus World Market, and Party City.[5]
History[edit]
In 2002, Newton Oldacre McDonald, LLC approached the city of Opelika about developing a retail center just north of I-85 and Highway 280. The commercial development firm, with offices in Nashville, Tennessee and Prattville, Alabama, sought the city's help in incentivizing the new center, and the city agreed to build the public infrastructure for the project. The result of the partnership was over 1 million square feet of retail space, (excluding hotels, office and banks) and nearly 20 restaurants. The shopping center filled a major void in the area, which had lost a significant number of retailers to neighboring Auburn in prior decades. Tiger Town celebrated its 10th year of operation in July 2014[6]. Looking back, Opelika Mayor Gary Fuller credits the center[7], along with other adjacent businesses spurred by the retail momentum and continued infrastructure investment, with strengthening the tax base to a point that allowed Opelika to navigate the economic difficulties of 2008 and 2009. Throughout the recession years, Opelika never had to cut any employees, or cut salaries or services, like many similar towns. The retail sales tax generation also meant a great deal to core city services, including Opelika City Schools.
