Mood Fabrics selects Ponce City Market for Atlanta showroom, outlining sample-driven store model and workshops

Mood Fabrics confirms Atlanta destination inside Ponce City Market

Mood Fabrics, a textile retailer known for designer fabrics and sewing supplies, has identified Ponce City Market as the site of an upcoming Atlanta showroom. The space is expected to open in spring 2026, placing the company inside one of the city’s highest-traffic mixed-use retail hubs at 675 Ponce De Leon Ave. NE.

The planned Atlanta site is positioned as a showroom rather than a traditional fabric store stocked with full bolts. The company has described the format as a smaller-footprint location designed to let shoppers handle and compare materials in person, then place orders through its e-commerce platform for fulfillment.

A “showroom-first” approach: samples on-site, ordering online

The Atlanta location is expected to be roughly 1,500 square feet and feature more than 8,000 fabric samples available for browsing and touch. The store model is designed to address a common barrier in online textile shopping—evaluating color, drape, and hand feel—while keeping the broadest inventory centralized online, where the company says it carries tens of thousands of products.

In addition to samples, the showroom is expected to carry sewing supplies and notions for immediate purchase, aligning the location with practical needs for local makers while maintaining online ordering for larger fabric yardage selection.

Programming and community use planned alongside retail operations

The company has indicated the Atlanta showroom is intended to operate as more than a sales floor. Planned programming includes sewing meetups, workshops, and seminars, reflecting a strategy that treats the physical store as a community gathering point for designers, hobbyists, and students.

The showroom concept is intended to support in-person discovery and learning while integrating purchases into the company’s online operations.

Atlanta joins broader expansion beyond legacy flagships

Mood Fabrics operates flagship stores in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, and Houston, and has signaled additional expansion into “concept” locations. The Atlanta showroom is part of that next phase, alongside plans for a similar Chicago location.

The timing also comes as the U.S. fabric retail landscape continues to shift, with retailers and independent shops increasingly leaning on smaller showrooms, classes, and events to build repeat visitation. For Atlanta’s sewing and fashion communities—from independent designers to cosplay and costume makers—the Ponce City Market location would add a centrally located, transit-accessible option for hands-on textile selection.
