Hat shop files plans for Old Fourth ward.
Goorin Bros is moving forward with plans to open its first Georgia location in Ponce City Market (PCM).
A building permit application was submitted to City of Atlanta Monday to buildout suite C196 in the Old Fourth Ward redevelopment project.
An estimated $145,000 will be spent in commercial alterations to the 1,002-square-foot retail space for the hat manufacture.
Early January, Goorin posted an advertisement on Craigslist seeking a store manager (shopkeeper) for the soon-to-open PCM outpost.
Goorin Bros in Ponce City Market is expected to open in April and will open a second Georgia location in Savannah later this year, according to the hat maker’s website.

Do hipsters in the Midtown area have enough money to buy stuff like this? I’m curious how successful all these high end retailers at PCM are going to be.
It’s about time a REAL hat shop opened in Atlanta. And it’s about time men started to wear REAL hats. The ubiquitous baseball caps found on countless heads do absolutely nothing for a man’s appearance. Whereas, a Fedora……now we’re talking style. “Women go crazy for a sharp dressed man”. Take heed, gents.
