GREENVILLE— Williams Sonoma, Lululemon and Pottery Barn are among several large businesses in talks to open at Greenville County Square entertainment plaza — along with membership-based dog park and bar, Fetch Park.
It's part of the massive, $1 billion redevelopment of the longtime government complex that was once a thriving shopping mall at the edge of Greenville’s West End.
Atlanta-based RocaPoint Partners, the real estate company heading up the project, already announced in late August that a bowling alley, golf simulator and Florida-based Mexican restaurant would join County Square’s slate of commercial tenants.

Whole Foods and Greenville-based, large-scale real estate lender Lima One were announced earlier this year as anchortenants.
Steve Yenser, who represented RocaPoint Partners in its lease transaction with Whole Foods, shared on his LinkedIn page merchandising plans with the names of several more businesses that could come to the redevelopment — which covers 37 acres and is expected to attract more than 1,800 apartments, one million square feet of office space and a 200-room hotel. The post has since been removed.
Merchandising plans are tentative until a lease contract is signed between two parties.

In response to questions about the merchandising plan, a spokesperson for RocaPoint told The Post and Courier that the company is "working diligently to bring exciting retail, restaurant and entertainment tenants that add to the inherent charm of Greenville. While our merchandising plan is conceptual and subject to change, we look forward to sharing more announcements about the diverse mix of tenants soon."
The company declined to comment about whether the merchandising plan had substantially changed since it was posted on LinkedIn.
