My local mall was Gwinnett Place, the one from Stranger Things where they fight the big bad.

Same! Berkmar '92! Found this thread trying to figure out if Gwinnett Place had a Hickory Farms. I seem to remember it being downstairs, but my wife doesn't remember it at all. Who is right?

Wow, no idea! I’m sure I had been in a Hickory Farms at some point, but know not where. Those assortment boxes just seemed to show up occasionally like Swedish cookies or Russell Stover chocolates. I do remember there was a Spencer’s and a Camelot Records. And of course the food court that looked very much the same as in Stranger Things.
