DEL.ICIO.USPaid Self-Park at Phipps
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
If you’ve been to Phipps Plaza lately (since Saturday), you may have noticed new signs for UpFront Plus!
It’s a new parking service at the P3 Peachtree Street entrance, just in time for the holidays.
For $4, you can self-park in one of 140 allocated spots and attendants will help you with strollers, packages, etc. Phipps says the service is great for holiday shoppers and shoppers with children.
For $7 plus tip, you can still use valet.
What do you think a busy shopper should do?

It’s a plus for attendants to help w/strollers and packages but the self-parking is just that….nothing special. It would be nice for them to increase security. Unfortunately, crime seems to increase during this time of year.

What a ripoff and another greedy scheme by Simon to make money. Phipps is too small a shopping center for 150 of the best slots to be taken. Charging for self-serve parking is an insult and an inconvenience to its long-standing customers, and totally unnecessary as valet parking is available. For just a few cents more, valet parking is a convenience; paid, self-parking is not.
