Eastside Golf Opening First Store in Atlanta’s Phipps Plaza
Tuesday, October 20th, 2026
Who says you can't go home again?
On Oct. 30, Eastside Golf will open its first flagship in Phipps Plaza in Atlanta. The company's founders, Olajuwon Ajanaku and Earl Cooper, met at Morehouse College in Atlanta, where they won a national golf championship together in 2010, and created Eastside Golf, which was named after East Atlanta where Ajanaku was raised.
So it's fitting that the brand's first permanent store be in that city. It replaces a pop-up in the center that opened last month.
Cooper, head of business development and partnerships, said: "Atlanta is where Olajuwon and I first connected back in 2008 at Morehouse College, so opening a store here is a full-circle moment. From donation to local community to establishing a physical presence in the city, Atlanta has always been part of our story. But our vision goes beyond retail. We see this store as a platform to build meaningful partnerships, continue to create opportunities within the community, and introduce more people to the game of golf. It's about building something that has a lasting impact, both culturally and commercially."
