An abandoned complex named Gwinnett Place Mall acts as the Starcourt Mall.

As the Stranger Things team faced renewal after renewal, the storylines began taking the fan-favorite characters away from Hawkins and to other areas.
The fourth season of the show saw Eleven and the Byers family move away to another fictional town named Lenora Hills, which is centered in California.
For the characters' new life in a new city, production and photography were held in the New Mexico towns of Albuquerque and Lunas.
The non-fictional school of Eldorado High School was utilized to bring the make-believe Lenora Hill High School to the small screen.
While the different plot developments brought one part of the crew to California and left behind the other half in Hawkins, Russia took Hopper captive and held him in the Kamchatka Prison.
Despite the Kamchatka peninsula being an actual place in Russia, the scenes were not filmed there.
The Russian subplot of the program's fourth edition was shot in Lithuania.
Lukiškės Prison in Vilnius acted as the setting for Hopper's imprisonment and Kyviškės was the principality where the airport scenes were filmed.
Where will Stranger Things season five be filmed?
Regarding the production of Stranger Things season five, the Duffer Brothers revealed that most of the events will be centered back in Hawkins, which could result in more shooting locations in Georgia.
Matt and Ross Duffer told : "It's mostly in Hawkins, and there's a lot obviously in the Upside Down.
"I think one of the things that's exciting about Season 5 is [that] Season 4 was interesting to us because everyone was scattered to the winds."
The sibling duo shared: "That's what was unique about it. But this is about everyone finally coming back. "Coming back together, coming back to Hawkins. Hopper is back in Hawkins. The original group [is] back together."
