App lets you reserve parking at Lenox Square

The "My Park App" lets you reserve a parking space at Lenox Square so you don’t have to drive around in circles looking for an empty spot.

“So I have space number 2. All I have to do is drive up tap the “let in” button and it lowers the device immediately,” CEO Luis Mayendia showed Channel 2’s Carol Sbarge.

The two founders of the app came up from Miami to show Sbarge firsthand how it works.

Right now, the My Park App has 32 spaces reserved near four entrances at Lenox Square.

“It's tailored specifically for that customer, that guest that wants the convenience. That doesn't want the hassle,” Mayendia said.

Shoppers were intrigued by the app.

“This parking lot gets full every year and you're circling the parking lot trying to find a space. Having one when I pull up is amazing,” shopper Kimberly Shunpert said.

With the app you can even reserve a space as far out as six months for peak shopping days. The company is operating in six states and plans to keep expanding.
