So, these people came into the city to this specific department store that the one guy had visited multiple times already. Why would they go that far into the city? It looked like from episode one that they were pretty much in downtown Atlanta. Certainly if people were looking for supplies, a suburb would make more sense.
In the books, that's actually a source of conflict. One of the characters wants to move away from Atlanta. The other one thinks that they need to stay close to Atlanta because that's where they have the best chance of being "rescued" by the government (because the government had encouraged people to congregate in the cities).

I'm not watching the shows, but that's the way the book presented it.
