I wouldn’t be surprised if markets that have Balenciaga stores but not one of Kerig’s other brands will switch over to let the brand enter the market
Is there going to be a wave of Balenciaga closings?
Are they getting canceled over their ties with Kandolf Wetsler or are people simply no longer into Mugatu’s Derelicte and $1,000 rubber boots Tractor Supply sells for $10?
This random article was popular for some reason. Best shopping cities USA
1. SF
2. Seattle
3. Charleston
4. Vegas
5. LA
6. Chicago
7. NYC
8. Portland
9. Houston
10. Minneapolis
Terrible list regardless of what they were using to measure.
Minneapolis, where stores are closing left and right due to crime, everything of value is kept behind seven seals and wallet inspections and car window durability testing is a widespread phenomenon, is #10 shopping destination in the US ahead of cities like Boston and DC? Whatever the author of that article is smoking, he needs to share!
Jackson, MS has some neat shopping centers and districts.
Highland Village is an open-air shopping center built around open air courtyards. Recently they've added a number of new local restaurants that have outdoor seating spilling out in the sunny, breezy courtyards. They have tried to keep all the stores as either locally owned or national brands that can't be found anywhere else in the region. It's hard to beat as a place to shop because it feels comfortable, upscale, and authentic.
The Renaissance is an outdoor mall that is similar to many of the new ones being built across the country that all seem to have the same stores (Apple Store, Anthropologie, Brooks Brothers). That said, the Renaissance is prettier than most that I've seen, attempting to create the feel of a shopping street in a small down in France or Italy. It's a nice size, blessedly not overwhelmed with department stores or other giant buildings. Recently they've been replacing chain restaurants with locally owned higher end restaurants to give it a more genuine community feel. It's hard to beat as a place to shop.
Banner Hall is unique and centers around the beloved LeMuria bookstore along with several restaurants and high-end stores. Like the other two, it's small which makes it a pleasure to visit and do your shopping. It centers around a large two-story open space with restaurant tables and places for patrons to meet up. Very authentic, very nice.
Fondren - Authentic neighborhood in Jackson's historic district with a retro, art deco 1950's Main Street vibe. This is where many of the city's favorite local restaurants are located.
District at Eastover - Another one of those brand-new mixed use developments that is designed to create an authentic sense of place. They succeeded. The architecture is sleek and modern but they wisely put a town green at the center, with restaurants spilling out onto the green from three sides. The restaurants are cool and stores feel very local and high end at the same time. Apartments, hotels, and offices are part of it also. Like the others, it's a delightful size, not too big at all, yet a cool, unique place.
Town of Livingston - This one is designed to look like it's been there since the 19th century, with historic style buildings that look real, and a town square. Again, not overly big and very authentic and charming. This one was built on the outer edge of the metro area where high-income residential homes are beginning to dot the entire area which until recently was quite rural. So it will be interesting to see how this one grows and develops over the next couple of decades.
Under construction are Downtown Madison, MS which is designed with architecture from Stockholm, Sweden. It's projected to open in 2027 and will include hotels, offices, housing, performing arts center, and city hall.
Also under construction is Waterpointe which is supposed to function as the downtown for Flowood, MS. The design looks really cool; it seems they are learning how to create a place that feels like an actual vibrant small city center.
