Lol Crabtree Mall is the epitome of lavish style and extravagance so I don't know what you're talking about

I hate A{sodEmoji.|}X too and I'm proud that there isn't one in Charlotte.

Is True Religion open already? It's listed on their website now.

Lol they also have 564 positions open in NY city alone.

Where does the rumor come from? Things can turn around quickly; the last I heard about Neiman Marcus is that it had an amazing grand opening and that they were planning a restaurant. I suppose the poor economy is the main culprit?

I'm definitely not conservative and yet I seem to be the only person here that's proud that Charlotte doesn't have an A{sodEmoji.|}X

The Southpark website says Michael Kors is open now. Has anybody had a chance to swing by yet?

^So I realize that may have sounded like a really negative comment and I didn't mean for it to be. I really enjoy living in Raleigh, I just would never have thought in a million years that a Neiman Marcus would even consider opening a store here.

That is difficult to believe. You mean for the entire company? Every time I've ever been in there it's been, well, dead. Where did you hear that? And I know it's not likely for Saks to relocate, but don't you think it's more attainable for Crabtree to pursue that rather than getting Neiman Marcus to open up shop? I mean, they already have a store in Charlotte so a Raleigh location would only further dilute the name. Not that Raleigh isn't a nice place to live, but I think "PhD" when I hear Raleigh, not "high fashion".

^Especially not at Crabtree. It's not a bad mall (well, as far as malls go), but surely it's very far from getting a Neiman Marcus. I think a more feasible option would be to convince Saks to relocate.

Neiman Marcus? At Crabtree? Am I the only one that thinks this sounds insane?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that Charlotte had a Bang & Olufsen at one point. Obviously, that is no longer the case.

Do we know how long it will take to open?

I think Michael Kors is a pretty big deal. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I went to the website and there wasn't even a listing for Atlanta. Is this true?

This may sound silly, but I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that Hermes and Neiman Marcus are there. Those are two (quite) large names in fashion, and it may lead people to delusions of grandeur, although it seems they're really catering more to a niche audience.
