    I am also very surprised SouthPark STILL doesn't have a Zara.  I would also personally like to see Uniqlo and Topshop/Topman which are my go-to stores for affordable everyday clothing.  Those are two of the few places I can consistently find slim-fitting XS shirts and 28x30 pants, and, although it's nice that we have a market for some luxury boutiques, I'd much prefer SouthPark add mid-range stores where most of us can afford to shop.  I agree Old Navy doesn't belong there, though.  Seems like a strange add, especially given SouthPark's recently-announced 'upscale' renovation plans and the fact that most new Old Navy stores are being built in lower-cost suburban strip malls.

    maybe they will get one soon Zara is going threw a major expansion.  Another flagship is opening in Soho  Houston is opening a second store. Dallas Texas is opening a second store at Northpark Mall. 

     

     

     

    I thought Nordstroms in Southpark has some top shop stuff?   I know they just opened 2 stores recently in Atlanta and Houston

    Upscale stores tend to go where other upscale stores are.   Even if uptown ends up with an 'urban' mall or just retail storefronts in general, SouthPark will be the upscale destination for quite some time.  However, in Atlanta, there are several areas.  Lenox Square/Phipps Plaza in Buckhead have always been the go to destinations for upscale shopping, but now "Buckhead Atlanta" formerly known as "The Streets of Buckhead" is becoming another hotspot.  I have a friend who will be working at the Davidoff Cigar Flagship at Buckhead Atlanta and told me that that shopping center has had a very delayed pop of business simply because of the recession.  A lot of their stores didn't open when they were supposed to.  In my opinion I think it's a lot easier when you have all the shopping whether upscale or inexpensive in one area.  In most major cities across the world (not necessarily in the U.S.), you will find that in city centers.  

    You are correct because Tom Ford isn't opening till next year.  Dior and a few others will open this fall The development isn't quite finished so I'm pretty sure a lot  of the stores that we're suppose to open probably will later on.

    I dont think it has anything to do with Charlotte not being able to support other high end stores. There just isnt anyroom at Southpark. Lenox and phipps were having this same problem. Certain retailers were eager to enter the market but there was no room. It took building a upscale shopping district to get certain brands like Christian Louboutin, Scoop NYC Moncler Helmut Lang etc. Lenox is going threw remerchandising also. There about to relocate some stores for the upcoming TopShop store and recently annouced Diane Von Furstenburg is opening at Lenox. Intermix is relocating from Phipps to Lenox.

    What Im really curious to know is why isnt a Zara, Club Monaco, or Diesel at Southpark they could have kept H&M and Marketed for a Zara instead.
