As the largest mall in the state, it attracts a broad demographic, from families and young professionals to tourists exploring the region’s growing entertainment and outdoor offerings. The center’s retail mix balances mainstream and aspirational brands, anchored by Dillard’s, Macy’s, and Belk, with key national retailers such as Apple, Lululemon, Sephora, and Dick’s Sporting Goods. Dining and entertainment play a major role in the mall’s appeal, with The Cheesecake Factory, P.F. Chang’s, and an IMAX theater helping to drive evening and weekend traffic.
