I think that Northlake Mall can hold it's own against South Park Mall. It has the major department stores: Macy's, Belk, Dillards, Dick Sporting Goods, etc. but it also has specialty stores inside such as Brookstone (which I hear is seasonal) and Sephora. Nice food court w/different variety of options. It used to have a Boarders Book Store but it closed down when the chain went bankrupt and so far they haven't put anything in it's place. All in all it's a pretty good mall and I like the fact that it's close to other shopping venues...Super Target, Best Buy, Lowes Home Good, and Off Broadway Shoes. Also, there's restaurants to eat at surrounding the mall: TGIF, On The Boarder, and Red Robin. So you can see that there is plenty to do in this area and that's why I like coming to shop here!
