Ok as a shopaholic, I will open by saying this lovingly but informatively...things are more expensive here than at any other mall. Trust me I did the price shopping and if it's not a major promo like Victoria's Secret's 5 for $25 or something and it's the "retail" price...it's a little more. I'm not justifying it...it just is. Also, I would never go to SouthPark without make up on or my hair done. I don't know why but I feel the need to dress up...I just feel nerdy in my normal mall crawl garb. That being said I can continue.
The mall layout is a little confusing, but genius since sometimes you can go through a major department store to get to the other side as a shortcut. However, there are beautiful designer stores that close when they want to so you have to call before going. (Tiffany's is NOTORIOUS for closing for private events and Nordstroms closes for major sales.) It's clean and there is always a security guard near so you don't feel like it's an empty space where anyone can rob you. Parking is plentiful but I would park in the open parking lots near the food court because one year a lady ran into the parking structure and part of it collapsed....not that it would happen to your car because it's a million to one chance it would happen again but Murphy's law...ya know?!
But everything, I mean EVERYTHING is pretty much on the property. It's a great place to shop really. I'm a fan!
