. "Forget the gym membership. I'm headed to Concord Mills.\nYou know how people say to park a little farther from the front to get more exercise into your day? Well Concord Mills has given us the answer.\n\nThe mall has your typical outlet stores such as Old Navy, TJ Maxx, Burlington Coat Factory, Nike and Bed, Bath & Beyond. Lots of options for those looking to spend that hard earned money! \n\nGot a sweet tooth? Head over to Cold Stone Creamery or Cinnabon. \nWant a soft pretzel? How about Auntie Anne's or Pretzel Time?\nCan't shop without coffee? Now there are not one, but two, Starbucks in the mall. Just in case you parked on the OTHER side.\n\nSpeaking of the other side... really not kidding about those miles you're going to walk. It's like a track shape with a \"short cut\" in the middle. My advice for successful, time efficient shopping: Wear running shoes and a track suit. Get your work out and Christmas shopping done at the same time. Now THAT'S time efficient."^^ . "0"^^ . .
