Lots of parking and the place is quite well laid out to keep the traffic moving at the right speed. [Review 11568 overall, 1348 of 2019.]

Review for Charlotte Premium Outlets…read more After relocating to Charlotte from the San Francisco Bay Area, I've kept my same philosophy about shopping: retail prices are optional if you're willing to do a little homework. I'm always looking for quality and value without paying unnecessary markups, and this outlet center has been a very reliable place to find both. I needed professional clothing, shoes, and luggage for work, so I made the drive out here--and I found everything I needed in one trip. One of my best purchases was a beautiful piece of luggage from Travelpro at a great price. Many of the stores also offer additional discounts if you sign up for their rewards programs, which can make the savings even better. Stores I frequent most: * Banana Republic * J.Crew * Ann Taylor * LOFT * Saks Off 5th * Old Navy (very large location with great basics) * Le Creuset -- always fun to browse, even if just window shopping If you have the time to look carefully and shop strategically, you can really find high-quality items here at excellent prices. My personal shopping strategy: * I avoid weekends whenever possible * I park near the Saks entrance, especially along the back row where it's easier to remember where you parked * I shop during off-hours for a calmer, more efficient experience Parking overall is plentiful, and the layout is easy to navigate once you learn your preferred entry point. Another thing I appreciate is the atmosphere. In my experience, the staff across stores have been knowledgeable, polite, and helpful. The overall vibe feels practical and approachable--people are there to shop, not to show off. There are also plenty of restaurants and fast-casual options nearby, so it can easily become a full outing. If you're planning a larger shopping trip, using store hold or will-call services can be a smart way to keep your purchases secure while you continue browsing. As someone who pays attention to value and cost of living, I've found shopping in North Carolina--and the Southeast in general--to be refreshingly affordable compared to the West Coast. That difference alone makes places like this especially worthwhile. Bottom line: Easy parking, strong value, and a wide selection of reliable brands. If you shop strategically and avoid peak times, this outlet center can be a very productive and enjoyable place to find quality items at fair prices.

I've been here a bunch of times so I'm surprised that it managed to miss my reviews until now. Anchored by the Target in the center, the top end has the Regal cinema that used to draw a crowd but in the post-COVID era, who knows. Michaels, Ulta, GameStop, Harris Teeter are the main tenants in the big building but there are other structures that have professional offices, sporting goods, vitamins and supplements, restaurants, bubble tea and clothing. I think there are three Starbucks locations here plus fast food Wendy's, Chick-Fil-A, Firebirds, Smashburger, Nothing but Noodles and banks. The driving routes do a good job of keeping the higher speed traffic away from the areas where people are walking, so that's a good thing. And at Christmas time, this place is a zoo.

This cozy shopping center is tucked into the corner of Ballantyne Commons and Community House. It's…read morepacked with food options for the nearby office workers in this huge commercial area of Ballantyne. Another Broken Egg for that morning fix. Poke Bar, Ghengis Grill and Be's Noodles and Banh Mi make good lunch options for the slave-to-the-grind. Or round out the evening with sports on a patio at Gibson or Grape & Agave, a wine and tequila place. (Porque no los dos?) There are also some services including dry cleaners, shoe repair (don't see that often), nails and hair-dos. Not to mention a few schools of art and music which I think are aimed at kids. At the far end is a AAA for the ride. Getting in and out of here can be a bit stressful. Because of the location it's best if you're headed west on Ballantyne Commons when you leave out of here. Alternatively, north on Community House will lend itself to an easy out. I'm unfortunately not usually doing either of those, so I will suffer through U-turns and fast jumps out into traffic.

All it takes is one person to get into their car and suddenly, ten of us are all waiting for that one guy who stopped to wait for that space. Annoying as heck. I have given up on trying to find spaces on the ground floor and just go right to the parking deck. It's not worth it. Lots of great restaurants here and that's why I keep coming back.

Along with the Park Road shopping strip, this is a shopping strip that I've known the longest since…read moreI moved to Charlotte 20-25 years ago. Honestly, I used to hate it, given its cluster-***k, traffic-jam design...BUT, I'm happy to say that the place improved over the years. It now houses many cool places that I love, like Le Peep and Kung Fu Tea, for starters. I guess the strength lies in the numerous number of restaurants and eateries, including many ethnic varieties (from Japanese and Malaysian, to Cajun and Greek). The big minus of this strip is the lack of cool retail stores. There ARE some retail stores, but not so much in terms of boutiques. Also, again, the overall design layout is somewhat wild, random and awkward. One of the highlights of this place that many may not know is this lake - complete with fountains and ducks (see pics) - behind several restaurants, like Chili's. It's a great place to stroll around after a huge meal or a drink. Anyway, this is an old staple of South Charlotte...and I'm glad to see that it's still thriving!
