I recently visited this Nordstrom Rack location after moving to Charlotte, and overall, it was a…read moresolid experience. Nordstrom Rack has always been one of my favorite places to shop. I used to work at a full line Nordstrom years ago, so I know quality when I see it. That's why I love the Rack because you can always expect good brands at better prices than you'd find at the full line store. To some people, Nordstrom Rack still feels a little pricey for a discount store, but you really have to compare it to the original full line price tags. I live in the NoDa area, and I will say this location was a bit farther out than I expected, about 25 minutes from my house. I was honestly surprised that there isn't a Nordstrom Rack closer to the city. This one is more on the outskirts, which is fine, but it does make quick trips or exchanges a little less convenient. Yes, you can return items at the full line Nordstrom, but sometimes you just want to browse and see what's new. Parking here was easy, and the store itself was clean and well organized. Coming from Houston and then Florida, I wasn't used to seeing so many coats in stock, so that actually caught my attention. They had a big winter selection, and I ended up leaving with a super cute trench coat, a puffer jacket, and a couple of other cold weather pieces since I know Charlotte winters are going to be colder. The staff was about as friendly as you'd expect at a Nordstrom Rack, but they moved quickly, and the checkout line wasn't long. Overall, this location was consistent with the other Nordstrom Racks I've been to. No surprises, just the usual dependable Rack experience. I'd definitely return.

The store was very well stocked and clean. You didn't see much on the ground from items knocked down. The items I found were priced very well. No complaints.

She asked me about opening a store credit card and I told her no thank you. Her demeanor changed, lol! I mean I'm sorry that I don't shop here often enough but also store credit cards are too limiting! But anywho...nice experience here and I would return.

They have a small number of ground-level spaces and a decent sized parking deck, but it's difficult to navigate and even if the traffic is light, it is difficult to get through here and find a parking spot. 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.

I was here for Harbor Freight but in the past, I've also shopped at the Hatoya Japanese grocers. It's not a very busy shopping center, which also contains a Peruvian place, aerial fitness center, silk flower shop and more. Easy to access and clean. There are at least two entrances along Polk but no traffic light. It will be challenging to cross the traffic here so you'll need to time it with the light at Industrial Drive in front of the Mercedes dealer.

I was here for a Yelp event at Postino, but I showed up early enough that I had time to wander, and…read morehonestly I'm glad I did because this whole area is far more impressive than I realized. Ballantyne has been developing at a pace I clearly haven't kept up with, and suddenly there's this whole little district with a mix of restaurants, an outdoor amphitheater, a big open grass lawn where people can sprawl out or toss a ball, a playground tucked off to the side, and that general sense of activity that makes a place feel like it's actually being used and enjoyed rather than just built for show. Since I still had time before the Postino event kicked off, I walked down to Olde Mecklenburg for a beer. It was a bit too cool to sit outside in their beer garden, which is usually the move, so I settled inside and it was exactly the kind of comfortable, familiar brewery vibe that makes you want to linger for a second round even when you know you shouldn't. Parking is three hours free, which is generous for a place this busy, but you do have to register your car. If you stay longer they'll charge you, and if you don't register at all they'll be less than thrilled, so it's worth taking the extra minute to do it right. The whole setup makes it easy to spend an afternoon here without feeling rushed, which is probably why I ended up enjoying the pre‑event time just as much as the event itself.

Bring that experience to the newish suburban area of Ballantyne so folks and be outdoors and socializing. The problem is they fill it with mostly trendy sounding chains. Nothing original. The main benefit is Ballantyne residents don't have to drive to South End to satisfy a Flower Child craving (if that's a thing?). My assumption is that rents in The Bowl are astronomical so the aspiring small business cafes, coffee shops and bars will never have a chance.

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.
