Hey Guys! I’m Donna Taylor, your local Madison MS real estate broker and resident of Madison MS for over 20 years. In today’s video I’m highlighting the best spots for shopping in Madison! I will be ranking the 3 best places to shop in Madison. And I have to admit, it’s probably not going to be what you think!
If you google shopping malls in Madison, MS…you’re likely to come up empty handed…and that’s because there are no true “malls” in the city of Madison. I know, this is frustrating to me too! I love to shop, but have no fear, there is plenty of shopping nearby. The city just south of Madison is Ridgeland. It’s still in Madison County and less than a 10 minute drive from the city center of Madison. Ridgeland is where most people in Madison go to shop! So, in no particular order, here are my top 3 picks for shopping!
1. First up is Renaissance Mall…Its located a stones throw off of interstate 55. This is an outdoor mall that has some of the prettiest fountains and landscaping around. Renaissance Mall is my favorite place to dine and shop. There’s several restaurants here, most of which would be considered fine dining, but there’s some casual spots too. There’s also an Apple store, Barnes and Nobles, Sephora, Orvis, American Eagle, and Anthropologie just to name a few. There’s several women’s and teens dress shops to satisfy most any shopper and a Fresh Market Grocery Store. There’s also a movie theatre here that has a pretty cool fountain show out front. It really is something to see at night!
2. Next on the list is Northpark Mall on County Line Rd, also in the city of Ridgeland. Northpark mall was built originally in 1984 as a premier shopping center to outshine MetroCenter Mall in Jackson which was starting to decline. Northpark is your typical indoor mall that has several large anchor stores, which are currently Dillards, Belk and JC Penney. The mall has changed ownership recently and has undergone a face lift. There are lots of store inside, but probably not any names that you might recognize like there are at Renaissance Mall. There is also a food court and a movie theatre at Northpark Mall.
3. The third one was a little harder, because honestly, there’s lots of smaller shopping areas that aren’t considered malls to choose from. But, if I had to pick a 3rd, I’m going with one that is actually in the city of Madison, which is the Forum at Grandview. This is also more a strip style shopping center, but it’s a little more high end then a lot of strip malls. Some of the retailers to note are Dicks Sporting goods, Best Buy, Ulta, Home Goods, and Petco. There’s also a movie theatre here. There’s plenty of dining here too and right down the street is a Sams Club and a Walmart!
So, While there’s no Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom in our area, we really do have plenty of other options. Today, I mentioned all the larger chain stores around, but there’s actually a plethora of small boutiques that are great options too! I love to visit these shops for gifts or something special for any occasion. Don’t forget to shop small yall!
There’s also plenty of other large big box shops in Madison County that are conveniently located like the Costco! It’s located in Ridgeland and just completed construction about 2 years ago! So that sums up my shopping, if you have any questions, drop a comment below! I’m happy to answer!
