Whole Foods, Nordstrom, Home Goods (TJ Maxx, except all home), Johnny Rocket's, Joe's Crab Shack, Academy Sports and Outdoors, and Urban Outfitters.

Yes, I know most of these have already been mentioned..but they are ones I echo very loudly and ones I feel would be good in Huntsville and/or Madison.

I was going to say Nordstrom, but I know how you people are; y'all probably would have had a heart attack if I would have said Nordstrom. I agree with some of the previous posts about a Nordstrom coming to Huntsville. I feel that, if Huntsville can get a Dolce and Ketchup, then it can get a Nordstrom considering the fact that alot of people who move here except some form of upscale shopping like Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus.

Academy Sports is coming to the new Walmart on US72 between Balch Rd and Jimmy's:

Girl after my own heart!!!

I would love to see a Home Goods, as well as Nordstroms (please close all these Belks!!) and Whole Foods. Also, Academy Sports would be a welcome addition...I like them so much more than Dick's or Sport Authority (which is coming to Bridge Street).
I would like to see a California Pizza Kitchen and a Restoration Hardware as well. I also would love a Wolfgang Puck's Express....I talked to the manager of the one in Brentwood, and he said the owner of that franchise was considering opening one in our area!

All the "big business" aside, I also love the small businesses in our area...you can find some of the most unique things! So, keep in mind, we need to support our small businesses. I often find better quality for the same price or less than the large chain stores.

We will be getting a Bass Pro Shop at Sweetwater, whenever that happens.....it will be "the largest Bass Pro Shop ever built"...as each new one is!

[caution]

Phillips or similar quality seafood buffet. It would probably cost 40 bucks a head to eat there due to the distance the fresh seafood would have to cover, but I bet it would be crowded anyway, just like the Phillips in DC. Does that count as retail? If not, a higher-end wet market with fish, meats and veggies from all over....
