Shopping in Mobile?

[downtowndoll]

Although there is an outlet mall at Gulfport (I-10 intersection with Highway 49), it's terrible. It does have a Sak's 5th Avenue outlet but nothing that great. My family lives all over the MS Gulf Coast, and they all come to Mobile to shop. Shopping is the pits over there. Except for DeeDee's dress shop (formal wear) in Ocean Springs.


The outlet mall in Foley, which I think is pretty good. There is a big outlet mall(pretty good) east of Destin, but Foley's is closer and better. I'm not familiar at all with Pensacola.

For shopping, Mobile and Pensacola will be pretty much the same. I live an equal distance between the two cities, so it's usually a toss up for which one I will go to.


Bama's Port, I didn't know about the Costco. Thanks for letting me know.

What about if you want to spend a nice day cruising shops that are nicer than the ones you mentioned...is there a fabulous section of mobile where you can shop boutiques and have lunch in a cafe..etc? Not discount shops, but a really fun afternoon out, shopping an upscale area of town?

Eastern Shore Town Centre( Spanishfort). 10 to 15 min rive from downtown mobile. There is another upscale area in the Mobile area which is a called Saltaire but it`s inthe building stage right now.

Eastern Shore Centre, located at I-10 and Malbis Plantation Pwky, is a pretty good upscale shopping center. If you don't want to drive all the way to Spanish Fort, there is a smaller upscale lifestyle center located in the Springhill area of Mobile called Legacy Village. Legacy Village and Eastern Shore Centre feature many of the same higher end retailers.

You could try downtown Fairhope, as well.
