Ha!!! All caps, I love it!! Again, the thread is "not" about Phipps. Never was. Its about Lenox and South Park. And you know what, we know you know that. That's why you keep bringing up Phipps.
I edited my post. The thread title is Lenox/phipps vs southpark. I gave you a list of all the stores lenox had. None of those stores on that list was from phipps. No lenox doesn't hav tiffanys and tommy. All those stores are at phipps without them lenox stills offers more than southpark.
And my point is still that people that shop for the finest things are frequently (weekly) in a city that sells such.
For example, Charlotte should not be cited that we have no Gucci or the Ferragamo - I have called their NYC stores when I (rarely) need a new pair of loafers and get them tax free and usually shipped free. So, cheaper than if we had a store in town (I'd have to pay sales tax).
If I wanted to buy a new Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar watch at $30K+ (depending on finish), why would I buy in CLT when I can buy from any large global city and skip the sales tax? Or just buy on a business trip and cheaply ship insured home and still skip on the sales tax.
In other words CLT still wins, if you are smart enough to know how to work the system (and use correct grammar and spelling).
But I still believe someone making $60K is living like a millionaire buying $275 sneakers every month and shopping at the stores you mention.
$60K does not afford such a lifestyle IMHO, unless you are saving 10-20% off the top in addition to your work 401K and have at least 6 months of living expenses in the bank.
Or possibly you are married to an athlete.
My [free] advice would be to save at your salary and not live so large.
Cash is king.
Stuff is fun, but there is no feeling like money in the bank.

You sound crazy. Don't tell me what to do with my money. if I want to spend my whole check on luxury goods I can do that. As long as my bills are paid I am fine. I make sure my priorties are taken care of first. If buying. 275 sneakers is living large then that's sad lol And like I said tomorrow is not promise. I'm going to enjoy life while I can .
Yeah those stores are everywhere.. Those are stores that every upscale mall may see. But here is a list which puts lenox ahead. South park stills has a way to go before catching lenox but i am not trying debate. in my opinion i dont see a comparison but with a few stores. here is about 28 more stores that Southpark doesnt have which is beyond whats at Southpark not to even mention whats at phipps

I am pretty sure that Gilly Hicks was just a rumor.
WHO CARES? We live in Charlotte and we shop in Charlotte. Whatever Lenox and Phipps have means not a hill of beans if you don't live in Atlanta. Comparing SouthPark and Atlanta shopping centers is as goofy as comparing SouthPark and Chicago's Magnificent Mile.

I do not live in Atlanta. I am much closer to SouthPark than Lenox/Phipps, and I feel that SouthPark does not even compare to Lenox/Phipps. What would they close for Gilly Hicks?

GH is a branch of Abercrombie-Fitch. Maybe they are gonna market the products differently and use space at AF. Who knows?

I remember when AF sold quality expedition and outdoor gear, not all that hip-hop teenybopper stuff.
