Shopping

For boutiques, start at historic downtown Belmont. You’ll have fun browsing stores like Jolie Boutique, Gigi’s Boutique, Surprise Me and Piccolo Antique Mall just a few miles from McLean.

For high fashion, head to SouthPark Mall in south Charlotte. You’ll find Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Apple and many specialty shops. Shopping for a bargain or back to school? You need not go too far with Charlotte Premium Outlets located just minutes away.

Time to shop for food and staples? Lake Wylie and Belmont are attracting great new grocery stores in Publix and Harris Teeter to serve the growing area.
