This large, modern shopping mall is very nearly a destination unto itself. Indeed, Carolina Place is one of the most popular places to shop in Mecklenburg County, and folks from the neighboring South Carolina counties of York and Lancaster also visit the mall frequently. Anchor stores include Dillard's, Macy's, Belk, JCPenney and Sears; in addition to those, Carolina Place also features more than 140 name brand specialty shops like Aeropostale, Abercrombie & Fitch and Godiva Chocolatier.
