Carriage Crossing

This is a really good addition to Collierville. The mall is set up like an outlet mall but the prices aren’t so. There is a large variety of stores that you can drive directly in front of and hop in and out in a second. Bad side is if you want to do a lot of shopping, you’ll have to go outdoors a lot to store hop but it’s a really nice promenade area so not a big problem. Needs a centralized food court !!

I am a big fan of open air malls when the weather is nice. My wife and I enjoy strolling on the walkways and just browsing so at this mall we can do that without feeling stuck in the middle of a crowd. There are a wide variety of department stores to get what you need and just enough restaurants to choose from to fill the void when you get hungry. If there is one downfall it is the fact that they play awful music.

This was my first time coming here and I’m so bummed I didn’t know about this awesome mall until now! It is a pretty big outdoor mall located in the suburbs of Collierville. There is so much space to walk around. The layout is very well thought of, so it actually feels relaxing walking around in there. They have everything from Dillards, Bath and Body works, Macy’s, Barnes and Noble, and now H&M! You can definitely make a day out of coming here with some friends. Tons of places to eat too. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t already!

The Carriage Crossing experience is one of relaxation and bliss. This is one of the few — make that one of the only — malls left in the Memphis area that isn’t plagued by waves of rowdy teens and constant crime sprees, or that has been left collect tumbleweeds. I’m saying all of that to say, don’t bother going to the other malls in the area unless you want to be surrounded by noisy miscreants. There’s always at least two cop cars on the parking lot, even if they’re just sitting talking to each other. This mall is made for a nice serene stroll on a spring day. If you hate the outdoors, then you just discovered you don’t like outdoor malls!
I love the small boutiques around like Therapy Boutique, which carries loads of bohemian inspired fare, don’t visit hem if you have a weakness for headbands and pale pink. Of course, they have the all important mall mainstays such as Sephora and Victoria’s Secret. Something Special Home and I.O. Metro have great things for the home and the former just moved into a larger space. They have three anchors, right now: Barnes & Noble, Dillard’s, and Macy’s.
And, have you seen the H&M that’s being built? They closed the Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, and some other store that I don’t really remember to replace them with a mega H&M! Sorry prepster teens and twenty-something’s still trying to hold on to long gone nostalgia, you’ll have to purchase your button downs and cut-​off jean shorts elsewhere.

I love the outdoor mall concept. Not different from an outlet concept but less crowded. It was one of my favorite shopping spots while in Memphis. I first experienced it in the late summer and it was beautiful to stroll each store and feel the breeze. There are good restaurants there and the shopping is typical mall shoppes but the outside factor just bumps it up a notch for me. But then on a rainy day… oh well it matters not. I love it!

Love this place. Its an outdoor mall with most all of the stores you will find in an indoor mall. Everything looks so new and clean. It’s very refreshing to shop here.

I like the open air concept of Carriage Crossing. This mall has many anchor stores, Dillards, Macys, Barnes and Noble. The restaurants are different and I enjoy the back atmosphere they create. I go to this mall often so my opinion might be biased to an indoor mall like Wolfchase Galleria. I have not had any problems so far regarding rudeness from store employees. ‘A’ for customer service.

I am not a mall person. But this is a nice outdoor mall. It has a nice variety of stores and restaurants. By it being an outdoor mall you will want to go on a nice day.

I love this mall. I’m sad it doesn’t have a Disney store like Wolfchase, but it still has quite a few good stores and restaurants in it. It’s also fun to walk around at on a nice day since it’s an outside mall. There’s also a hotel connected to it that I believe my aunt has stayed at and enjoyed. They have cool events here and decorate it for the seasons. It’s an aesthetically pleasing place and they play good music that you can listen to while walking around.

An oasis in Collierville. Almost every Fri we walk around to window shop grab frozen yogurt check the live music or watch the outdoor movie. Fun to browse the kids area in Barnes and Noble and see the cute bronze kids statues. I like the décor at I O Metro and this Dillard’s is especially nice. Lots of food choices and it’s fun to people watch on the weekends. Security is there and the stores are clean with plenty of parking. Look for deals from CC business office such as $ 20 gift cards to Macys if you spend $ 50 at a restaurant there yayyyy Also they have the Komen race here in Oct.

This mall is outdoors, which worked out pretty well on our visit. It had a couple anchor stores like Dilliards and Bed Bath & Beyond. It was very nice and clean. We were here on a weekday morning, so there was plenty of parking and no crowds. The eating options are quite minimal, but no real complaints there. I loved the makeup store, and the sales at Dilliards were amazing! I could never have that much luck at my local mall here in Atlanta– nothing’s ever left! I’d come back if I were visiting Memphis again.

This is an outdoor mall, which is fun (as long as the weather is good). It has a good variety of stores and restaurants. My kids love to look at the little bronze statues of kids that are scattered about. BUT the parking areas are in the middle of everything, which makes it feel more like a strip mall than a classy outdoor mall, and makes walking around it less safe than it would be if parking were on the perimeter.

I was sent to the Carriage Crossing location by Dillard’s at Wolfchase to find some dishes that Wolfchase didn’t have but their Carriage Crossing location did. I did find what I wanted and the staff was great.
I was surprised b/​c at Dillard’s Wolfchase I along with about 3 – 4 other people were all left standing at two registers in the housewares dept with absolutely nobody paying any attention to people trying to pay for merchandise.
I finally left the register and went to customer service and asked them to get someone to the registers-​which they did finally.
They had no paper-​bubble wrap or boxes to wrap the fragile items either,
Think I will stick with Dillard’s Carriage Crossing or Oak Court locations.

An upscale outdoor mall in a nice area. i love shopping here. Plenty of eating places to from Bonefish, which I recommend the Bang, Bang shrimp, to an awesome crêpe place. lots of open areas to let the kids run around too.

I started to shun away from stuffy indoor malls a few years ago. As outdoor mall goes, Town Square Las Vegas might house more trendy brands, but The Avenue in Collierville offers more open air and better landscape. It’s really a well-​maintained family friendly place. We sometimes just come here for an easy stroll, when hiking in the woods feels like a daunting task.
Store line-​up is ok, with your usual suspects such as Gap, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, Gymboree, Clarks, anchored by Macy’s and Dillard’s. You will find what you need but probably nothing real special. Late last year a frozen yogurt place opened up and I am glad to see it survived the colder months.
I will miss this part of suburbia and probably will have to make the 20-​mile drive to shop here once every other month after moving into the city. Yeah, because you are worth it.
P. S. There is a Starbucks inside the Barnes&Noble, where you can drop off your significant other as he becomes irrelevant to your shopping excursion.

The Avenue is an open mall area with a ton of stores. There’s a lot of store choices for men, women and children. There really is a great selection.
The landscaping is very well done and it’s a great place to go around just to walk. There is plenty of space for kids to run around and they always have something going on. In the fall they have things on Friday evenings. My son really enjoyed dancing to music in the center.
Now they have train rides for kids. There is plenty of parking.
With a few restaurants included you can spend quite some time at The Avenue shopping. It’s a nice alternative to Wolfchase Galleria.

The Avenue is a great outdoor, open air mall located in the suburbs of Collierville, TN. This is more of a shopping destination than other area malls that are more functional than fun! You can definitely spend a day at Carriage Crossing or go here for a specific purpose like a particular store or restaurant. Since it’s open are you can either park in a central location or right in front of your store of choice.
It’s a great atmosphere with nice music, landscaping and sculptures, it’s an enjoyable experience even for my husband (well maybe not enjoyable for him, more like tolerable!)
I especially love to go here during the holidays– it’s an event and so much fun. There is also a lot of activities that you don’t find at other area malls such as Fridays at the Avenues a family friendly series that features various complimentary movies and live entertainment. This Friday they showed the movie Annie.
The large department stores are Macy’s and Dillard’s and a Bed, Bath and Beyond. There are more full service restaurants here than in any other mall and include: Bonefish Grill, Stix, Red Robin, Firebirds and Cheeburger Cheeburger. They are also quick service restaurants including The Great American Cookie, Milano’s Pizza and the Pretzle Maker.
Other stores include your standards like Ann Taylor, Abercrombie, Gap etc– but it’s nice that you can park right by them and run in. Specialty stores include I.O. Metro, Something Special Home Store, Francesa’s, Glitz and Glam and Gap Body (the only one in the area).
Why go here vs other area malls? It’s a shopping experience and destination and it’s fun and safe to shop here. You go here for the experience and the ease of getting in and out of your favorite stores.

Meh. This mall is huge but once you actually get inside of the outdoor space the number and quality of shops is quite small.
Each store looks huge from the outside but once inside the space and merchandise is lacking. I was hoping for some ‘day after Christmas’ sales and I was really disappointed.
I’ve been to this mall twice while visiting family in Memphis and while Wolfchase Mall is more of a hassle it has much more going for it.

(I would probably add an extra ½ star to this review)
The Avenue Carriage Crossing is a nice, open mall area, but a bit unorganized.
The area is pleasant, well maintained and easy to walk around, but the builders or SOMEONE seemed to have neglected to post more maps, either large board-​wise or flyers that people could take with them to help navigate around the area.
Even their website makes it rather difficult. I like a map with ALL of the stores listed on the layout, meaning, I see a store on the map and I can tell what store is next to it. That’s just me though. The website if you want to know what stores they have is here:
This a very obviously family oriented open mall, with lots of cute sculptures of frolicking children and Hallmark-​y moments, something I’m not a fan of, but hey, we’re in the ‘burbs here.
While I have not been to all of the stores here, there is a good mix of stores of assorted clothing types, services, cosmetics and home-​goods as this is a family oriented area, there is something for everyone. It seems that they have upped the number of restaurants from the last reviewer’s experience and I have yet to eat at any of them. They seem a bit expensive and I am not sure if it would cost effective for a large family, perhaps for a party or a date.
The website listed above also touts the different specials and promotions stores are having and you can even print out coupons from there, which is a plus.
Mostly I go there for the World Market and Linens N’ Things, which takes Bed Bath and Beyond coupons, KEY as I save those things like mad as they are in the paper and mail all the time.
In summary: Nice, family orientated, good mix, but hard to navigate and if you have kid (s) and want to shop a lot, hope you have a baby carriage or are prepared to carry him/​her/​them; a little expensive

Say good-​bye to the age of the mall. Say hello to the era of open air shopping plazas. Considering the sprawling population of the Metro Memphis area to the east and south, the demolition of the Mall of Memphis, and the decline of the Hickory Ridge Mall, building a new shopping center in the ‘burbs seems like a profitable business venture. Enter The Avenue Carriage Crossing in Collierville. Instead of building several unorganized strip malls, why not model the creation of this strip mall after a small town with parking spaces between the «blocks?» Draw people in with stores that include Dillard’s, Parisian, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle Outfitters, Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, Banana Republic, Barnes & Noble, Bath & Body Works, Buckle, Hollister, etc. While I’m not a big fan of urban sprawl, I will say that this is a much better idea since they have at least organized the sprawl. This concept can be observed in «Downtown» Pleasant Hill, CA and similarly Emeryville CA’s Bay Street. What The Avenue at Carriage Crossing IS missing is the food selection. I went here the day after Christmas and only ONE eatery was opened serving lunch was open. All the other places were either not opened for lunch or still under construction. Poor planning on the design! With TN state sales tax being 9.25%, I probably won’t be doing much shopping here.
