Malls in Jacksonville
St Johns Town Center
With a design and retail offer that has nothing to envy to the shopping centers in Miami and Orlando, the St. Johns Town Center is one of the main malls in Jacksonville. Its architectural design resembles that of a luxury street full of top designer brands and great restaurants. There is no doubt why it has become the best shopping destination in North Florida. Its more than 150 stores include top fashion brands, furniture stores (such as Restoration Hardware with its spectacular store), makeup stores (including Sephora, MAC or Lush), a Target and much more.
We will start with its luxury stores as in addition to Nordstrom (where you can find clothes from the best brands in the world) there is also the Louis Vuitton boutique as well as the jewelry store, Tiffany & Co. Its wide variety of fashion stores also includes Brooks Brothers, Anthropologie, Altar d State Untuckit, Michael Kors and Tory Burch. In addition to these, there are also cheaper options such as Ross and Marshalls.
