What is a Lifestyle Center?
A lifestyle center is different from a traditional indoor mall. It's designed to feel like a town square or a main street. You can walk around outside from store to store. These centers often have nice landscaping and places to sit. They offer a mix of popular stores and unique local shops. It's a place where people can shop, eat, and spend time together.
Shops and Restaurants
The Pinnacle at Tutwiler Farm has many different stores. Some of the biggest stores are called "anchor tenants." These are large stores that help attract many shoppers.
