Winner: Oak Court Mall

Newer shopping centers may have opened, but Memphians remain loyal to Oak Court Mall. Whether it is the central East Memphis location, the stability of the surrounding residential areas or the selection of stores, Oak Court is still a stalwart of Memphis shopping.

The mall is anchored by Dillard’s and Macy’s, and between the two department stores, customers will find everything from Aveda Lifestyle Store and Gould’s Salon to Brookstone, Sunglass Hut, Banana Republic and the Gap.

4465 Poplar Avenue, 682-8928; 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday - Saturday, noon - 6 p.m. Sunday.

Finalist: Wolfchase Galleria; the Avenue Carriage Crossing
