No explanation needed. No cultural lesson required. Perimeter is simply a really good mall. After Old National, we're going to give you the obvious answer. Go to Perimeter Mall. There doesn't have to be a deeper story behind every recommendation. Perimeter is one of those malls that still functions the way you want a mall to function. More than 150 retailers, four major department stores and enough fashion, shoes, beauty and accessories that you can come here actually looking for something and have a pretty good chance of finding it. Nordstrom. Macy's. Dillard's. Von Maur.

Then Zara, H&M, Sephora, lululemon, Urban Outfitters, Levi's, Champs, DTLR, JD Sports, Foot Locker, Steve Madden, Mango, Psycho Bunny and plenty more. That's a shopping mall. And Perimeter's location matters. If you're staying in Dunwoody, Sandy Springs or anywhere around the GA-400/I-285 corridor, we're not going to tell you to drive across metro Atlanta just because Lenox is #1. You already have a serious shopping option right here.

This is also why Perimeter comes immediately after Old National in our ranking. Old National was the recommendation that made you turn your head. Perimeter is the one where we say: Relax. We know regular malls too.
