Hip and young, upscale and elegant, vintage, quirky and fun, mainstream and just plain all out funky – metro Memphis offers more exciting shopping destinations than some states.
Malls and plazas throughout the city feature big-name department stores with trendy fashions, discount centers and specialty shops. Complexes such as the Peabody Place Entertainment and Retail Center offer retail shopping, restaurants, kiosks, a movie theater and even a bowling ‘nightclub’.
It’s also all the little quirky shops and funky finds that you may not know about that make Memphis such a unique shopping destination. Stores such as Lansky’s where Carl Perkins, Elvis and Rufus Thomas once shopped, where guitars hang from the ceilings and where famous memorabilia is showcased in every corner.
The Cooper-Young District, an eclectic and hip historic midtown neighborhood, features the distinctive antique district complete with art galleries, handmade furniture and shops featuring vintage souvenirs and collectibles of Memphis’ renowned history.
Major Rule: You simply can’t shop in Memphis without digging through old record stores for vintage tracks and hidden treasures from unknown artists. For some people this record store activity is shopping. For most locals, it’s a time-treasured hobby. The perfect place to start is Goner Records. This shack of a record store features everything from oldies and indie tracks to crossbreed genres even the most extreme music fans have never heard before.
