Retail
Omaha is home to five major shopping malls, Westroads Mall, Crossroads Mall, Oak View Mall, and Village Pointe, an outdoor shopping mall located in far west Omaha, which houses some of Omaha's finer national retailers such as Coach, Inc. and Apple Inc. Shadow Lake Towne Center is another large scale outdoor shopping mall located in Papillion, a suburb of Omaha. Several smaller scale shopping centers are located throughout the city. One Pacific Place and Regency Court Mall are upscale shopping centers in the Regency neighborhood. Borsheim's Fine Jewelry 62,500-square-foot (5,810 m2) store is located in Regency Court Mall. Sorensen Park Plaza, Aksarben Village, Midtown Crossing and Rockbrook Village are other major shopping centers in the Omaha area.
Nebraska Furniture Mart, located near Crossroads Mall on 72nd and Dodge, is the largest home furnishings store in North America.
The Target Corporation entered the hypermarket format in 1995 by opening its first SuperTarget store in Omaha.
Although Downtown Omaha was once the major retail district in the city, most retail locations are now located in Midtown and West Omaha. However, the Old Market District has several local specialty shops and clothing stores and boutiques. The NoDo development has brought national retailers back to downtown with Urban Outfitters and American Apparel opening in the Slowdown development.
The neighborhoods of Benson, Dundee, and South Omaha all have main street retail districts.

Famous quotes containing the word retail:
“A free-enterprise economy depends only on markets, and according to the most advanced mathematical macroeconomic theory, markets depend only on moods: specifically, the mood of the men in the pinstripes, also known as the Boys on the Street. When the Boys are in a good mood, the market thrives; when they get scared or sullen, it is time for each one of us to look into the retail apple business.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
