A year from now, area residents will be able to shop at outdoor retailer REI which is locating at Mid City. Here is the link:

The article states that there are over 3,500 REI members in the HSV area already, so they already have a good customer base to begin their business and grow from.
Of all the projects in the HSV area, Mid City leads the pack in announced restaurants and retailers with Top Golf, High Country Climbing and Fitness, Rascall Flats Restaurant, Wahlburgers, the Aloft Hotel and Dave and Busters.
The irony is that Mid City had the latest start - Constellation and Town Madison have been in the works far longer and could have landed all of these. Both have far more visible locations, too, with higher traffic counts passing by them everyday.
