Park Road Shopping Center in Charlotte, NC, is a historic open-air retail destination that has evolved over the decades to stay relevant and vibrant. One of its more recent innovations includes the addition of small retail pods in the middle of the parking lot. By placing these pods in the heart of the parking area, the center has successfully drawn foot traffic inward, encouraging exploration beyond the traditional storefronts.
