| Gaston County has for years attracted shopping-minded visitors. Quoted in Southern Living magazine in June 1998, "Dolly Parton's seamstress. The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders' outfitters. Professional wrestlers. European fashion designers. Quilters. Brides-to-be. And mothers on a budget. That's who shops at Mary Jo’s Cloth Store, a mecca for seamstresses who find mountains of material at thimble-size prices in the legendary Gastonia store." Mary Jo's is located in Gaston Mall and is the largest fabric store in the Southeast. Luxury Fabrics is also a landmark for shopping. Nowhere is the quality of shopping better reflected than in the local malls. Westfield Shoppingtown at Eastridge, with its 100 stores, ranks fourth largest in the Carolinas. Franklin Square, which opened in 1989, has grown into three shopping centers and offers just about everything you need in over 1 million square feet. Gaston Mall and Akers Center continue their traditions of quality and selection. | ||
