For more than six decades, Highland Village has been a staple of the Jackson community, evolving from a quaint retail development into one of Mississippi’s most iconic lifestyle centers. With its blend of historic charm, modern retailers, and deep local roots, Highland Village remains a place where neighbors gather, generations connect and experiences are made every day.

Since its founding in the early 1960s, Highland Village has grown from a charming retail corner into one of Jackson’s most treasured lifestyle destinations. Blending heritage with modern appeal, Highland Village is more than just a place to shop. From its earliest days, Highland Village was envisioned as a community hub, and it has grown in thoughtful stages to match the city’s needs and energy.

After a series of expansions and improvements in the 1970s, the shopping center didn’t see a major renovation until the promenade entrance and facade changes in 2017. This careful and purposeful evolution is part of what makes Highland Village so special, a place where old favorites meet new experiences, with a design that invites visitors to stay a while.

Highland Village has always been a pioneer, welcoming first-to-market retailers and restaurants that now feel essential to the Jackson landscape:

• Lululemon – the first in the state
• Char, Aplos, and Tuk Tuk Boom – all launched their first locations here
• National brands like Whole Foods Market, Sur La Table, Warby Parker, Kendra Scott, and Free People chose Highland Village for their only Mississippi locations.

While new concepts keep Highland Village vibrant, its heart is grounded in tradition. Several businesses have anchored the center for decades:

• Buffalo Peak Outfitters – an outdoor gear go-to for over 30 years
• Maison Weiss – timeless style and luxury fashion
• BRAVO! – an award-winning restaurant with deep community ties
