A Ralph Lauren clothing store will be the next high-end retailer to set up shop at Phillips Place in SouthPark, the mall announced on Wednesday.

The 4,608-square-foot store opening in late September will be Ralph Lauren’s first standalone location in the state, according to Phillips Place. Collections included in the store will be Ralph Lauren Home, Women’s Collection, Men’s Purple Label and Polo Ralph Lauren.

The mall’s co-owner, Highland Park Village Management, is an upscale retail developer. The company took over Phillips Place leasing, marketing and property management last year, according to Phillips Place.

The new Ralph Lauren store is a part of Phillips Place’s push to bring more luxury brands to the Charlotte market, Highland Park Village Managing Director Stephen Summers said.
