Phoenix & Scottsdale Area Shopping

Here are images and info about a handful of shopping centers located throughout the valley. This collection is barely skimming the surface of all the available places to shop here. In every town and city that make up the Greater Phoenix Area you will find an abundance of strip malls, specialty stores, dining and entertainment.

Scottsdale Fashion Square is the largest shopping mall in Arizona and the American Southwest, with approximately 2 million square feet of retail space. Anchored by five mega stores - Nordstrom, Nieman Marcus, Macy's, Dillards and Barneys and includes upscale brands like Gucci, Juicy Couture, Louis Vuitton. It can be a bit overwhelming because of the crowd and the size, so you may want to explore it in chunks.

The Biltmore Fashion Park is a luxury outdoor retail and dining plaza located in the Biltmore District of Phoenix, Arizona along the prestigious stretch of East Camelback Rd. The recently renovated and expanded mid-century plaza is the city of Phoenix's premiere address for high-end retail.

Chandler Fashion Center is the second largest mall in Greater Phoenix with more than 180 stores and five anchors including Arizona's second Nordstrom, Sears, Dillard's, Macy's and Harkins Theatres. The mall layout is designed like the letter "A" with the food court as the top point. All of the indoor mall shops radiate out into 3 wings from the food court

Mesa Marketplace is well known amongst the snow bird population from the US and Canada as a place to cruise through four aisles that are a football field's length filled with local merchants and suppliers selling inexpensive goods and services. We go there several times a year with all the visitors from Canada that we have stay with us...I can drive there in my sleep and the local one-man bands that perform in the food court area are starting to recognize me!!

OUTLET MALL!! Need I say more........this outdoor mall is the Outlets of Anthem and is located at the north end of Phoenix at Anthem along the I-17 that heads north to Flagstaff. It's a great place to visit over Christmas as they truck down an 80' tall tree from Northern Arizona & have a party the night that they turn the switch for the lights.You can spend a whole day here. There's a decent food court in the middle of the mall not far from The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory!!!
