Collins Square is a strip shopping center on Virginia Beach Boulevard east of Town Center. It's…read morelocated across the street from the Meyera E. Oberndorf Central Library. The shopping center itself is a bit dated. Its tenants have changed over the years with the anchor store no longer the high foot traffic generating Farm Fresh. That space is now occupied by a Planet Fitness. An out parcel space once occupied by Boston Market has received a nice new renovation in the form of Habit Burger & Grill. That spot is a great addition and is what brought me back to Collins Square after many years. Also occupying the strip are stores including the UPS Store, Game Stop, Fleet Feet, Tropical Smoothie, Seafood Kitchen, Virginia Beach City Treasurer, nail salons, tax preparation, and various other stores. There is plentiful parking for the type of businesses housed in Collins Square. I'll certainly return for Habit Burgers but not for any of the other establishments.

Haygood Shopping Center is a conveniently located multi purpose shopping center on the west side of…read moreIndependence Boulevard about midway between its intersection with Virginia Beach Boulevard & its end at Shore Drive. The busy shopping center offers a number of popular eateries such as Noodle Man, Clean Eatz, The Egg Bistro, Saladworks & Kelly's Tavern. Plaza Aztecs sits on an out parcel as do fast food favorites such as Dairy Queen, Chick fil A & Gourmet Gang. A yummy pastry location that I love for birthdays is Nothing Bundt Cakes. Over the years the anchor grocer has changed as has the grocery industry. What began as A&P when I first moved to Virginia Beach was followed by now defunct Farm Fresh. The current occupant of the space is the popular Harris Teeters. A now empty space was once occupied by a large Rite Aid drugstore that included a medical equipment section not available at the chain's other locations. I'm excited about what could move into the large space. The mix of businesses in the shopping center is quite convenient. It proves such value to me in both time & gas expended. I'm able to make multiple shopping stops in the same close location. One can find everything from a UPS store & ABC Store to health foods, hair salons, clothing discounter, jeweler, insurance agency & much, much more. On the north side of the center sits a Harris Teeters Fuel Center. On an out parcel is a Bank of America Branch Office, Over the years I've seen many businesses come & go. The explosion of popular spots moving to Haygood Shopping Center came after the facelift it received at the time of the Harris Teeters opening. The center has also served as a draw for businesses to open in the surrounding area, creating a veritable island of firms serving the northern area of Virginia Beach, Thank you Haygood Shopping Center for bringing popular & convenient businesses to our area.

But as we all say God will deal with us all.

Over the years I've shopped businesses at Cape Henry Plaza off Shore Drive…read more The most common business has been Food Lion which is the anchor. Others are Hot Tuna a popular restaurant. I've got pharmacy items at RiteAid which has now closed and ice cream from Blue Cow. The center is dated, maybe 1970's. However, it's well maintained and clean. The entry points are Great Neck and Shore. It can be challenging exiting on Shore if making a left toward the Lesner Bridge. I will continue to use the Cape Henry Plaza.

This shopping plaza has terrific stores. I've been a frequent visitor for decades. Among my…read morefavorites are Hot Tuna & Long Jewelers. Blue Cow Ice Cream, Rite Aid and Food Lion are among the plethora of different types of shops and eateries. All I have regularly frequented are high quality with excellent service. Others, such as Rite Aid & Food Lion provide offerings not otherwise found in this part of the Shore Drive corridor, making the shopping plaza a valuable resource for the area. The center occupies the southeast corner of the intersection of Great Neck Road & Shore Drive, directly across Shore Drive from the Delta Hotel. The entrance & exits are a bit tricky, depending on the direction one is approaching from. The traffic on Shore Drive & the lack of curb cuts on Great Neck make the entrance & exit choices something learned over time. Coming from the west on Shore Drive entrance should be from Shore Drive, after one passes through the intersection's traffic light. But exiting, if one is headed west, should be by Great Neck Road which has the advantage of a traffic light with turn lanes. The shopping center is clean, well kept & well lit, More handicapped parking spaces are needed, especially in the spaces closest to the always busy Hot Tuna. Thank you Cape Henry Plaza for providing me great dining & jewelry over the years.

I love all the Hilltop Shopping Centers and this is no different because it is home to some shops I…read morelove like Taste, Plant House, Melting Pot, etc. It goes on and on and on. You can find restaurants here, jewelry, home goods, foods, plants, electric bikes, furniture, gifts, Hallmark... it's home to some great locally owned shops that I frequent pretty often as well as an ice cream shop, Starbucks, and Ethan Allen and Fresh Market. It's an absolutely huge shopping center that has multiple entrances and exits so you can easily get in an out. Note: I do recommend you only enter and exit with traffic lights as the access roads for Laskin are notoriously confusing and frustrating to deal with. I'll be glad when they're gone... perhaps in the next 15-20 years? Ha. Still, worth the visit.

Home to a few places I frequent quite often. Known generally as Hilltop, it is specifically Hilltop…read moreEast and signage has the same. The location is the NE corner of Laskin and First Colonial. Best entry point is Laskin where their are two entrances. The furthest East is less congested. I've always found plenty of parking and the lot is impeccably clean. Lighting is great at night. Access to the businesses is great from the surface lot. So some of my favorite businesses located in Hilltop East are The Butcher's Son (previously Fire & Vine), Bottlecraft, Taste, YMCA, Great Outdoor Provision Co. and Birkenstock store. There are many more to check out. The Hilltop area is an upper-scale strip that is in a beautiful area of Virgina Beach only three miles from the oceanfront. I will continue to shop and eat at establishments in the area and recommend.

Providence Square is locked on the southeast corner of Kempsville and Providence Roads. It was a…read morespot I frequented often for the music/record store, which appears to have closed, when my husband was alive. The mix of businesses has changed quite a bit since I frequented it often. The restaurant options have increased, including a Surf Rider Kempsville. A lot of food and sweets have been added to the mix that never existed in the past. The anchor store Kroger is joined by a mix of varied retail outlets. Beauty, health, veterinary, nail salons and workout space have made Providence Square a one-stop spot for the neighborhood. Need cash? You'll find a bank, along with financial services and real estate. In my opinion the Shopping Center needs a facelift. It doesn't have the draw of the shopping center across Providence Road. It was surprising to see the addition of Surf Rider, since the shopping center rarely captures my attention with a reason to enter. I'll definitely go back to try the Surf Rider even though it won't have the beautiful waterfront and boat docks of the ones I favor.

Pretty decent shopping center. The parking lot is large and can accommodate heavy traffic. However,…read moreit wasn't too packed this Friday around lunch time. It houses many little shops such as a book store, subway, but also has larger shops like a super market and fish store. Lot is well maintained. Their are a couple of fast food shops as well. I could see this being a spot to go to if I lived in the surrounding neighborhoods. Our purpose today was for the philly pretzel shop! Running a deal for April 15 pretzels for $5. National pretzel day is April 26th and they are giving away free pretzels!

Hilltop Marketplace is located in a strategic spot on the northwest corner of the intersection of…read moreFirst Colonial & Laskin Roads. Who could ask for a better spot than close proximity to the doctor/hospital corridor of First Colonial and the Laskin Road shopping corridor. The only negative to the location is the traffic congestion at certain times of day and the crazy Laskin feeder roads, which should eventually become a thing of the past. Anchoring the marketplace, in the space previously occupied by a major office supply store, is Total Wine. The store is literally a wine and beer superstore. Be prepared to be overwhelmed upon stepping in for the first time. The out parcels consist of a litany of fast food restaurants that can quickly curb your hunger after a longer than expected expected doctor appointment. I mourn the loss of Schlotszky's, which had been my favorite. My replacement fast food favorite at the marketplace is Chick-fil-A. You'll also find others. Panera Bread has moved to a stand alone location in the midst of the parking lot, which allowed other stores to move in. The shopping center itself has many other quick and dining in eating establishments, including Moe's and Arby's. At the First Colonial Road end is a French Restaurant, which I haven't yet tried. There's a Pet Store, PetValue that I don't recognize as having other stores in the area. Find Pure Barre, Pearl Vision, New Balance, Langley's Credit Union, Michael's, LabCorp, FedEx, several boutiques, a cupcake store and much more. From First Colonial the easiest entrance is to turn on Republic Road then into the large parking lot. There is also an entrance from the feeder lane on Laskin Road and an entrance on First Colonial. Marketplace at Hilltop is a very well placed and useful shopping choice.

Marketplace at Hilltop is not only one of my favorites off Laskin, it's my favorite in Virginia…read moreBeach. There are several stores I frequent weekly. The signage updated the last few years. The shopping center was developed in the mid 90's and completion occurred in 1997. The strip with out lying businesses on the corner of Laskin and First Colonial is quite expansive. Parking is plentiful and the lot has newer blacktop and striping. Debris is typically scarce as the leasing agent Venture does a fantastic job. Landscape is high quality and maintained weekly. The Laskin side recently had construction and new grass is being seeded. Signage is on both Laskin, which is considered the main entrance and Republic. There are dozens of businesses with anchors Total Wine and Michaels are the largest. Panera, Langley FCU and Le Yaca are also large square footage wise. Perimeter anchors off the road are Sun Trust Bank on the corner, Chick Fil A and Chipotle. A former Jason's Deli has been vacant for months and awaits a new tenant. The stores I like and frequent the most are Total Wine, Chick Fil A and Le Yaca. Panera can now be included with a new store and drive-thru service. A very popular store that I've never been in is Orange Theory. I constantly see foot traffic in and out. Also Moe's Southwest Grill is busy. I can't hide my excitement for this well maintained shopping center. It has stores I love and a location that's just minutes from the Oceanfront. I will continue to enjoy shopping and eating at Hilltop Marketplace businesses.

I had forgotten how beautiful Town Center is at night. After the stores and most of the restaurants…read moreare closed, street parking is available. You can walk to one of the remaining restaurants and enjoy the beauty of the lit, tree'd streets with lights hung over the street. It almost felt like Christmas except with white lights and the humid heat of summer. Lights shine from the urban apartments in the buildings where one can live and walk to just about anything. The Plaza is a wonderful focal point. The vision of a planned Uptown, miles from the lights and glitter of the oceanfront, was a wonderful one. Upscale shopping, restaurants, housing and theaters abound. Grocery shopping is now available in the form of Trader Joe's, which occupies a space in the same area of Regal Cinemas. Town Center is a vision that became reality and continues to grow throughout the years.

Sitting adjacent & south of Great Neck Village is a similar sized shopping center. The two shopping centers provide close shopping & amenities to the surrounding Great Neck section of Virginia Beach. Another draw to the shopping center for me is the Bagel Baker, which offers New York style bagels and deli sandwiches. The shopping center stores have changed so much over the almost 40 years I've frequented it. Some of my old favorites, including a wonderful boutique where I found cute clothes and accessories, are long gone. So my current shopping at the center is focused on the above two businesses. For those who find it convenient there's a Dollar Tree, an Ice Cream store and businesses such as an insurance agency, hair & nail salons, a bank, ABC Store and more. The Taco Bell brings back wonderful memories of picking up lunch for my son when he was a student at nearby Cox High School. A unique aspect of Great Neck Village is the path to a Seniors apartment complex behind the center off Mill Dam Road. Residents who can't drive have convenient access to groceries. The drug store previously there has closed, which I'm sure makes prescription access much harder for them. Thank you for providing this much needed service to this community. As is the case with most of the older shopping centers in Virginia Beach, Great Neck Village received a face lift a number of years ago. Because of the quick grocery items pickup & access to bagels I'll continue to frequent Great Neck Village.
