Wow! This is one of the largest outdoor shopping centers I've been to besides an outlet mall. There…read moreis such a variety of shopping and dining options. There is a Barnes and Noble as an anchor store. The one by me is long gone. The Best Buy here is now vacant. They have many good food options. We were here for the Savor Bowie event. Seemed like 100+ vendors were lining the Main Street. Still, lots of of free parking option available in the back lots. Stores don't open until noon on Sundays from what I noticed. Many restaurants didn't have breakfast options except First Watch, of course.

You can tell that this place came into existence during the outdoor mixed used retail craze of the…read moreearly 2000s. You can find one of these in just about any neighborhood or city. They all look like cookie cutter examples from the original. The only difference, the stores held within. This location does seem to be fairing well when compared to other locations. Obviously not as good as outlet malls, but still holding its own. I was surprised by the amount of stores, but the lack of foot traffic. I came on a Sunday and there was hardly anyone here. Those that were coming were running into a single store and heading out. It doesn't seem that far fetched to have an area like this be busy. But I think that most people are straying away from shopping centers like this. The mix of stores didn't really compliment one another and if you wanted to go to other stores in the center you have to go away from the town center portion. I am sure that when it is warmer this is a more vibrant place, but places like this aren't that magically in the colder months.

The transformation of Collington Plaza has been interesting to watch. Basically they tore it…read morecompletely down and replaced it. Gone are Belair Service and Pizza Wheel. Now you got Giants and the ridiculously idiotic Walmart. Don't find myself coming too often since other grocery stores are closer to me and the patrons of Walmart scare me since they look and act like zombies. Capital One Bank is nice, but they are not nation wide (yet). Sad to see the toy store close. Parking is more idiotic than the Walmart. Choke points, speed bumps and the zombies clog up the traffic. It's well kept, just wish they had better shops.

I don't think I would quite call this place a mall but it's definitely a shopping center…read more There's several businesses in here including but not limited to: the UPS Store, CAVA, IHOP, Dessert Junkie, Popeyes Charlie's Philly Steaks, a liquor store, Pizza Hut, Subway, Ross, TJ Maxx, Uptown Cheapskate, Starbucks, Giant, ZIPS, a nail shop, and America's Best Wings. I missed some. Parking here isn't the best. The spaces are small and it's always busy!

The Value for the ultra-low price in all of the above mentioned stores is amazing. The selection in TJ. Maxx and Marshalls, IHOP is always amazing. Also the UPS Store is frequented by a lot of people if some could just be more patient. Anthony's Italian Restaurant is still open and has doubled in size since it has opened and the prices are still lower than most places in the area. These are still so close by and we are always served by "P.G. Co. Customer Servants," if we live are lucky enough to still live in Bowie. Also the Mattress Store (that never seems to go out of business) not sure if that's the exact name, but it's always going, along with the IHOP. The selection in all of the stores here is exceptional and they are always clean as can be. I'm thrilled that I stayed in Bowie all of my life as a retired fed, and now use Lyft to get places often. Or all of them have a service option that's very close by. Perhaps sometimes it's not in the best interest of owners to keep a Mall in service, but this Mall has almost all of the "old stores and the parking is exceptional in the front" ~ especially. I would rate this as one of two top "smallest stores in the area".

Misleading Information and Poor Customer Service…read more I went into this T-Mobile store to upgrade my phone and was told by the customer service agent that she could get me a cheaper plan. She transferred all 4 of my lines and had me sign a document that clearly stated my plan would be $120. Now, my bill has jumped to $240! After calling customer service, I was informed that the $120 plan only covers the first two lines, and each additional line costs $60. The reps at this store are NOT knowledgeable about T-Mobile's plans and provided me with inaccurate information, resulting in a much higher bill than I expected. Very disappointed in the service here. DO NOT shop at this store unless you want to deal with confusion and frustration!

I lived in Bowie for over 40 years and the transformation of Hilltop Plaza has been good and bad…read more The plaza looks good and has been maintained well. It has gone through a couple of face lifts and management here has kept up with the times. The 7-11 might be the only original shop in the place. The Chinese restaurant has been there for a while, but I don't recollect if it is an original shop. Having said that, a number of grocery stores have come and gone. Target and Track Auto are no more. The Advance Auto is the 3rd replacement in the plaza. One of my favorite restaurant, the Bowie Inn is no more. Sadly. Outback has replaced it and that is not the same. Marty Cards is gone (which was originally in Belair Shopping Plaza). Planet Fitness is there and the back has some shops, but not necessarily the popular ones. Some idiot designed the parking lot. Only two entrances that funnel cars. The parking lot, a maze trap, was redesigned and once you get in, the traffic pattern is bad. A number of shops built in the middle of the parking lot also reduces the parking spaces. Looks like management wants the maximum number of shops in a limited space and didn't consider the consequence of really terrible parking.

As I am aware that every register can process returns, I asked how much time she needed to prioritize her tasks and I would be happy to wait. She then informed me that she was not going to argue with me and proceeded to walk away and continue her work behind a closed door. After closing the door in my face, without a resolution, I decided to write this review and look forward to formal store and district management to give me a call. This is awful service

What made me feel unwelcomed was that I felt like I was being punished and/or watched the whole time I was in here. All I wanted to do was browse and see if I could find anything I could use for myself or hide away as a gift for later. I started to get this feeling like I shouldn't be in here and started to head to the doors. Getting there it felt like I was in the middle of a maze. I was being blocked by other customers and when I was finally get over that threshold to outside. I felt a bit more at ease. I'm starting to think that Burlingtons in general, make you feel uneasy, like they could be an entrance into the backrooms. Not all locations, but those nearer a metro area seem to be like this.
