What a classy, relaxing shopping experience! I was walking around in the beautiful weather…read moreyesterday and felt like I was in a movie with the light jazz music in the background, pretty lit up "BLOOM" flower sign photo op, comfy benches and patio chairs, and a wide variety of shops. The sidewalks are always so clean and even at night, I feel safe here. Parking can at times be a little difficult to come by, but the large angled spots are spacious. There are some great dining options that you don't see everywhere (although Ted's has been lackluster in the past), plus treat options like the famous Munson's, to give you a break to refuel on your shopping spree. This is a great place to catch up with friends or just get some errands done in a more relaxed and glamorous environment than an indoor mall.

Love the Promenade shops and restaurants. They keep The…read morequality high and I enjoy all the places the shopping area has to offer. I love just walking through it . I will miss Stonewall Kitchen which has just left. I enjoyed that store a lot. I frequent massage envy for facials and massages. Alia for facials and Becki for massages. I hope I can get in now that I have recommended them. I love Burtons fantastic quality and menu and since I am gluten free it offers so much for me. I enjoy Ted Montana's a lot. I love their bison burgers, hot fries and the salmon dinner are my go to's . There are so many wonderful shops that offer great service. The JCrew factory outlet is fab. Hill is a staple for me. I appreciate the staff at Lense Crafters and get all my glasses there. So much to offer. It's a gem!

It seems the thing that has been given the best face-lift here is the name. Driving around the…read moreoutside you can see numerous businesses that have closed and not been replaced, including a Sears, what looked like a Ruby Tuesday's or some similar restaurant, and a Bob's (wow!). You can see many additional empty stores as you walk around on the inside. On the plus side, it's very clean inside, and the stores that are here are still nice and varied. It's a pleasant place to shop if they have what you're seeking (which, fortunately for me, they did). The outside parking area is huge, and the outside of the access road tends to have new big box stores and hotels. As empty as it is, I've seen worse, and I've also seen other malls and shopping centers bounce back from worse, so perhaps there's still hope here.

This huge mall is also known as Buckland Hills Mall. It opened in 1990 and has about 145 stores…read more It's in a convenient location near the highway. There are two levels and parking was plentiful. The anchor stores are Macy's, JCPenney, Barnes and Noble, to name a few. They have plenty of restaurants and fast food in the food court. There's a carousel which reminded me of Warwick Mall in RI; however it was $5 per ride which is pretty pricey. My toddlers loved the play area; for some reason, that area was super hot when we went. The mall also reminded me of Aventura mall in Florida. I've never seen a tattoo shop in a mall but they have that. They also have a dentist office, hair salon, nail salon, spa, and eyebrow salon. A hotel is nearby. I loved that they had a dollar store in there too. You can pretty much spend a couple of hours there and it has most of your lifestyle needs. The perfect place to walk around in when it's too hot , too cold, raining, and/or snowing out. The place wasn't too crazy packed either, so it was an enjoyable experience.

Plenty of consumable household supplies, home textiles, dishes, cookware, and books. They also have some craft supplies, food, hardware, toys, cheap electronics, and more. It is located in a lower-class part of Manchester, so there are sometimes loitering homeless individuals in the area. For this reason, most of the shopping carts cannot leave the store.

Struggled between 3 and 4 stars for this one. It's a bit of a unique taste. I happen to like…read morebusinesses like this, but they are not everyone's cup of tea. I believe this was an old department store that has been converted into a multi-vendor sales space. Not necesarily an 'antique mall' (though there are some antiques). It looks like some of the spaces here switch vendors frequently. A few were empty or had signs up (showing that a vendor had left recently or was Coming Soon). The first vendor you pass (right at the front of the building as you walk in) seems to be the biggest and most stable. This is a video game store. There are also other vendors, very varied, from services (wedding photography) to antiques, furniture, artwork, toys, music, jewelry, etc. Some booths seemed to be more of a 'yard sale' aesthetic whereas others were more product-specific. Most seemed well curated, however. As long as you keep in mind that the products will vary based on when you go and what the vendors have, you may have an enjoyable time here. Pro-tip: I didn't see any parking lot specific to this building, so you'll have to use on-street parking.

This place is surrounded by Flock's mass surveillance sensors, so it is not a friendly place to be…read more However, those seem to be deployed by the town, not the owners of this plaza, so I can't blame them directly. There's plenty of parking here, and a good variety of stores, so that's all nice. The exit to Buckland Road is almost impossible to get out of at busy times of day, but the back exit has a stop light, so that works fine. The pavement is in pretty good condition, and the interior of most stores seems alright. However, due to the presence of Flock's AI surveillance systems, I'd prefer to shop elsewhere.

Very disappointed with their customer service. Apparently they don't honer their 90 day return policy. They have lost a longtime customer. Update: l ended up returning them at the Enfield store with no problem. The rep in Manchester had told me they had to be in resell-able condition. I guess they resell defective items there.

Usually I'm here to just walk around and warm up on these cold days with my dog as this is one of the places that they allow leashed dogs into the store but I'm always fearful that with all the wood there, my dog will do his business nearby. Fingers crossed so far. The workers are use to the pets coming in even if I'm still in the process of being comfortable with it. The store is large having different sections for women, men, children, and shoes along with other sections. Which brings me to my most recent time I was here. I came here with sister to exchange and return her shoes utilizing the lifetime warranty. What should have been a quick exchange turned into a pretty long time in the store as we were sent from the register to the shoe department to be helped there. As we sat and chatted while waiting for a sales associate help us we noticed that there were very few people in the store on Saturday morning around 10am when they opened yet those that were shopping had two associates helping them while we were waiting. Gave my sister time to look for the shoe she wanted and with her already knowing the size she wears it should have been quick. For her not so much but for me and my dog we were happily entertained. I can only imagine how this place is when it's busy, I personally am looking into a more professional laptop bag but I'll get it online instead.
