Celebration pointe is a nice but small local venue of a few shops, restaurants and a movie theatre…read more Big names like Bass pro shops and Nike seem to be the only big stores there. While walking around, I noticed there are a lot of empty retail spaces so hopefully they will get some good tenants to make the space a lot more diverse to shop and eat.

Celebration Pointe tries to bring that big-city entertainment feel to Gainesville, but it falls…read moreshort in a lot of ways. I was expecting more variety--maybe some premium outlets or a better selection of shops--but there's really not much to shop for. It's mostly a place to walk around, grab a bite, or catch a concert. The only reason I come here is for the movie theater, which is nice. The restaurants are okay, but the only one truly worth checking out is Spurrier's. The whole place just feels like it's missing something--there's no real soul, no diversity, and not enough retail options to make it a true shopping destination. If you're looking for a place to stroll or see a show, it does the job. But if you're expecting a shopping and entertainment hub like Orlando, you might be disappointed.

This mall reminds me of the orlando mall, fashion square ... it's like a ghost town and…read moreStores have very old selection of sale and clearance items. Anchor stores are Belk and JC Penney ( not my type of stores ). The only stores I found interest in were journeys, Victoria secret and H&M . This is definitely not my type of mall as I like more luxury stores and a good GAP and bath and body works. I guess it caters to the local college kids which makes sense.

In a time where enclosed malls are becoming extinct Oaks Mall has its share of foot traffic. The…read morefood court is pretty bustling with Mi Apa (Cuban), a Chinese/Hibachi restaurant, Chick Fil A and a few others too. There are a few known anchor stores and some of the normal smaller chains too inclusive of a Starbucks allowing for a good mixed selection of stores. The prices and value of offerings were inline with what would be expected at a mall. Being flanked by UF and SF I am sure it gets really busy from Aug to May. The service offered by everyone I came in contact with was fair to good.

Our first time shopping in the cosmetics section, very large selection of everything any man or…read morewoman will need to look great. It's much better shopping late at night (8ish)

The store was great, first time in, was happy to shop until some kid about 19. REALLY important…read moreemployee I can tell stood 2 feet away from me as I looked st some "not very expensive " costume jewelry . I could tell he felt it was his duty lest I run off with those cheap earrings but to hurry me along he kept asking me if I was "ok" .(4X) I found the whole situation very amusing as I'm positive that my bi weekly salary probably surpasses his yearly salary. Please Teach these child employees it's very off putting to treat customers as Potential thieves. ( there was already a lovely young woman behind the jewelry counter assisting me) I bought $53.00 Worth of costume earrings then headed back to J.C. Penney's to buy the 2 $300.00 gold rings I intended to buy as Christians gifts, no child security over your shoulder there lol.

As many of you know I build restaurants. This plaza holds are newest location. This is a pretty…read morenice plaza but the parking does get crowded pretty quick. It is a newer plaza just east of I-75 on archer road. Yea I know traffic sucks too. This is a totally brand new unit. We walked into 3 walls and a roof with a lot of glass. Now it has walls and ceilings and rooms and looks like a restaurant.I really think no I KNOW that it will do really good. There is nothing scratch cooked for maybe 3 miles. This exit is the fast food / chain store heaven. Sin about a month you too can swing in and see our latest handywork.

It's a cute place with easy parking, but not the kind of shopping center you just wander around in. The stores are very specific and kind of random. The women in the Gator fashion store were really friendly and so was the team in the bead shore, but there wasn't really anything else we were interested in.

There is also a great massage spa and a European market with free chocolate tastes :) I would like to see this place beautify the center square a little more and develop a sense of "come relax here." A nice cafe with outdoor seating could also really help the center take off.

Stopped over twice as they had a good selection of winter items on clearance which was what I needed for the weather over the weekend. I scored some new colors in workout gear and racked up for my little one as this location had her size in a lot of apparel. I wish they had more track n field items such as spikes and warm ups since indoor meets run January - March and this location would make ALOT of money from the teams traveling and staying near by. Service was really good and everyone was helpful. The fitting rooms were super clean and the store was very chest and organized.

Finding that balance can be tough but thanks to the values instilled by Nike they persevere and ultimately Just Do It. I have got great deals from this store and look forward to many more. From shoes to backpacks and clothing, there is nothing not to like about Nike besides the prices on some of the merchandise. Utilizing the app and other benefits one can find great discounts and would benefit from staying loyal to the Nike soil!

I walked every aisle and almost had 3 carts full of items ( no judgement zone lol ) Top brands in clothing , skin care and luggage with such good prices. The only section that wasn't great were the bath items as I found no sand & fog lotions , scrubs , or oils which was so disappointing. The staff were so nice and the store was the most organized I've ever seen at a TJM. I will be back for sure and bringing my besties lol !!!!
