One of my favorite shopping centers/plazas in Apache Junction, Arizona. Home to many great local…read moresmall businesses; such as, Mono no Hana, Oldies Subs & Ice Cream, Water 'n Ice, Ace Hardware, and more. Additionally, the city's chamber of commerce is within this plaza. I've had hundreds, yes, hundreds of visits to this plaza since being born and raised here. Some businesses come and go, but some staples have had my business for 20+ years like the Water 'n Ice store. Chris is truly amazing remembering both my dad and me by name. They recently went from $.25 to $.35 gallon, but well worth it to support their small business. If you are visiting Apache Junction, this is the plaza I encourage you coming to! Authentic Japanese food locally ran, ice cream scoops that are large yet affordable, a flower shop that's family owned & operated, and so much more! Visit and shop local.

We stopped in this plaza to check on one of restaurants rumored to be closed. Nope it was open and…read moredoing a good business. I talked to staff and he did say they were on vacation for one month. I asked if there was a note on the door telling patrons of the closure. He said he thought so. In any event I can vouch that they are alive and well. Shared parking lot.

Creations Boutique is located in the Tempe Marketplace. I miss the Creations store near me…read more Unfortunately, the store couldn't get enough customer support to keep it going. The store carries the trendy fashions for women. They dress up many of the mannequins with their outfits. That's such a good idea to get the sales going. The store has many types of accessories, such as sunglasses, jewelry, scarves, purses, and small gifts. Shared parking lot.

This is a shopping center that I'm often at, but also often frustrated how the parking lots are…read morelaid out. It easily causes much frustration and could use an investment of funds to make the flow better. I imagine that there are multiple accidents. Though, I can only complain so much since parking is free. Other areas charge for parking or have packing structures, so at least you aren't dealing with that. Despite the parking lot frustration, I find myself frequenting multiple businesses whether on the East side or the West side of the shopping center. The East side doesn't have as many places I frequent, but there is Village Inn as well as In n Out that I periodically pop in to. About once a year, I'll see a movie at AMC as I can never seem to justify the price to see a movie out. Check out this shopping center for good service and selection whether at a chain business or a family owned business. Prices at various locations seem similar to other shopping centers.

I've been to this shopping center many times. My only complaint would be the parking lot.

However, the stores here are pretty decent. I've never had too many issues with any of the stores here.

I love finding trinkets and souvenirs from my travels that represent the local culture. Indigenous…read moreseemed like it might be a place to do just that. There are a lot of native American themed items-jewelry, pottery, dream catchers, etc. They are lovely, and reasonably priced, however I noticed that many had tags on them stating that they were made elsewhere. I'm sure they are still representing different tribes, just not necessarily all from Arizona. If you're ok with that, then there is plenty to choose from here.

It's nice to see locally-made hand-crafted items in the Phoenix Skyway Airport Terminal 4. Some of…read morethe merchandise is crafted using ancient techniques. The southwestern pottery, carved fetishes and handmade silver jewelry is lovely. Other merchandise is typical airport souvenirs - mass produced Arizona mugs and locally themed hot sauce. The prices are high but what you'd expect for artisan items in an airport shop. The clerk let patrons look without pressure as he listened to talk radio. It's a great place to pick up a gift if you didn't have time to shop outside the airport.
