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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The shopping center is on the northeast corner of the intersection of First Colonial & Great Neck Roads. In addition to the neighborhood, Great Neck Square is convenient for those coming north from the First Colonial medical corridor. It's directly adjacent to a sister shopping center Great Neck Village on the north. You can drive from one to the next without exiting to Great Neck Road. Harris Teeter supermarket anchors the center now. It' store occupies the space of the longtime Farm Fresh, whose chain went out of business. The shopping center contains a large variety of businesses that make for neighborhood convenience. You'll find a hair salon, dental office, orthodontic center, nail salon, book store, physical therapy center, credit union, business offices and more, including Ynot Italian restaurant & Plaza Azteca eateries. Longtime out parcel Hardee's sits facing First Colonial. Adjacent is a convenient new 7-Eleven. Out parcels of Great Neck Square & Great Neck Village have contained different restaurants or fast food over the years. I remember well quick trips through their fast food choices in the late 90's to pick up lunch for my son who was at Cox High School. Great Neck Square has received facelifts that have kept the longtime shopping center a feature of the current times. It isn't often that I currently do business in the shopping center that I pass so often. Hardee's is a convenient but high calorie breakfast stop if I've had to fast before testing or a procedure at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital. 7-Eleven has been a welcomed fuel stop. Sometimes a quick stop at Harris Teeter fills a grocery need. For those who live in the neighborhood, Great Neck Square is a benefit. It's not a spot where I'll shop often.

With the addition of Harris Teeter all is good again with Great Neck Square…read more Located at the corner of Great Neck Rd. and First Colonial with every ways on both roads. Signage is on Great Neck. The lot is very large to accommodate a major grocer. Other than that it's a strip with small stores I've never shopped. A few out businesses are Hardee's and Dunkin Donuts. A new 7 Eleven is on the corner. On my last visit there was minor debris. The leasing agent is Breeden. I think they are one of the areas best.

Located in the southern portion of Virginia Beach it serves the surrounding neighborhoods with a plethora of shops, eateries and businesses. The center is aesthetically designed with many popular spots. A unique feature at the General Booth entrance is a Starbucks occupying a restored historic 19th century home. Trips to this part of town are few because it's so far from my house near the Shore Drive corridor. They're fascinating because of the rapid development in the 40 years I've lived in the city. Major roads that didn't exist then pass subdivisions and beautiful shopping areas such as Hickman Place. I've enjoyed my visits to Hickman Place. One day I'll do a deep dive into the history of what must have once been a Hickman family farm.

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.

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.

National pretzel day is April 26th and they are giving away free pretzels!

The mix of businesses has changed a lot over the years. The one constant has always been Barnes & Noble. My son, then in middle school, loved to go to B&N for computer programming books and the adjacency huge Record & CD store. It was a different day & age for music. I loved the Schlotzky's located with several other businesses on an out parcel. That area was demolished and now is the location of Shake Shack. Bed, Bath and Beyond was a favorite shopping spot. Following the demise of the chain, the building stood empty for a time. There were lots of rumors of businesses planning to occupy the space. Finally a dream came true. A new Trader Joe's just opened in a portion of the space. It's much larger than their Hilltop Store and the location is so convenient. Next to that is a new Golf Galaxy. In a nearby out parcel stands a restaurant that appears completed but not yet occupied. Another staple over the years occupies the north end of Columbus Village. Regal Columbus Cinema stands watch facing north. Thank you for continuing to provide convenient movie theaters to the Town Center area. Parking is plentiful in the shopping area that's now become a part of Town Center. It's clean, well lit & even provides parking for other Town Center shops & restaurants should one not want to park in one of the multi story city garages. The location is the southeast corner of the intersection of Constitution & Virginia Beach Boulevard. Thank you Columbus Village for your decades of shopping convenience & your evolution over time to meet the needs of each succeeding generation.
