The prices don't always seem like they are a bargain, so you really need to know what you're looking for and at what price you're willing to pay. There is definitely something for everyone. I was on a quest for finding a new Easter dress and hubby wanted to go to Columbia. There is a cute play area for the little kids and this visit I noticed a couple of food trucks that I had never seen before. This parking lot is a little wonky and not very easy to get in/out and around. Signage could be better as well. During the Fall/Christmas time it is definitely much more busy. We came midweek and during the day, so there was plenty of parking and it wasn't crowded at all.

This is one of the more interesting aspects of it with a massive Japanese supermarket (Mitsuwa) just a little way down from a really awesome strip mall featuring all kinds of Asian goodies and a very cool food court, where a whole host of different selections are on offer. Everything looks brand new and as you can see Barbie looked great when we came here.

If there's a knock at all with the development at large, it's the lack of access on the west side, courtesy of the right-of-way reserved for a light rail deal which may never happen. Ingress on the north side is OK, and egress is fine if you're going east, not so much if you're going west. If you're going to be a regular customer, you'll probably discover that the north-south Allen Station Parkway along the east side is your best friend in terms of access. All in all, a nice place to visit, and you can shop, dine and be entertained, all in the same area.

I enjoyed my visit and bought too much, lol. The store is massive -- more clothing and definitely more furniture, home decor, and housewares. If you are a book lover like me, you will appreciate the Diane Schoch Book Nook. The selection of adult and children's books was impressive. Lots of fiction, non-fiction, hardbacks, paperbacks, videos, etc, etc, etc. Everything in the store was organized and inviting, and the prices are competitive for our area. TIP: ACO has created a division inside the store called: Patricia Ann McGarity Volunteer Center. It offers wonderful opportunities for the community to help in many ways. Heads up for those of you trying to earn community service hours for scouts, scholarships, personal goals, etc. What's truly inspiring is how this store supports our local community. Donations go to needy families first (I'm not sure how you can enroll). I know that items not selected roll over into the resale store, and those proceeds help fund and assist with other kinds of support. FIVE STARS!!

Also the mall is closer than this shopping center and they have the same type of stores. Walked it today and it's sad how it's declined. No Macy's and many restaurants have closed their doors. Not sure how this happened but it's sad. The dot com era has made people lazy. Unfortunately this is the outcome. I hope the people managing this shopping center property can come up with something other than getting a hardware store and insurance company to move in. I can't believe that they haven't thought of this when they all the buildings operating. Why isn't there a monorail, tram, connecting the Allen Outlet mall to the Fairview shopping center .

It reminds me of some Burlington's that are not staffed well, it just sucks as the shopper when you are on a time crunch.

Maybe next time, but I'll probably try a different one.
