My kids love the blind box stores that are popping up everywhere. Food court has something for everything. Not too many name brand bag stores but lots of clothing stores to visit.

The Lowe's Foods Grocery is in the middle of the strip mall, but for obvious reasons I make that my last stop. Just on the other side is the dollar store and a Sally's Beaty supply which are usually on my route, just to see if there's anything I "need". There are several restaurants in the complex- papa john's, a Chinese restaurant, sandwich delivery shop and a Mexican restaurant. There is also an Indian restaurant across the street. My trusted cobbler is in this shopping center along with a pet supply store, consignment shop and a tae Kwon do school. I know I'm leaving out a few, but you get the idea. It's at a good location too with an easy parking lot to get in and out of.

Great place for shopping absolutely love going here !! Especially Trader Joe's !! And Sephoraread more

Less than a mile from the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, this shopping center is at…read morethe southwest corner of Battleground Avenue and New Garden Road. It's a simple straight line strip mall. We were here for Greenfields NY Deli but you'll also find a jewelers, Tropical Smoothie, thrift shop, chain pizza, beer bar, nail salon, hair salon, florist, and a dry cleaners. I think all the storefront were occupied which is unusual in 2025. Other than being at a slight angle, the parking lot was smooth and easy to navigate with two exits onto New Garden Road. It's A-OK!

As soon as I knew I was moving to Greensboro, I looked for some of my favorite national chains and…read morefound them right here. The first place worth mentioning is REI. I usually park nearby, peruse the garage sale items, then go on a stroll around the whole shopping center. While I do like Whole Foods and will go there for certain specialty items, I tend to spend a little less at the gigantic Harris Teeter. There's a huge selection of clothing stores, you can get a legit (if pricey) massage at Hand and Stone, get your haircut, see a movie, and grab a great dinner from a wide range of restaurant options. This might be the most upscale shopping center in town.

In the 80s and 90s, the mall we went to the most in Greensboro was Four Seasons Mall (now Four…read moreSeasons Town Centre). It went downhill and beginning in the 2000s, we went to Friendly Center instead. This has been a general trend in America where people have shifted from going to traditional indoor malls to outdoor malls, some integrated with mixed-use developments and/or repurposed sites. Funny thing is Friendly Center has been around since 1957 and Four Seasons 1974. Both have changed over the years, for better or for worse. I came here multiple times with friends and family in 2008 and 2009. With my friends, we'd go to stores like REI, Great Outdoor Provision Co, and Barnes & Noble. It was around these years that I picked up a MacBook for my mom from the Apple Store. She returned several times for One to One trainings on how to use various Apple devices. Since 2018, I've been going to Friendly Center for Schiffman's Jewelers, for the most part. That's because I got my wife's engagement ring and wedding band from Schiffman's and have returned for inspections and cleanings. We returned just a few weeks ago to see Frances, who just celebrated 45 years at Schiffman's. Last month, I accompanied my wife and sister to Sephora and Anthropologie. Other brands that were or still are of interest to me at Friendly Center include Brooks Brothers and lululemon. There are also a Whole Foods Market and Williams-Sonoma. Friendly Center was sort of patchworked together over the years, so the design and routing aren't ideal and getting around can be confusing. It would be nice if there were maps of the property on-site, but we didn't see any during our recent visit. Also, at the time of writing this review, the map on their website is down. "Couldn't fetch map data." https://friendlycenter.com/directory Depending on what section of Friendly Center you're in, it's sometimes better to get back in your car and drive to another store than it is to walk. This is because of the awkward, inefficient layout and lack of sidewalks. Again, not ideal. The brands are the draw. Check out Friendly Center on Facebook and Instagram at the links below.

Bottom line: Sherwood Plaza is still around as it's been for decades and still serving as a solid…read moreshopping center along Robinhood Rd. Highlights for me include a good Lowes Foods location and River Birch Lodge restaurant. Nothing bad or outstanding to report, it still doing its job after all these years. The Deets: I can remember Sherwood Plaza as far back as in my early childhood, and it's gone through quite a bit of change throughout the years (haven't we all...). I remembered way back when the (now departed) local department store Peebles was there. These days, the standouts that I can recall are the grocery store anchor of Lowes Foods (pretty nice, separate review), a TJ Maxx, restaurants such as River Birch Lodge and The Sherwood, and other various stores that can be found on their website directory. It seems to be visited a lot as there is a fair amount of traffic and parking is usually almost full when entering in recent visits. I don't run especially hot or cold as far as Sherwood Plaza is concerned, it's there and serves its purpose.
