I enjoyed walking through this mall. I was able to identify several gifts immediately, ranging…read morefrom beautifully crafted jewellry to fine coats and jackets. The staff here is very knowledgeable and helpful. Beautiful store. Something to see! My favorite store of all is Native Kichwa Arts! Super selection. Trendy and traditional. Trenditional! The manager here was informative and kind. Authentic materials rooted in our wonderful past and brought to us living and filled with joy. I enjoy the colors of many of the objects but, beyond that, I really like the designs within the fabrics. The yarns and threading material used in most of the textiles is natural and durable. A testament to artistry and craft. Service here is also exceptional. Management and staff are knowledgeable abut their clothing and wares. Last but not least there are objets d'art of unqusetiinable beauty. Prices are reasonable.

This mall is laid out in a very different manner relative to other more conventional malls. It…read morelooks linear with side halls from the schematic...but it doesn't feel like it. It does not have the grand, high-ceiling, well-lit atrium most large malls would have. It's a little dim inside and feels a little dead since an alarming number of its storefronts are empty. There's also very few food options giving people less reason to spend time there. The anchors are reduced to Kohls and Penneys, and I fear for the longevity of the latter. There were very few people in the mall when I was there save a few mall walkers and a couple of people pacing on their phones. On the plus side, there is a nice children's play area outside Penneys and the large atrium at the end of the mall is a nice space, even though dark. The Easter Bunny was there and set up for kids' pictures, so there was still some evidence of at least minimal vitality. And some of the shops still open were favorites such as Penney's, Kohl's, Spencer's, Lids and Victoria's Secret. It is my theory that about 20 - 25% or so of the existing large 60s-70s-80s era malls will survive over the next few years because that wil be all that the market will support. That trend, of course, is already well underway. Those that survive will need to remake their malls into destination experiences in some way. Malls used to be entertainment hubs in themselves just because of the fact that they provided shopping and dining experiences and a place to hang out (younger crowd) or a place to escape (Mom's day out). But reduced foot traffic in malls and higher operating costs have exposed too-thin margins that are killing mall retail populations rapidly. And people shifting their tastes to experiences rather than material goods is causing consternation among retailers as well. Add to that the fact that malls aren't that attractive as hangout places anymore, which is not unrelated to the retail demise. As most malls continue to disappear or morph into something else through deliberate re-purposing (eg., residences), this one does not seem like it has the right ingredients to be a mall survivor. It just feels like a dead experience when you're there. 6 PM on a weeknight might not be at the top of primetime, but evidence of life should have been better than what I saw. This mall seems like a place where you go to pick up something at a particular store and you leave. There's little temptation to stick around once you've accomplished your purpose because there's no reason to do so. That's not sustainable for the retailers. The business model of malls dictates the opposite if it's going to work. The tenants are supposed to synergistically support each other in attracting patrons who come to browse multiple shops. It seems like this is going the way of the transition in retail that is embodying the end of an era. Change is happening rapidly in America's commercial culture. But that's life. Who knows? Maybe someone with some vision and creativity will figure out a survive-to-thrive plan for this establishment. But realistically I don't think this place will still exist in ten years, at least not as a conventional mall.

This is a great shopping center. It really does have just about every type of store and then some…read more My only gripe is that it is way too massive of a shopping center to not have some type of directional signs! At the main entrance area (just off of outer drive/sthfld service dr) there are general signs. However, once you drive into the general lot (especially on the side where target, meijer, best buy is) you're on your own trying to locate a particular store. The major stores are pretty prominent, but the smaller stores literally get lost. Actually I get lost trying to find them -( not literally, but it would be helpful to have some type of direction/idea where a store may be before I go driving around that big ass lot). Also this is not the shopping center to park and conveniently walk store-to-store. It's just too big. A few of the smaller scale stores are clustered together, but for the most part the stores/restaurants are what i would consider driving distance from each other. Sill, this is my spot! I don't mind the driving to each store because it's all of my favorite/most-frequented stores thrown into one spot!

Luckily now I live down the street and come to explore every weekend I can. It's just generally a great vibe being in this marketplace, especially on Saturdays. I love the actual food market which is made up of so many different sources, like their fresh meat counter. I don't know how they pack so many items into one market but it seems like every time I come back, there's something I hadn't noticed before. I feel like there's also quite a lot of niche products, so you can find good quality essentials but also more specific things like peppers, cheeses, or oils you may need for a recipe. If you love grocery shopping, it's a MUST visit.

They have nice shady parks, a local history museum, and lots of independent shops, coffee houses, and restaurants. Parking is phenomenally easy-- and free. While I was here, I passed The Cookie Momster, a Victorian-themed gift shop, and a Bear Claw coffee on my way to the Dexter card shop. From there, I visited Christine's, a gift shop, and bought a butterfly finger puppet for my niece whose fourth birthday is coming up soon. From there, I strolled over to the Dexter Bakery and got a really good donut. If you're looking for somewhere cute and quaint to do some shopping or meet a friend for coffee or lunch, Dexter is an excellent choice.

It has a beautiful vaulted glass skylight ceiling that lets in natural light. It is really lovely and has fun gift shops, a coffee shop, chocolate shop and more. It was built in the early 1900's and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. I don't think there are any restrooms in the building but there is a public restroom located right outside.

Nickels Arcade is always a must stop for me when I'm in Ann Arbor…read more Located in a small alley near State Street and The Diag, Nickels Arcade offers a cobblestone pathway and numerous local shops that are so incredibly unique. Most shops are closed by 5pm or 7pm so I definitely recommend stopping by early in the day if you can. However, Nickels Arcade is still perfect to stroll by in the evening as well. I wanted to visit Bon Bon, a local chocolate shoppe, but unfortunately they were closed by the time I made it during my most recent visit. I loved that they offered a menu outside so I could still look at what they offered. Another shop I'd like to stop at during my next visit is Comet Coffee. I am always interested in finding new coffee spots and the window art on Comet's window was so inviting! Other shops in the alley include a barbershop, tobacco shop, and various antique shops. Spend an hour strolling through the shops. You won't regret it!

So much has changed over the years. She saw stores come and go, and several restaurants come and go that we used to love so much. There was a burger place with the best espresso milk shakes. There was a stir fry place we loved so much that left that one of the kids cried real tears to see it gone. But today there is still a lot for us to come here for. We really love the addition of Barnes and Noble, where you will find us every time we come here, we love this book store. While it is smaller than some, it typically carries what we are looking for. We love PF Chang's and Shake Shack. I am excited to try Pokeworks at some point. I love Sephora. I am sad that Parisian/ Carsen's went out of business, but we do go to the new store from time to time. Even though this is a tiny outdoor mall, I do come to their events. This event was the Harry Potter Butterbeer Truck activity. I believe I found it first on the official Harry Potter site, then on local advertisements. It was so fun. We actually stood in line for two hours, but it was so nice out, it was worth it just soaking up the Spring air and sunshine and people watching. They have had reindeer and petting farms here during Christmas. I love their Christmas lights. We have gone to their very small art fairs and other outdoor community activities. As some stores close, they seem to find new ones to open and new restaurants, which is great. I hope they continue to plan community activities, we will continue to visit. I am probably here once a week since it is nearby.
