3.) Plan to park like a pro
Park closest to where your first and last store stops of the day will be and save yourself the headache! Take a look at our store directory to map out your plan of attack. Even if you forget, stop at one of the 16 digital directory boards located throughout the shopping center to help you find where to go!
4.) Refuel and replenish
If your blood type is caffeine or you need a snack to keep you going, you’ll need to know where the plugs are at. Starbucks & Tim Hortons are both located mid-mall on the upper and lower levels respectively near each other. On-the-go grub can be found at the Food Court on the upper level near Dick’s Sporting Goods featuring Burger King, Sbarro, Subway, Charley’s Philly, Steaks, Sushi-Q, Mr. Smoothie and more.
