Who doesn’t love to buy themselves something new and shiny? Especially when the shopping is this good! Arizona is a great place to enjoy a little retail therapy! We have it all; high-end malls, outlets, thrift stores, local boutiques, and pop up shops! Below are some of our favorite go-to spots to shop!
Scottsdale Fashion Square – Old Town Scottsdale
When Arizonians think shopping, this is the first place their mind goes. Fashion Square has so much to explore! Nordstrom, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Co., and pretty much any other high-end brand you can think of. Fashion Square is on top of it. It is a lot of ground to cover, so make sure you head in with a plan!
The Outlets at Anthem – Anthem
Anthem is halfway to Sedona, if you ask most Phoenicians. However, it is definitely the spot, Westsiders will go, to explore some awesome deals for popular brands. The Outlets at Anthem is home to brands such as North Face, Guess, Under Armour and Ralph Lauren! You can expect killer deals, and an overall pleasant experience. It is 100% worth the drive.
Desert Ridge Marketplace – North Phoenix
Desert Ridge has it all! Great dining, entertainment, and shopping for all! It is sort of your one-stop-shop for all things fun. They even have a Dave and Busters, which we all know, is a great place to kill a few hours! It is also very close to up and coming Highstreet, which is also known for its shops and dining.
Scottsdale Quarter – North Scottsdale
The Quarter (as locals call it), is an outdoor shopping center that is home to a few boutique- style shops, as well as some bigger brands. However, it isn’t as intimidating as Fashion Square. We love The Quarter because it is also a hub for local businesses. So, if you’re feeling like you want a high-end experience, without marathoning an entire mall…this is your go-to spot! You can also experience Kierland, which is right across the street!
Biltmore Fashion Park – Biltmore Area
Last but not least, is Biltmore Fashion Park. I like to think of the Biltmore as The Quarter’s more sophisticated older sister. It has a plethora of options for dining and shopping, and is right in the heart of one of Phoenix’s most sought after neighborhoods! You can find stores like Lululemon Athelitca, M.A.C, Pottery Barn, and Saks! Enjoy a cocktail at The Capital Grille, after a long day of shopping!
Arizona is home to many great places to shop. We didn’t even touch on Chandler Fashion Center, Tempe Marketplace, or Westgate! However, the point is: You have OPTIONS!
