The Commons offers retails choices situated on manicured streets with one, two, and three-story buildings. It is designed to give shoppers a “main-street” feel.

Arizona Mills Mall
Arizona Mills is often promoted as an outlet mall, and there are outlet stores here but not all of them are. Are they cheaper? Sometimes yes, sometimes no! Arizona Mills is a favorite with the younger crowd; it has a reputation for being loud and crowded. Easy access by public transportation may be one of the reasons this is a favorite hang-out mall. There are about 170 stores and restaurants at Arizona Mills.
Anchor or main stores at Arizona Mills: Last Call from Neiman Marcus, OFF 5TH Saks Fifth Avenue Outlet, JCPenney Outlet Store, Burlington Coat Factory, Marshall's
