This is why this is a shopping center that you cannot miss as they sell excellent products of all kinds. And boy, the variety of stores is very wide since there are from clothing stores (such as The Clothier’s Daughters, Rossi and Four Sisters), an oil and vinegar store, one that sells hair care products, to even a bird supply store.
The mall is also home to one of the best pet supply stores in the city: Pets-R-Us. Other of its most outstanding stores are the Alletti jewelry store, the Blooms flower store or the gift and stationery store: RSVP.
