BestBets GLENDALE CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU PHOENIX & CENTRAL ARIZONA Shopping You’ll find malls galore in this region—indoor, outdoor, intimate, vast—as well as unique, freestanding boutiques. The greatest upscale retail concentration is in downtown Scottsdale, which not only hosts the 1.8 million-square-foot Scottsdale Fashion Square, with names like Nordstrom and Barneys New York, but also is home to several antiques and art gallery districts, including Fifth Avenue, Marshall Way and Main Street. In Phoenix, Biltmore Fashion Park counts Ralph Lauren and Saks Fifth Avenue among its tenants, while converted downtown neighborhoods like Roosevelt Row have edgier shops and galleries. Tempe, home to Arizona State University, caters to the collegiate crowd on Mill Avenue, and to bargain shoppers of all ages at Arizona Mills, featuring discounters like Marshalls. Those with a penchant for things past head for Glendale, with more than 90 antiques emporia. Casa Grande offers convenient retail stops halfway between Phoenix and Tucson—shop The Promenade at Casa Grande and Outlets at Casa Grande, both flanking Interstate 10.
