S ITUATED IN THE heart of
western Goleta, the Camino Real
Marketplace is a perfect shopping,
dining, and entertainment venue
for fulfilling the needs of Goleta's
employees, visitors, and residents,
as well as the students from the
nearby UCSB. Since its opening in
1998 the Marketplace has grown
to become a vital component of
Goleta's community and economy.
The Marketplace is home to thirty
businesses with a variety of options
for dining,
retail, entertainment,
and services. Many of the shopping
options offered at Camino Real cannot
be found anywhere else within a
50-mile radius, making it the prime
shopping destination for most
everyone on the South Coast.
Big-name

and
share the convenient
tion with
local
like
Home Depot, Ross, Best Buy,
HomeGoods
businesses
like Anna's Bakery, Hollister
Brewing Company, Jane At
The Marketplace, and On
the Alley. This combination of
Costco
locanational
and local businesses provides
a mutually beneficial experience
for the Marketplace's businesses,
visitors, and locals. Parking
at the Marketplace was designed
with ease of access in mind, making
any visitors' shopping experience
simple and enjoyable.
Camino Real Marketplace's success
has allowed it to establish
itself as one of the South Coast's
primary regional shopping centers,
a true shopping gem of the South
Coast. The draw this creates toward
Goleta, as well as the large share of
revenue it generates for the City of
Goleta, makes the Marketplace a
critical piece of Goleta's economic
development as the city continues to
prosper. Camino Real Marketplace
and its wide range of shopping,
dining, service, and entertainment
options will continue to play a central
role as Goleta is further cemented
as an economic center of the
South Coast.
The economic success of Camino
Real Marketplace is not the only
thing that makes the shopping center
such a prominent part of Goleta.
The Marketplace often functions as
a gathering place for both residents
and visitors, acting as a community
hub. The shopping center not only
hosts the largest movie theater on
the South Coast but it's neighbor to
other community recreational activities
like the Ice in Paradise ice rink
and Girsh Park. The Marketplace
also often hosts events ranging from
artwalks and live musical performances
to weekly farmers markets
and blood drives.
Camino Real Marketplace's slogan
" Meet me at the Marketplace " fits
perfectly with the spirit of the shopping
center, ringing true throughout
the
community. Many Santa
Barbara County residents, especially
those in Goleta can likely
recall the last time they told a friend
or family member to Meet them at
the Marketplace. Whether you are
visiting Goleta, recently moved to
the area, or are a long-term resident,
the Camino Real Marketplace
has something to offer you.
