About Phoenix Shopping

Shopping is a popular pastime in southern Arizona. Malls, shopping centers and markets are abundant and easy to find. For high style, try Biltmore Fashion Park. Desert Sky Mall, Metrocenter Mall, and Paradise Valley Mall are reliable for department stores and all the national chains you seek. Desert Ridge marketplace is a beautifully planned open-air shopping center; Kierland Commons, part of a planned community, is similar but a bit smaller in scale. Of course, being out west may induce a hankering for a new cowboy hat, boots, or a shirt for the rodeo – for the best selection, stop at Sheplers Western Wear or Cowtown Boots. The Swap meet is a unique option, similar to a flea market but with mostly new goods. Check out The Indoor SwapMart or American Park 'n Swap. -- Kim Goodin, 10Best Editor
