The Fountains in the city of Plantation has grown to be one of the premier shopping destinations west of Fort Lauderdale.

Located at I-595 and University Drive, The Fountains was recently renovated to accommodate a more striking, modern layout with a lush tropical landscape, luxurious residential mid-rise, and plenty of parking. Doing so presented the opportunity to add top name shopping and dining venues that have drawn shoppers from all over South Florida. 

Flanked by a new, large Publix grocery store with its new White Apron cooking school as well as Whole Foods to the south and Barnes and Noble to the north, The Fountains has a list of famous names such as Kohl's, Marshall's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Office Depot, Total Wine & More and Jos. A. Bank.

And after a full day of shopping, stay for lunch or dinner. From great barbecue at Smokey Bones to endless salads at Sweet Tomatoes, classic Italian at The Olive Garden and the refreshing Lime Fresh Mexican Grill to other favorites like Chili's, Red Lobster, Applebee's and Duffy's Sports Grill, it's all here.

So whether you want to visit to shop and dine for an afternoon or stay for a lifetime, The Fountains welcomes you.
