The Fountains in the city of Plantation has grown to be one of the premiere 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, Marshalls, 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, and, of course, everyone's favorites: Chili's, Red Lobster and Applebees 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,

- Best Shopping: "A few miles from the beach, perhaps, but well worth the drive for an amazing array of shops and restaurants."
- Best for Christmas Shopping Because: Newly expanded and renovated with top-named stores and restaurants and a loyal following of locals.
- Recommended as Best Shopping Because: Having had a recent make-over with an elegant look and new businesses, this is the new look of Plantation.
