Built in 1976, Palmetto Park Square is a 195,000 square foot shopping plaza over 25 acres. It is…read morelocated at I-95 and Palmetto Park Road. The shopping center is anchored by Publix. I have been coming To Palmetto Park Square for years. When my daughter was a toddler we would pick up donuts to take to the park from the long since closed Krispy Kreme. For many years the plaza had one of the last K-Marts around. It has been abandoned for years now although it is currently hosting a Spirit Halloween. It is a real eye sore and should be torn down so it can be replaced. On the day after Christmas you can always find me at the Hallmark scooping up the half priced Christmas ornaments and decorations. I have eaten at the Denny's, gotten take out from the Chinese restaurant, and the Keke Cafe has been a recent discovery that has now become a favorite breakfast and lunch spot. Palmetto Park Square is really close to I-95 and that along with the great mix of businesses keeps me coming back.

This strip mall has a few anchor stores like Publix and Spirit Halloween (seasonal). There's about…read more30 commercial spaces, some of them vacant right now...What I noticed was that as you approach the stores, the trees cover the majority of the signs, so you really can't tell where stuff is...until you get very close. Many mom and pop stores like cafes and small businesses, they have a nice Hallmark store and a Great Clips as well.

The Northridge Shopping Center on the northwest corner of East Commercial Boulevard and North Dixie…read moreHighway. It was built in 1973 making it 50 years old this year. The shopping center sees a lot of traffic from Oakland Park and the surrounding towns of Pompano Beach and Wilton Manors. It is also close to I-95. This shopping complex is massive with 38 businesses. The plaza is anchored by a Publix and I find it very strange that there is another Publix right across the street although this one was here first and the one across the street has a Starbucks inside. I have shopped at so many of the businesses in this plaza. I can pretty complete any errand here. Businesses I patronize include the Dollar Tree, Ross Dress for Less, Petco, PNC, Tijuana Flats, Dunkin's Donuts, Five Below, Party City, and Uptown Cheapskate. There is also a Quest Diagnostic, Dentistry, uBreakfix, Smoothie King, H&R Block, USA Nails Spa, and Youfit Health Club to name just a few of the other businesses. The parking can be a bit of cluster especially by the Publix. The wide range of businesses make up for it though. Unlike a lot of shopping plazas in the area, they rarely have an open space. From places to eat, shop, and have services done, you can't beat the Northridge Shopping Center.

I like the Northridge Shopping center. Located at the corner of Commercial and Dixie Highway, it's…read moreclose to many things like I-95, stores, restaurants, towns like Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, Coral Ridge, Imperial Point, etc. Many of the anchor stores are really nice, large and good value such as Dollar Tree, Ross for Less, Five Below, Rainbow, Publix, Petco and more.... There's always plenty of parking and a good amount of restaurants where you can get sushi, Mexican and much more...

There are several other small businesses in this complex, but the main draw is the grocery store and the dollar store. There are several fast food eateries around like Wendy's, Pollo Tropical and Boston Market as well as some eateries in the shopping center. Lots of businesses geared towards beauty care and supplies.

Great location just west of Pines Blvd from i75 offering lots of retail stores and eateries…read more Parking is extremely tight at night but overflow spaces available at the TD Bank. Nori Tori Asain buffet is awesome and came here today for the lunch buffet $18.99. Before lunch today, I checked out the electric bicycles at Durango Bikes and found a good deal. Russo's Coal Fired Italian Kitchen recently closed and coming soon a Shake Shack will take its place. Also the Pet Supermarket closed and The Tree House is being built out. The Whole Foods and Planet Fitness are the two big anchors. There are two free standing banks - Chase and TD. Three entrances into the plaza from Pines Blvd but the traffic is horrible.

They include Bolay, Party City, All Pets Emporium, Mattress Firm, Pure Barre, TYD Bank, Great Clips, Nori Tori Sushi Buffet, T-Mobile, Chase Bank, Orange Theory Fitness, Massage Envy, Planet fitness, and Whole Foods. I have been to this plaza several times, most recently to Hot Chicks House of Chicken. It is a very useful plaza with several places to work out and bank along with many choices of places to dine. The most unusual thing I saw this visit was a long strip of Tesla charging stations and almost everyone of them had a car. This is not the first strip mall I have seen with charging stations but Cobblestone definitely had the most. They are all ready prepping for the future.

Today I experienced that issue when visiting Haute Coffee. Only a few other businesses including Brooks Cremation and Funeral Service and Davie Kava. The biggest draw in the plaza is Billy's Tavern where we had beer and pizza providing a neighborhood atmosphere with a sports theme and you will definitely bump into someone you know.
