As you walk around you will find all of the major retailers and some good food places. I got a chance to stop and rest at one of the many seating areas when my wife went in to shop at her favorites. I also got a chance to take advantage of the Military Veteran discounts at some of the stores. Many are offered.

It seemed like the same things in the stores in closer to home. I did like the Express store as most of them have closed. We came. We saw. We conquered. But we did not purchase much. One time was enough for me. See you Soon!

This mall is well maintained and pedestrian friendly. Lots of restaurants and specialty stores to satisfy your food cravings. We didn't purchase anything this outing but enjoyed the stroll among the shops.

My absolute favorite Express store. This outlet offers a huge variety of my Express staples, like…read moredressy tops for work, low rise bottoms, cute dresses, and sweaters in all shapes and sizes. My shopping partner stocks up on 1MX shirts that are always on sale at this location. This store always reminds me of the Express I fell in love with, offering a little something for everyone. The mall stores have felt a bit limited to specific, in vogue pieces lately. I love the variety of different styles offered at the factory outlet. Although none of the Express coupons are accepted at this location, they often run unbeatable specials like forty to fifty percent off the entire store. Snag a savings passbook for the outlets and save 15% off your purchase of $100!

Loved that they placed an outlet for them in the outlet mall and this is where I come for my clothes instead of the regular priced in the other malls around town, unless I'm in market for something specific and cannot find it in the outlet. Keep in mind that this is an outlet store so they don't have as much inventory as the mall stores, however they do have women on one side and men on the other and you can find some great deals in here. I love the portofino shirts and can typically get them for under $20 here compared to over $40 in the mall. The staff is always super friendly and the fitting rooms are always kept clean. Store is laid out well and even the checkout process is fast despite when there are times where the line may be longer.

Somehow I've lived in Central FL for 8-9 years now, visiting Tampa several times a month and never…read morehad even heard of the Grove. It's a fantastic shopping spot! They have such a wide variety of businesses here- TJ Maxx, Dicks, Old Navy, World Market, PetSmart, Best Buy, Ross, Five Below, Dollar Tree, Ulta, Planet Fitness and across the street the brand new massive Target. Along with this, there are tons of dining options now that Krate is open within the Grove. Krate is a little fenced in area that has about 3 rows of small businesses, mostly food and literally every variety you could want. Outside of this, there is Macondo which is a coffee shop, there's ice cream and Indian food, pizza, and more. For being such a large shopping area, I do wish the pedestrian walking paths were a little bit more interconnected. There are sidewalks in some places but other areas it's a little scary to walk to and from because there's so much traffic in and out of here.

I spent the weekend in a hotel here and decided to explore the various shops and restaurants. What a treat! Even the Target which is brand new has that "never been shopped in" feel! You think you are at a grand opening and you are the only guests. The place was empty but it was a Friday early afternoon. By the evening the place was crazy busy. Parking is amazing and every place we went into is fully accessible. So much fun! I can't wait to come back!!

The "We Don't Do Sales" Mall…read more Yesterday was Mother Daughter Day and after not seeing my mother for over 30 days I wanted to give her a proper Tampa day. The bay, the walkways, some shopping, and a stop at Columbia Restaurant which honestly was not good. Then we went to International Plaza and Bay Street thinking we would do what we always do. Browse, hunt, and find something great on sale. That is how WE shop. We walked into Altar'd State and asked where the sale section was. We were told they do not do sales there. Not even a small rack in the back. .. thought maybe it's just that store Then we went into Dillard's and asked the same question. The woman looked us up and down like we had three heads and gave us the same answer. Finally I made the realization . . This mall is built for people who pay full price and do not question it. To be fair, it is beautiful. Clean, polished, very well put together. A strong mix of stores and a surprising number of high end brands. Completely different than what I expected and it threw me off my game. But there is no thrill here. No hunt. No digging. No moment where you find that one piece that makes the whole trip worth it. Have fun shopping at full price here. I am not one of those people. I do not pay full retail ever and I am not starting now. And I know plenty of wealthy people who can afford to pay full price and they will not do it either. They know better.

It's been a while since I've been here and they definitely have a wide variety of stores. We did stop by and see the Easter bunny. The staff was super nice. They were doing a little dances and keeping the kids entertained. Also, we did find the coffee shop called E bar near Nordstrom. Which was pretty good actually. For lunch, we did stop at the food court, but I wouldn't eat there again. The food was terrible at wok o holic. There is better food outside the food court.

Stopped by this outside mall as the alternative stop instead of crowded Bonnet Springs Night Event…read more Initially this reminded me of Shops at Wiregrass in Wesley Chapel. I think it's a little bit smaller but similar layout and stores. What I didn't like the most is how dark it was. I don't think that's so safe. It was early enough to where there was at least two more hours of shopping before stores closed yet really dark. It's been about 10 years since I've been here, and it seems to look about the same as that time. They did have a Christmas tree in the center. That at least brightened the place up a bit. The stores off hand that I recall where Bath and Body, Kirkland's, a boutique with country ware, a Thai restaurant, a Vietnamese restaurant, BD's Mongolian BBQ which I was surprised to see, & a Grillsmith. They also had a movie theater and a book store. Those were some of the stores off hand. There were also a handful of empty spaces. The parking was free along the inside of the mall street parking where we parked. The Best Part Was Seeing the Bloom Mural!

Nice outside shopping area right in Lakeland…read more Our whole Fam has a great time here and they have many food options. We did notice on our last trip that there were a decent amount of store fronts now closed, hopefully other will come in soon and this isn't going to be another half full shopping center. We would really miss going here. They have a movie theatre, plenty of food choices from semi affordable to less affordable and a decent amount of stores to peruse through. Most of the stores are your basic chains, but at least you can have a nice walk outside with nice scenery while you walk. They had a huge Christmas tree, great for a photo op. The only thing this place is lacking is for a more trendy or niche/boutique stores that would sell non dept. Store/Mall items. You know something different!!! If you want to have a nice walk about while you shop/eat then check this place out, it's good for a day out with Fam for sure!!!

It did not work because I never got an email verifying it. I could not enter my information on the website for the discount store. I had to go to the regular New Balance website to do that successfully. The store is clean and well-stocked and the only reason I couldn't give five stars is because it's pretty expensive. I thought coming to an outlet mall I would save money over going to a place like Kohl's. If I were buying two pairs of shoes I might get them here because they're buy one get one 1/2 off. I'm only looking for one pair of shoes.

No idea when they changed the name to Brandon Exchange. It's been a year I have been here so maybe…read morein that time span. Someone shed some light for me on that name change. Came here bc it was a record low temp outside and we needed to walk our furbaby inside. This is a good place for it and it's dog friendly inside and there were a few dogs walking with their family. Everyone needs to stay warm ya know. Now coming in here, we park at Dillards, and I get the Wonder Years Vibes. Remember that show from back in the day with Fred Savage & Danica McKeller - Kevin and Winnie Cooper I believe. It's the faded periwinkle green carpeting that makes it so back in the day. It has that feel to it, but I know I've seen even more throw back malls. Happy that we can walk inside here with no issues. I don't come here often at all, and I just walk around. They have stores like Apple, Lush, Dicks, Macy's, Blind Tiger Coffee. I really can't remember many, but they had a cool area by Apple with photo OPPs. Kids were having fun playing on the swings. It wasn't a playground just currently a beach looking type set up that was super cute, & Cherry blossom trees on the other side of it That definitely stood out to me. Definitely not a fave mall for me, but nice that it's not too far and it's inside when the weather is extreme.
