Because of this the parking lot fills up quickly, since the parking ratios for the showroom and full retail for Walmart are vastly different, so there appears to be shortage.

The parking lot(s) can get a little crazy, but it's actually not as bad as other locations. And there's plenty of parking, so no issues there. What I like about this center is that it has a little bit of everything. They have fast food (McDonald's), sit-down restaurants (BW3, Thai food, Indian food, etc.), shopping (Target), and plenty of other places I just haven't even noticed yet. I wish I lived near a shopping center like this, it truly is a one-stop shop for anything you need.

Albertson's grocery store is the anchor store (used to be Lucky's over 20 years ago. Wish they hadn't changed because their prices were so much lower.) CVS drug store is the other anchor on the opposite side. There's never an issue with trying to find a parking spot because there's plenty of parking. Although parking in the lower section with Chase bank, Skybound, La Michoana Disco, and the other stores can get really tight. Don't even try to shop here early in the morning or around 2:30 pm in the afternoon when school is in session because it can be a nightmare with all the kids walking through the parking lot and parents dropping them off.
