I love Fenton Marketplace. I basically live here! Lol. There's a Costco, Lowe's, IKEA, lots of restaurants and shops here. Soooo much parking as well but it gets crazy during the holidays and school breaks. Excellent customer service from staff at almost all the stores and restaurants. Diverse cuisines throughout the market place. The line to Costco is always busy; I suggest taking other routes to enter the market area. read more

Bad traffic pattern getting in here, the problem being the COSTCO gas station. They will tow you easily if you stay here too long. Large store brands here to include IKEA, good food places and the LOWEs. read more

Disappointing experience at Fenton Marketplace. Limited store selection, confusing layout, and a drab atmosphere made for an unenjoyable visit. Vacant storefronts and a sad food court didn't help. Parking lot was also a mess. Won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Fenton Marketplace - Shopping Centers Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

This place is a busy shopping center especially on the weekends and in the afternoons because of the Costco, Costco Gas, and IKEA. The Costco Gas station gets really busy on the weekends and in the afternoons. The best time to hit the gas station is in the early morning. On the weekends, it can be backed up on Friar's Road. They have added more pumps but the location is not ideal for the amount of customer they serve on a daily basis. San Diego's only IKEA is located here. Luckily the parking lot is large enough to accommodate the traffic of both the IKEA and Costco. Lowe's is the other anchor store here. Parking by the Starbucks's is tight in the morning with everyone getting their caffeine fix. Surprisingly, this location has no drive thru considering how busy the location is. The four way intersection right next to it is confusing as those entering do not have a stop while the three other do. Oggi's, Islands, Luna Grill, IHOP, a chinese take out, and Cold Stone are the main places to eat. On the other end by Costco Gas, are a sushi restaurant and McDonald's. Also, there is the Costco food court and IKEA cafe for cheaper alternatives. Hidden in the corner by the IKEA is a public library. It is the only place that has a security guard. Overall, the there is a lot to do here but it is not pedestrian friendly. Drivers are a little aggressive when driving through the mall. read more

This is a terrible establishment managed by an even worse property management company, in Sudberry Properties. Given their proximity to SnapDragon Stadium, they will put up signs stating "no event parking" without specifically stating that they will have your vehicle towed if you leave the premises even if you purchase an item at one of the stores located at the property. They evidently will keep track of your movements through surveillance and do what they they think is ethical and fair despite you being a paying customer and there being numerous parking spots. In short this will cost you $400 in order for you to retrieve your vehicle from a questionable towing location. They are weak spoilt spineless companies lacking any honor or moral integrity. I can only hope that Karma rips their corporate throats to shreds and spits them out in the gutter where they belong. read more

Fenton Marketplace - Outside Fenton Marketplace - Shopping Centers Near Me - San Diego, California

Today 9/11/24 I drove to Fenton Marketplace to purchase 1 IKEA item. I chose to wait for a parking spot that would allow me to limit my walking distance due to physical limitations. While waiting for such a spot several different 30-ish women had issue with my desire to wait to the side, insisting I move on. I declined and told them I was not in a hurry, and would listen to podcasts while I waited. Two such women delayed their exit from their spot so that I would not be able to later use the space their vehicle occupied. They both called security after pulling their vehicle back into the space they had intended to vacate, as if my waiting for a space was somehow offensive. I was finally able to secure a spot several spaces down without issue. Six security folks stood around and observed me return a large group of carts to the store (I use carts to help me ambulate), buy one item and return to my vehicle. The behaviors exhibited by these women are evidence of a deeper ethnic issue and resentment that has nothing to do with me, yet they chose to create a situation that was of their own doing. read more

These a-holes towed my car leaving me stranded in a dark parking lot late at night, the signs warning about towing were not clear or visible, super predatory and unethical read more

Fenton Market Place houses several large businesses including IKEA, Lowes, and CostCo in addition to several smaller business and restaurants. This is the place that EVERYONE in San Diego County visits every now and then, simply because it is the only IKEA in town. We all love cheap furniture and random home accents I guess. It is a bit of a chore to come here, but it is a hard place to avoid. Recommendation: DO NOT come here on the weekend if you can at all avoid it. It is just crazy with people! Parking: The developers did a good job having enough parking to accommodate all of these businesses that draw such large numbers of people; however it is a difficult parking lot to get around. This makes for a frustrating overall experience if you are visiting because it the only location of your bank within a 5 mile radius or for groceries and not to make a special trip to the discount furniture store. Location & Decor: This is the typical California style that is spreading the nation I am sad to say. All of the buildings are clad with tons of stucco and stone. read more

I live pretty close to this place and parking is not that bad. Like every "popular" shopping place (in San Diego) weekends are not the best. When you are in "America's Finest City" that's just what you have to deal with BUT you can find parking and plenty of it. There is the ONLY Ikea we have in San Diego located here so naturally everyone that wants Ikea shops at this Ikea. There is a Costco, Lowes, Islands Restaurant, a Sprint store and many places to eat (strip mall type places). There actually is a LOT of parking and it has NEVER filled up 100%, so yeah you may have to walk a little ways but parking is 100% FREE. I would say it is a very busy place at times but a GREAT place to come to and not to be scared away from! read more

I needed a new stove. Tried multiple times to call the Mission Valley Lowe's store. They never answered the phone. Ordered my stove online. Just had delivery today, May 5. Two guys in my home with no masks - I've been in lockdown since March 16 because I'm high risk for the COVID19 virus. Not happy about that at all - masks are required in San Diego. I gave very thorough instructions on how to find my home. They weren't followed, and I had to meet the installers to show them. The wrong power cord was provided. I told them to use the old one. No one from Lowe's listens, which is why I'm writing this review on Yelp. Unsat. read more

The view from this valley is particularly inspiring. A breeze often flows through the large mall, drawing one's gaze up the craggy rock race of the cliffs to the vegetation and landscaping in view at the top where one comes to rest in happy splendor at this ancient and natural formation in San Diego we get to see while we shop. This market is useful! large, busy, containing an IKEA and a Costco it's no small shopping accomplishment to visit both! read more

I hope this message gets to the awful stepmom who stood by the fountain in Fenton Marketplace badmouthing and verbally abusing her stepson, Jacob, to a fellow mom. Every awful thing you said about Jacob and the countless times you said you didn't want him or that you wish he'd go away, he was well within earshot. In fact, he was many times standing right next to you. You are a verbal, emotional and psychological abuser. He is a child...I'm guessing he's only three years old. He is not responsible for the fact that you have made bad decisions that you now regret, i.e. having a baby with a man you knew already had a child. I am guessing you were aware that Jacob existed when you got pregnant by his father? You'd now like Jacob's father to ditch him because you came along? If all the awful things you said about an innocent child today are any measure of who you are as a human being, then you are hardly a prize worth leaving one's child for- you are no doubt a nightmare to this child, but he has no recourse but to accept you. He cannot make choices for himself. I also heard you tell your "friend", the fellow mom you were with, that you've threatened to leave if Jacob's father doesn't get rid of Jacob. Let's hope that if Jacob's father has any idea how terribly you treat his son, he'll leave you. And what your friend advised is correct-you will have to share custody of your baby with Jacob's father. If Jacob's father reports your abuse of Jacob-yes even verbal, emotional and psychological abuse- you could likely lose custody of your baby. Now imagine your baby in the care of an awful stepmother, like yourself, who abuses and makes your child feel unloved and unwanted just because they think they should be the center of the world. Karma has a strange way of leveling the playing field. Perhaps, it's time you wise up. You are an adult. Jacob is a child. Have compassion for Jacob, for this poor child who not only has to live separated from his biological mother, but he has to live with a mean and cruel stepmother who hates on him because she has to share his dad. Hopefully, someone who knows your name will report you to CPS. If not now, then eventually Jacob will enter school and start sharing your abuse with his teachers. But that could be years from now, when it's too late and you've entirely crushed his self esteem and self worth. You are a detriment in Jacob's life-don't doubt that for a second. You're also raising his half-brother. Wouldn't you rather have your son around a mentally-well, healthy and happy half-brother? You are the center of your infant's world at present. But, that will not always be-in fact, it won't be long until Jacob has a bigger and stronger influence on his baby brother. You'd be wise to be kind, fair and loving to both children. At present, you abuse an innocent child. He will not always be a child who has no choice but to sit there has you verbally degrade and emotionally deprive him. I pray someone will intervene on Jacob's behalf for he has an evil stepmother. read more
