I'd rather spend my money where I don't have to thing about someone running down an aisle and knocking my daughter over because they don't know how to conduct themselves and you become a odd ball for speaking on behavior that is just embarrassing to them and a bad reflection on the area

I always enjoy this strip. It's well maintained and even though not new feels fresh! There are…read moreseveral businesses that I've visited over the years including Starbucks, State Farm and recently Uptown Cheapskate. More than happy to recommend shopping at Red Mill Commons.

Haygood Shopping Center is a conveniently located multi purpose shopping center on the west side of…read moreIndependence Boulevard about midway between its intersection with Virginia Beach Boulevard & its end at Shore Drive. The busy shopping center offers a number of popular eateries such as Noodle Man, Clean Eatz, The Egg Bistro, Saladworks & Kelly's Tavern. Plaza Aztecs sits on an out parcel as do fast food favorites such as Dairy Queen, Chick fil A & Gourmet Gang. A yummy pastry location that I love for birthdays is Nothing Bundt Cakes. Over the years the anchor grocer has changed as has the grocery industry. What began as A&P when I first moved to Virginia Beach was followed by now defunct Farm Fresh. The current occupant of the space is the popular Harris Teeters. A now empty space was once occupied by a large Rite Aid drugstore that included a medical equipment section not available at the chain's other locations. I'm excited about what could move into the large space. The mix of businesses in the shopping center is quite convenient. It proves such value to me in both time & gas expended. I'm able to make multiple shopping stops in the same close location. One can find everything from a UPS store & ABC Store to health foods, hair salons, clothing discounter, jeweler, insurance agency & much, much more. On the north side of the center sits a Harris Teeters Fuel Center. On an out parcel is a Bank of America Branch Office, Over the years I've seen many businesses come & go. The explosion of popular spots moving to Haygood Shopping Center came after the facelift it received at the time of the Harris Teeters opening. The center has also served as a draw for businesses to open in the surrounding area, creating a veritable island of firms serving the northern area of Virginia Beach, Thank you Haygood Shopping Center for bringing popular & convenient businesses to our area.

I know one day I came in there and I was gonna get some NyQuil $30 that's ridiculous and they're using what's going on with this to hike up the prices and that's just not this all the Stores. But as we all say God will deal with us all.

It was a nostalgia trip. This had been my "go to" lunch spot for many years. I was surprised that…read morethe shopping center that had been thriving before Covid had empty store fronts. Whitner's Barbecue of Guy Fiori's Food Network "Diners, Dives & Drive Ins" fame must have been a Pandemic casualty. In its place is the well reviewed Alohahola. Snakes & Lattes appeared to be closed. Their Website indicates "temporarily closed for remodeling". But I saw no construction activity. Panera Bread is gone leaving an empty storefront. The large Rite Aid built on an out parcel is closed. It's sad since I remember when it was built, providing a walking distance drug store during the work day. Remaining are the familiar Mo's, ABC Store & Sushi/Hibachi buffet among others. Being one who doesn't like change my nostalgic trip wasn't a positive one. But there were many Pandemic casualties. So I shouldn't have been surprised.

Parkway Plaza is an older shopping strip, but it's also well maintained…read more Located off South Lynnhaven Parkway. The sign is large enough, but sits back. The strip is known for its barrel tile. If I'm using Parkway it's for an out business Chick Fil A that sits directly off the road. I'm usually there a few times a year, it's not my usual store. I'm not a fan of the small parking lot layout. Good strip that's clean and only hitch could be parking which is a bit limited.

Greenbrier Market Center is a large shopping area located on the southwest corner of the…read moreintersection of Greenbrier & Volvo Parkways. There are a number of anchor stores including Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Harris Teeters, Marshall's, Office Max, Old Navy, PetSmart, Target, & Total Wine. Just about any type of business one would need can be found there. You'll find numerous banks, a major drug store, hobby store, beauty supplies, a chiropractor, eye doctor, denture & implant office, gaming store, furniture store, greeting card store, surf shop, clothing stores & many eateries. The center, located in the Greenbrier section of Chesapeake, is not close to me. But I frequent it relatively often because some of my doctors have offices in the nearby Sentara Careplex. After a doctor's appointment I can't resist a visit to Everbowl, my favorite Açaí Bowl shop. There is also the option of picking up a takeout dinner at Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers. Both favorites are located among the businesses located on out parcels of the market center. The shopping area is clean & well laid out with plentiful parking and a modern facade. For those who live in Chesapeake this is a large and convenient place to shop. For those of us who live quite a distance, it's a regular stop if one of my favorites is there. It's a fun and delicious finale to a doctor's appointment.

I love all the Hilltop Shopping Centers and this is no different because it is home to some shops I…read morelove like Taste, Plant House, Melting Pot, etc. It goes on and on and on. You can find restaurants here, jewelry, home goods, foods, plants, electric bikes, furniture, gifts, Hallmark... it's home to some great locally owned shops that I frequent pretty often as well as an ice cream shop, Starbucks, and Ethan Allen and Fresh Market. It's an absolutely huge shopping center that has multiple entrances and exits so you can easily get in an out. Note: I do recommend you only enter and exit with traffic lights as the access roads for Laskin are notoriously confusing and frustrating to deal with. I'll be glad when they're gone... perhaps in the next 15-20 years? Ha. Still, worth the visit.

Home to a few places I frequent quite often. Known generally as Hilltop, it is specifically Hilltop…read moreEast and signage has the same. The location is the NE corner of Laskin and First Colonial. Best entry point is Laskin where their are two entrances. The furthest East is less congested. I've always found plenty of parking and the lot is impeccably clean. Lighting is great at night. Access to the businesses is great from the surface lot. So some of my favorite businesses located in Hilltop East are The Butcher's Son (previously Fire & Vine), Bottlecraft, Taste, YMCA, Great Outdoor Provision Co. and Birkenstock store. There are many more to check out. The Hilltop area is an upper-scale strip that is in a beautiful area of Virgina Beach only three miles from the oceanfront. I will continue to shop and eat at establishments in the area and recommend.

Great Neck Square has been a shopping source for the Great Neck area of Virginia Beach for a long…read moretime. The shopping center is on the northeast corner of the intersection of First Colonial & Great Neck Roads. In addition to the neighborhood, Great Neck Square is convenient for those coming north from the First Colonial medical corridor. It's directly adjacent to a sister shopping center Great Neck Village on the north. You can drive from one to the next without exiting to Great Neck Road. Harris Teeter supermarket anchors the center now. It' store occupies the space of the longtime Farm Fresh, whose chain went out of business. The shopping center contains a large variety of businesses that make for neighborhood convenience. You'll find a hair salon, dental office, orthodontic center, nail salon, book store, physical therapy center, credit union, business offices and more, including Ynot Italian restaurant & Plaza Azteca eateries. Longtime out parcel Hardee's sits facing First Colonial. Adjacent is a convenient new 7-Eleven. Out parcels of Great Neck Square & Great Neck Village have contained different restaurants or fast food over the years. I remember well quick trips through their fast food choices in the late 90's to pick up lunch for my son who was at Cox High School. Great Neck Square has received facelifts that have kept the longtime shopping center a feature of the current times. It isn't often that I currently do business in the shopping center that I pass so often. Hardee's is a convenient but high calorie breakfast stop if I've had to fast before testing or a procedure at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital. 7-Eleven has been a welcomed fuel stop. Sometimes a quick stop at Harris Teeter fills a grocery need. For those who live in the neighborhood, Great Neck Square is a benefit. It's not a spot where I'll shop often.

With the addition of Harris Teeter all is good again with Great Neck Square…read more Located at the corner of Great Neck Rd. and First Colonial with every ways on both roads. Signage is on Great Neck. The lot is very large to accommodate a major grocer. Other than that it's a strip with small stores I've never shopped. A few out businesses are Hardee's and Dunkin Donuts. A new 7 Eleven is on the corner. On my last visit there was minor debris. The leasing agent is Breeden. I think they are one of the areas best.

College Park Square Shopping Center was a convenient location to stop following my service…read moreappointment at the Kia dealership in Greenbrier. The strip center is one that appears to be on the decline. It's anchored by a Food Lion, Roses Department Store and a large empty space between the two. Theres a neighborhood mix of stores which include auto parts, fast food, ramen, pizza, comfort & soul food, wireless, goodwill and a tax service. An out parcel space holds a Long John Silver's fast food restaurant. Another appears to have been torn down. Footprints of a building remain. A Wells Fargo Bank occupies the remaining out parcel. Parking is plentiful with handicapped parking spaces near the store where I shopped. The location is on S Military Highway just south of the Providence Road intersection. I'll stop again if I'm in the area again and need to pick up a few grocery items.

I've had a few businesses that I frequented over the years in plaza. Years ago I was a regular at Subway that's still there. Also a dance studio that may still be there. Most recently a very regular at Colattao Coffee. Parking is typically adequate, but at times challenging with coffee lovers on the weekend. Most visits I find the lot to be overall clean. A 3 stars seems fitting for this dated shopping strip.
