The prices don't always seem like they are a bargain, so you really need to know what you're looking for and at what price you're willing to pay. There is definitely something for everyone. I was on a quest for finding a new Easter dress and hubby wanted to go to Columbia. There is a cute play area for the little kids and this visit I noticed a couple of food trucks that I had never seen before. This parking lot is a little wonky and not very easy to get in/out and around. Signage could be better as well. During the Fall/Christmas time it is definitely much more busy. We came midweek and during the day, so there was plenty of parking and it wasn't crowded at all.

Also the mall is closer than this shopping center and they have the same type of stores. Walked it today and it's sad how it's declined. No Macy's and many restaurants have closed their doors. Not sure how this happened but it's sad. The dot com era has made people lazy. Unfortunately this is the outcome. I hope the people managing this shopping center property can come up with something other than getting a hardware store and insurance company to move in. I can't believe that they haven't thought of this when they all the buildings operating. Why isn't there a monorail, tram, connecting the Allen Outlet mall to the Fairview shopping center . Two rails keep the customer coming in and out without having to worry about parking and the traffic. Hope this Fairview shopping center gets revived.

Story time: there is free boxing classes for women once a month in the SAME parking lot at hidden gym I leave after my very hard but fantastic class to find out I'm locked out of my very big and bulky mom van. No worries, call the husband. He's slow, I have 2 hours until he arrives with the spare key. I dash over to good will, pick up a few items I DONT need and as I'm watching the items someone is watching ME. She's eyeing me as I'm going from post to bin and then as I'm snatching the buy tag off of a $30 couch I will be buying asap. Ma'am, how can I help YOU? She walks over and says Hey random stranger, I see your having a ball here in this crusty dusty goodwill, why don't you take a gander up the street and around the corner to this place that's LIKE good will but better. Me thinking to my self, you giving me directions like I didn't just walk over here. Long story even longer, I end up buying the goodwill couch , she points me over to this store and I walk in and it's like the Coach of second hand stores! Remember I said I had 2 hours, well my very bougie attorney friend lives around the corner, she called during my initial " I'm locked out" and was already on her way and decided to pull up the moment I stepped into this glorious second hand store. I quickly survey the entire store in oh I'd see 3 mins flat and spot ANOTHER couch I could take my eyes on. I had already scanned all the other couches and the prices were $200-300. The couch tho in question.. THIRTYYYYY DOLLLLLARS. That's right $30! So I wait in the very long lined purchase the couch , hop in the car with my bougie friend while she's tapping her gums about legal jargon I could care less about and ahhh!! A sigh of relief. 2 couches $60 bucks No way to fit either Life is GOOD! The end!

It was meant to be a new breed of town center, where residents could come to shop, play, eat, and socialize. In 2017, it underwent a 50 million dollar renovation, and was renamed Fairview Town Center. It's an outdoor mall, with both parking garages and close parking to each retailer, encouraging both quick stops and longer stays. I stopped by on a Wednesday to check it out, and eat in their modern food hall. It was unseasonably cold and blustery, so immediately regretted my idea of parking further away and walking around. Not many people were there, with a lot of outdoor parking sitting empty (I didn't check out their parking garage). The anchor stores are those from the previous century, with Macy announcing just today that they would be closing this Fairfield location.
