Build a Marshall's, people will come! While I've shopped at Tanasbourne Town Center more times than…read moreI can count, until Marshall's joined this group of stores in this "strip mall," it was never a destination. Now it is! I love me a Marshall's!
Located off the high traffic area of NW 185th and NW Evergreen Parkway, just off of Highway 26, thisis not really a mall or even a strip mall. It's a ginormous parking lot with several cross roads creating clusters of stores. You can't really walk from one area to the next so plan on getting in and out of your car. Drive the entire area so you can see all of the options.
There are several big box stores that attract customers - Target, Best Buy, Ethan Allen Furniture, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Office Depot, Michael's Crafts and Old Navy. Plus lots of discount stores - Marshall's, Sierra Trading Post, Nordstrom Rack, Ulta Beauty, and Famous Footware. That's a lot of discount stores!
They even have a Petco and one of the few remaining Barnes & Nobles with a Starbucks attached and another Starbucks with a drive through across the street.
Smaller stores and services round it out - AT&T Phone store, Sprint, See's Candy, Batteries Plus, Aspen Dental, Wells Fargo Bank, Bank of the West and an Urgent care. Even 2 gas stations.
Sprinkled along the perimeter are a plethora of popular fast food restaurants (McDonalds, Jack in the Box, Burger King, Chic-Filet, Shari's', Panda Express, Carl's Jr.). Isn't that crazy? They are all always busy so obviously there is a need. With so many high tech businesses and huge townhome complexes nearby, they know their demographic. I'm not a fast food person so used to visit Thai Orchid for their chicken curry or vermicelli noodle dish. Bummed that they are no longer in business here or at the location on West Burnside.
When I shop here, it's usually with a purpose like I need craft supplies at Michael's, athletic wear is on sale at Old Navy or most likely, I need my Marshall's fix! When I worked in the area I would often stop here after work so I could take care of a lot of errands in one general area, fill up on gas and head home on 26.
