So we decided to return and see if that was just a fluke day. Nope. It's pretty consistent - I'm not sure what their secret is- how they manage to thrive while other malls are dying- how they stay so clean and free of groups of troublemakers, but they are! Once again we felt safe, happy and excited to see so many wonderful places to shop under one roof- and it's a big roof because this mall is huge!

This side of UTC(University Town Center) is across the street from the mall…read more We usually go check out Trader Joe's, Ross, Norman Love Chocolstes, Home Goods, TJMaxx, and Marshall's here. You can also find Fresh Kitchen, The Breakfast company, Pei Wei here just to name a few. This side also has Xmas lights and a Christmas tree in the middle. We like shopping here and feel like these stores which are everywhere have a better stock and are more organized. I know kind of a lump sum statement but it really seems like it every time we visit

It was pretty busy but we managed to stop at the stores we wanted like children's place and Victoria's Secret etc. they have a wide selection of name brand stores and also had a cute boutique that was going out of business they had some really nice beaded purses and clothing for sale. Overall, Ellenton premium outlets is a nice place to shop and has good prices definitely a better deal than your average mall.

This outdoor shopping plaza is located about a mile from the Interstate on the north side of…read moreFruitville Road. I was here for the Super Buffet but there are other spaces that are open and keeping this plaza busy. The plaza is laid out in a linear manner with the Chase Bank at the western end and proceeding east for CVS, Publix, Ferguson and Northern Tools at the east end. A couple of outbuildings for Smoothie King, Pollo Tropical, Bank of America and Taco Bell. I think there's plenty of parking and the palm trees used for landscaping are quite tall. There is lighting though I was here in the afternoon and couldn't tell you if I would feel safe here at night. But as always, be aware of your surroundings and if you feel uncomfortable, trust that instinct! [Review 16720 overall - 1448 in Florida - 232 of 2022.]
