I cannot really judge all the stores because there are many. The town center is basically an older…read morestrip mall much like Eastover Mall. The stores vary from small to large, chains to small businesses. There are restaurants, Mcdonalds, Applebee, Taco Bell to name some. I prefer the Taco Bells myself. There is plenty of parking but if going to multiple stores you will be criss crossing the parking lot in your car. Also, be careful and alert in the lot. There are wannabe Nascar drivers here. Overall, I go here all the time and I like it. There is a Well Fargo Bank across the street. A Golden Corral is about 7 minutes away. Have fun!

Misleading Information and Poor Customer Service…read more I went into this T-Mobile store to upgrade my phone and was told by the customer service agent that she could get me a cheaper plan. She transferred all 4 of my lines and had me sign a document that clearly stated my plan would be $120. Now, my bill has jumped to $240! After calling customer service, I was informed that the $120 plan only covers the first two lines, and each additional line costs $60. The reps at this store are NOT knowledgeable about T-Mobile's plans and provided me with inaccurate information, resulting in a much higher bill than I expected. Very disappointed in the service here. DO NOT shop at this store unless you want to deal with confusion and frustration!

Wow! This is one of the largest outdoor shopping centers I've been to besides an outlet mall. There…read moreis such a variety of shopping and dining options. There is a Barnes and Noble as an anchor store. The one by me is long gone. The Best Buy here is now vacant. They have many good food options. We were here for the Savor Bowie event. Seemed like 100+ vendors were lining the Main Street. Still, lots of of free parking option available in the back lots. Stores don't open until noon on Sundays from what I noticed. Many restaurants didn't have breakfast options except First Watch, of course.

You can tell that this place came into existence during the outdoor mixed used retail craze of the…read moreearly 2000s. You can find one of these in just about any neighborhood or city. They all look like cookie cutter examples from the original. The only difference, the stores held within. This location does seem to be fairing well when compared to other locations. Obviously not as good as outlet malls, but still holding its own. I was surprised by the amount of stores, but the lack of foot traffic. I came on a Sunday and there was hardly anyone here. Those that were coming were running into a single store and heading out. It doesn't seem that far fetched to have an area like this be busy. But I think that most people are straying away from shopping centers like this. The mix of stores didn't really compliment one another and if you wanted to go to other stores in the center you have to go away from the town center portion. I am sure that when it is warmer this is a more vibrant place, but places like this aren't that magically in the colder months.

One thing I do love about Beltway Plaza is that the parking lot is so huge and it never feels so…read morecrowded that I have to struggle to find parking. Now, I'm sad GameStop and August 32 are gone, but some things have taken their place like a new juice bar and a new chicken spot. Speaking of, the mall feeling dated is still very much a thing. I've heard about a bunch of other new things coming, but there was a grand opening and that dated background just kind of clashed in my opinion. I can't help but wonder what their plans are.

I could have swore I reviewed this place shortly after I moved to the area, however I was wrong. On…read moremy most recent visit I decided why not finally give it a review. Upon first impressions this place looks massive and impressive. It is not your traditional mall in the sense that the anchor stores aren't what you expect. Here you have a grocery store and big box anchoring the plaza. Giant is on the one end while you have Target on the other. The rest of the stores within are a mix of national brands and local stores. I say that this place reminds me of the stores/malls in the Zohan movie. The names of the stores is what brings this to mind. It does have it's high points here, i.e., they have a movie theater, ample parking, and plenty of stores. However, they do have their low points too. Several stores have closed since I was here last. Z Burger and TJMaxx are noticeably missing. They do still seem to keep pulling in and opening up newer stores. Not sure how they are capable of doing that, but they are. It is a great place for a distraction.

Not a bad little place. It has a Lowes, Kohls, Staples, Target and Sport Authority. A nice…read moreHaverty is also there for high quality furniture and a Pet Smarts for your pet needs. A Michael's for your craft needs is also there. You can't park and shop, since they are spread out all over the place and need a car to get from one place to another. I find myself coming here a lot due to the Lowes and Targets. The bookstore closed, which is a shame and has been replaced by Big Lots. I think you can find most of your shopping needs, except groceries, in here.

I also stopped by the beauty4u beauty supply store which I didn't know was here (might be be new). I can't list them all but here's just a few of the businesses here: -Safeway -Dollar Tree -Starbucks -Wendys -IHop -DMV Iron -Bbq chicken -Ross -PetSmart -Advance Auto Parts -Beauty4U -Bath and Body Works I know I'm messing alot but as I said, it's a big shopping center!

At the same time, that end is way quieter and easier to park whenever I need to run to PetSmart. The side with Safeway and Dollar Tree can get a bit chaotic during peak times -- the workaround is to just not bother trying to park in the first two rows, haha. In addition to all the places mentioned above, I find myself going to bb.q Chicken and the new food stand at the gas station. Overall, this is a great shopping center and I like that it has multiple entrances from both 193 and Hanover Parkway.

I forget the anchor store name, Arlens or something. Then it was replaced by Giants (not the grocery store) and then Sears. A bowling alley was in the back but attached to the mall with a number of small shops that come and gone. Gone are the barber shops. Gone is Sunny's, a gift shop (I use to work there), gone is the Sports shop. Today, the mall has be completely replaced and turned into a rather large strip mall. Giant's, the grocery store is the biggest store there. It is rather nice. A smaller strip mall was built in the front with a number of small shops. The shopping center was made for Bowie residence since out of towners would not need to drive here since nothing out of the ordinary can be found here. Parking like most Bowie shopping centers must have been designed by the same idiot. Only a couple of funnel entrances with stop signs placed in the strategically wrong places. Plenty of parking in the main center area and none for the little strip mall in the front.
