Our Shopping Expert Says:
Come to River Oaks Shopping Center—the only major, enclosed shopping mall within a 20 mile radius. As soon as you get here, you'll know exactly why it's the only mall around—with River Oaks Shopping Center in town, there's no need for anything else! With all your favorite and familiar stores available, great restaurants, and activities for children, another mall wouldn't be able to keep up!
River Oaks Shopping Center is currently undergoing redevelopments slated to be finished in the spring of 2008 with the grand opening of a new Nordstrom, fine restaurants, a huge parking deck and of course more excellent stores! Some of the new plans of the redevelopment can already be enjoyed like the beautiful new food court and children's play area (located by JCPenney) that just opened in December 2007! Refreshing, upscale and classy is what you'll find at this mall as you shop through its two floors of over 120 stores anchored by Macy's Women, Macy's Men, Children & Home, JCPenney—and the soon to be Nordstrom.
If you're looking to update your wardrobe, River Oaks Shopping Center is the perfect place to do it. It will be easy with shops like Abercrombie & Fitch, Ann Taylor, Anthropologie, Gap Express, Talbots, Victoria's Secret and Guess. For the little ones' clothes there's Abercrombie Kids, baby Gap, Janie & Jack, Gymboree, and Limited Too. Don't forget to accessorize at shops like Coach and Fossil. You can also shop for home accessories at Williams-Sonoma, Sharper Image and Pottery Barn. You can top off your new wardrobe with a new look with brand new makeup from Sephora, Bath & Body Works, and L'Occitane. Don't forget the shoes—you can get a great pair (or more!) from Vans, Skechers or Foot Locker, just to name a few. If you have the kids with you, take them over to Build-A-Bear Workshop where you can make a cuddly teddy bear to take home.
By now you must be hungry so head over to the new food court where you can have a great meal at Sisley Italian Kitchen, Johnny Rockets, La Salsa or the very popular Cheesecake Factory—check out their great desserts and great bar! If you've got a sweet tooth and need more dessert head over to TCBY, Godiva Chocolatier or See's Candies for a great treat!
The Oaks Shopping Center is located just off the 101 Freeway (at Lynn Rd.) about 30 minutes north of Los Angeles, making it a convenient stop on the way to and from Santa Barbara. No matter what you buy or eat at this mall you will have a great time! Enjoy your wardrobe building!
