What a treat to spend a day in a world-class shopping environment that also doubles as an art gallery!
Stanford Shopping Center in Stanford, California, catering to the entire San Francisco Bay Area, offers fine 140 plus shopping at exclusive stores in an architectural setting in a spectacular open-air center. Award winning gardens, along with remarkable sculptures and paintings by some of California's premier artists surround this indoor-outdoor mall. A beauty of a shopping center, the space also serves as home to top 13 restaurants as well as host to summer music concerts in its expansive outdoor lounging area.
The anchor stores Neiman Marcus, Macy's, Macy's Men's Store, Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom set the pace for the high quality shopping found within this upscale shopping center. Apple Store, Sephora, Crabtree & Evelyn, Crate & Barrel, Pottery Barn, Coach, Tiffany & Co., Kenneth Cole, Louis Vuitton and Lucky Brand Dungarees all have homes at Stanford Shopping Center, as well as nearly 140 other specialty shops.
Take a break from your intense shopping and get a latte at Starbucks; take a stroll through the open-air market area to enjoy the flora and fauna that makes up the mall's elegant décor. If you're hungry, go to the cherished Palo Alto Creamery Fountain & Grill or stick with old time favorite California Pizza Kitchen.
