"Upscale Tampa Shopping"
Tampa's most upscale mall, this shopping center was opened in 2001 in Tampa's Westshore business district. Like the Florida Mall in Orlando, it is placed next to an International Airport.
The Renaissance Hotel was opened on its campus in 2006. This mall features a section that is outdoors and includes several restaurants, bars and art galleries, as well as its three anchors and 200+ internal stores and food court.
Who It's For: Since this is an upscale mall near an international airport, it attracts mainly the more affluent American families and single professionals and also the affluent foreign guests. There are stores that accommodate a more middle class shopper and the young shoppers, such as Forever XXI and Gap, scattered throughout, but more than half of the stores are high fashion such as Louis Vuitton and Michael Kors.
Its best assets: This mall is known for its upper class shopping experience, so its highlights are stores such as Tiffany & Co., Sperry Topsider, Diesel, Burberry and many more that are not found in more common family malls in smaller areas.
Other great retail: Express, Abercrombie and Fitch, Clarks, Teavanna, Lush, Nordstrom and many more.
What it lacks: There are stores for every member of the family and fashions appropriate for its international shoppers, but this mall would not accommodate a lower income crowd very well. There are a handful of stores with affordable fashions for a more middle class shopper but it would take a great deal of patience and diligence to find a large number of goods for only a small amount of money.
Someone who typically shops at stores such as Ross would have a hard time finding bargains here.
Overall Rating: 5/5
