Fashion Valley Center

Good restaurants and an AMC multiplex make this a place to go beyond shopping. Burberry, Lily Pulitzer have opened, and new Sony Style store has way cool electronics.
Horton Plaza

Viejas Outlet Center
Not a shopping mall in the traditional sense, the Viejas Factory Outlet, opposite the Viejas Casino, is actually very pleasant.

A wide array of wellknown outlet stores (Nike, Hilfiger) is made for the bargain hunter.
University Town Center
One of the many Westfield Shopping town entities, UTC is a pleasant outdoor mall. Located in the Golden Triangle area, it caters to the yuppie/soccer mom crowd.

Plaza Camino Real
Plaza Camino Real serves the North County Coastal area (Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside). Two-level, with the usual assortment of stores, Plaza Camino is as similar to North County Fair, except they have a Cinema Plaza Theater.
Plaza Bonita
Located in the South County area, Plaza Bonita is the Westfield indoor, two-level counterpart to Plaza Camino Real. Plaza Bonita is a Wi-Fi hotspot – bring your laptop and hang out with connectivity anywhere in the mall.
Grossmont Center
This quaint mall in La Mesa is the shopping center that time forgot. It’s a cozy, well-maintained outdoor mall in La Mesa. Anchored by a two-story Target, a smallish Macy’s, Grossmont also has a nice Pacific Cinema, and a two-level Wal-Mart.
Mission Valley
The selection of shops and the gigantic AMC multiplex suggest a catering to the teen and young adult crowd. But it does have a twolevel Target, always good to have, and a 24-Hour Fitness gym.
