EXPERIENCE

THE TRANSFORMATION OF SHOPPING

By Kate Birchler, Assistant Vice President, Tourism Marketing, Macerich Shopping Centers & Fashion Outlets

F

rom cooking classes to talkedabout restaurants, upscale gyms to amenity-filled movie theaters, the traditional shopping experience is no longer traditional.

Forget just a single transaction within a store, shopping centers have transformed into energetic hotspots and vibrant town squares, attracting a diverse group of people to create and share moments and memories with one another. The future of shopping is evolving to offer visitors the personalized experiences and entertainment they desire.

Shopping centers are also providing a multidimensional, interactive experience with brands once found only online.

Warby Parker, Indochino, Monica + Andy and more – all have expanded to provide in-person, one-on-one service to customers while delivering the ease and convenience for which these brands are known. Experience Macerich Shopping Centers and Fashion Outlets’ one-of-a-kind properties:

SCOTTSDALE FASHION SQUARE

browsing the center’s two million square feet of shopping, grab a drink and recline in Scottsdale Fashion Square’s brand new, state-of-the-art movie theater. With a full menu of food and drink options, you can cozy up in your own personal arm chair to watch the latest blockbuster film.

TYSONS CORNER CENTER Exemplifying the ascendant “work, live, play, stay” concept, Tysons Corner Center offers visitors a variety of exceptional attractions when visiting the center. From refined hotel stays to a robust dining selection, Tysons Corner Center provides experiences everyone can enjoy. The shopping destination is also home to Dyson Demo’s first U.S. store location. A technological playground filled with state-of-the-art hair dryers and the brand’s popular vacuums, Dyson Demo allows shoppers to test and play with all their gadgets, like providing 60 different types of debris to demonstrate their products’ cleaning ability.

SANTA MONICA PLACE

For the ultimate multidimensional entertainment experience, look no further than Santa Monica Place – home to Candytopia, an interactive, largerthan-life art installation made entirely of candy, and soon-to-open Zimmer

Children’s Museum, which offers classes and public programs each week in arts, music and movement for children and families. The breathtaking views of the ocean and a fresh, open-air design only enhance the unique opportunities Santa Monica Place has to offer visitors.

THE SHOPS AT NORTH BRIDGE On bustling Michigan Avenue, The Shops at North Bridge offers an eclectic mix of online shopping brought to life, high-end retail and immersive dining experiences.

Featuring both world-renowned and up-and-coming artists, THE COLLECTION provides visitors with a unique cultural touchpoint.

There is no better time to explore this little corner of the American South, where European traditions blend with Caribbean influences, the history is as colorful as the local architecture and the food is the stuff of legend.

Haitian and African Creoles developed an exotic, spicy cuisine and were instrumental in creating jazz and Cajun
