BIGMallrat's Editorial Review
 At first glance, Shoppers
Square in Reno is rather
unlike other malls. It appears to be a giant box.
Atmosphere
Once inside, Shoppers Square is equally unusual.
The mall corridor is rather narrow, maybe 10 to 15 feet wide. Banking
on the trend of enclosing malls, in 1977 the owner added a structure
in front of the stores to enclose the center. While unusual,
it does provide protection from the cold Reno winters.
Stores
You'll find a variety of budget-minded
and locally owned retailers. Plus, with a high occupancy, nearly
50 stores, there are quite a few shops to pique the interest of
visitors. Although there are no major department
stores, it doesn't distract from its draw.
In order to attract more
big-box retailers, the owners plan a 92,000 square
feet expansion.
Location
Shoppers Square is located at the
corner of East Plumb Lane and South Virginia Street. From Hwy 395,
exit west on East Plumb Lane.
