BIGMallrat's Editorial Review

Vintage Faire Mall in Modesto is the largest enclosed shopping center between Sacramento and Fresno. Unique and unparalleled in the area, you'll find plenty of unique stores for the entire family.

Appearance

This shopping center is modern and updated. Wide aisles and an uncluttered appearance lends a friendly environment for strolling. A thin strip of skylights allows in a scant amount of sunlight, yet the bright lights of the inline stores will draw your eye.

Stores

Vintage Faire Mall is anchored by Forever 21, Sears, JC Penney, and two Macy's stores. The 3-level Forever 21 is the largest in the entire chain, freshly remodeled and affordable.

The usual national retailers are here including some one-of-a-kind tchotcke shops. You also find some favorites like The Apple Store, Buckle, H&M, and Abercrombie & Fitch.

A lifestyle wing outside features some high-end retailers, like Coach and Coldwater Creek.

Food

You can find a food court, called "Cafe Row" on the upper level between the two Macy's stores. It offers a typical fare of eateries, such Taxi's Hamburgers and Hot Dog on a Stick.

Outside the shopping center, you'll find a number of casual-dining restaurants, including BJ's Brewhouse, Chili's, Elephant Bar, Johnny Carino's, and Mimi's Cafe.

Location

Vintage Faire Mall is conveniently located in Modesto, California, at Hwy 99 and Sisk Road.

Expansion

In 2008, a 60,000 square foot lifestyle wing was added between Forever 21 and Sears. The wing, designed by F+A Architects of Pasadena, is open-air and influenced by Tuscan architecture.
