It's kind of like a little village square, complete with retailers and restaurants, where you can spend a relaxing day strolling and shopping. There are even several green spaces and a soccer field, details that help the shopping center feel more like a community gathering place.

The old outlet mall was destroyed and the new shopping center was built in 2013. Its configuration is more walkable now, and it's more of a destination than a place you go to pick up just a couple of things.
