What's in Store?
Ten shopping malls within an hour’s drive of downtown, a variety of eclectic specialty shops, antiques stores along its outskirts – San Antonio is full of reasons not to return home empty-handed. Here are a few.
Shopping Plus…
What was once the Alamo Cement Plant (which operated for over 100 years) is now Alamo Quarry Market, blending some of the finest shopping in the area. Not only are the original plant walls incorporated into the destination’s megaplex theater building, but the market itself is planned around the factory’s smokestacks, creating a historic setting. This open-air venue features over 60 national stores and restaurants minutes from downtown.
Huebner Oaks is a trendy fashion center offering over 60 restaurants and stores, featuring national retailers to local boutiques vending such specialties as stationery and stylish threads for moms-to-be and infants. Huebner Oaks also includes a 24-screen, first-run movie theater.
Exclusivity
Discerning shoppers must stop by The Shops at La Cantera. This open-air retreat is as well known for its design as it is for its shopping. Greenery, subtle water features and architecturally varied storefronts lend a garden-like feel; more than 150 shops and restaurants, a children’s play area and personal shoppers further paint La Cantera as a shopper’s oasis.
Outlet Options
Discount divas have several outlet-shopping choices in San Antonio. Prime Outlets - San Marcos Outlet mall stands out – not only is it the largest outlet mall in south Texas with 130 brand-name retailers, but the hosts of ABC’s “The View” ranked it third in the world as a shopping destination. Also popular is Round Rock Premium Outlets, an attractive outdoor village with 125 designer shops.
