Southlands Management Office oversees an outdoor lifestyle center, or shopping district, that offers a diverse array of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. The mall features a mix of popular national chains and specialty stores, including AMC Theatres, Barnes & Noble, Eddie Bauer, Chico's, H&M, and Charming Charlie. Visitors can also enjoy a variety of dining experiences, from casual eateries like Ted's Montana Grill, Tokyo Joe's, and Legends Coffee to a Walmart and Sam's Club located nearby. The community-focused mall hosts several seasonal events and activities, such as a fall festival with trick-or-treating, a holiday parade, and a summer concert series. Families appreciate the kid-friendly amenities, including a water fountain, splash pad, and unconventional playgrounds. Reviewers praise the mall's beautiful landscaping, with lush flower baskets adorning the light poles. However, some customers express concerns about the high rents charged by the management, which they believe limits the variety of local businesses able to thrive in the area. There are also requests for the management to be more accommodating and reasonable with pricing, in order to attract a wider range of shops and eateries. Overall, Southlands is described as a clean, well-maintained outdoor mall that provides a pleasant shopping and dining experience, though there is room for improvement in terms of fostering a diverse, community-oriented atmosphere.
I enjoy Southlands; I wish they had more unique shops like the local and the teacher store, as we call it. They need more small businesses rather than the majority of restaurants being chains and stores being the ones you find at every mall. However, rent is so high only major corporations can survive especially after covid.

This is a great outdoor mall that has a little of everything! It has a theatre, lots of cafes and restaurants, clothing stores, a Barnes and Noble, and specialty shops. It is a fantastic place to go on a beautiful day to grab some ice cream or a coffee and just wander around.
