The Shops at West End is a stylish retail and residential development in a first ring suburb, offering a hip urban vibe with convenient underground and ramp parking. It is a fun and interesting place to visit with plenty of shops and restaurants, making the location nice to walk around. The area stays hoppin', and it is highly recommended to make reservations for the many fun restaurants, as they are usually quite busy. The space also hosts events like the West End Makers & Artisan Market, a well-lit and clearly identified area with plenty of room to move around. The market features a central counter for purchases and showcases a large selection of items from various artisans. These include jewelry, quirky greeting cards, handmade holiday ornaments, soaps, candles, lotions and potions, unique clothing pieces, hats, and locally-designed puzzles. Artisan pieces are made from materials like snow skis, hockey sticks, leather scraps, and antique flour sacks. Visitors can enjoy Muddy Paws Cheesecake, available in many delicious flavors, with slices served in paper board boxes. It is a thrilling spot to see new and attractive pieces from artists, making it a great place to return to for future visits.
Centralized parking, plenty of good restaurants to choose from but not many stores i would patronize.
