Providence Commons is a fairly large neighborhood shopping center. It is a good local shopping center with many businesses. These include a hometown grocery store, specifically a Harris Teeter. The store is very clean, with shelves well stocked and quick checkouts. The shopping center also has two banks, a salon, Great Clips, a UPS store, Tide cleaners, an Italian restaurant, and Showmars. Showmars offers excellent customer service, friendly staff, and fresh prepared entrees. There is also a Lowe's for home repair items, a liquor store, and a BP gas station. The parking lot is easy to get into with plenty of parking. While the Harris Teeter lacks a hot bar or pizza station, Showmars and the Italian restaurant make up for it.
