SHOP... DINE... RELAX... at The SHOPS Gainey Village in Scottsdale, Arizona


Welcome! For our first blog entry, we're sharing an article about our center published in Arizona Foothills Magazine's February 2009 issue.

The SHOPS Gainey Village
, near historic Gainey Ranch in is one of the Valley's favorite shopping and dining destinations. Composed primarily of specialty boutiques, this stylish outdoor shopping center also features fine dining at hot spots as well as great pop-in destinations like Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Village Wine Cellar, and a foodie’s new favorite The Kitchen by Good Eats Grocer.

A one-time ranch, this location is now home to a rambling complex of shops and restaurants, all beautifully landscaped. The SHOPS Gainey Village provides both a lovely setting to stroll while soaking up the gorgeous weather this time of year, as well as an impressive collection of upscale, exclusive boutiques. There may not be a more impressive concentration of women’s clothing stores anywhere in Scottsdale.

Gifts, women’s apparel, home furnishings, and bath and beauty products can all be had. New additions to the SHOPS include the stylish Kiss Me Kate, and the upscale and affordable Carine’s Boutique. Independent boutique retailer Anastasia’s Bath, Body, Boudoir offers fine European lingerie and sumptuous bath and body products.

Tempting dining options include the new McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant, American eateries Bloom or The Village Tavern, and a new twist on classic Mexican flavors from Camerone’s. Whether dining out or taking out, Pei Wei, Picazzo Pizza and Paradise Bakery & CafĂ© offer something to please everyone.

You'll enjoy browsing the manicured grounds almost as much as patronizing the shops. The SHOPS Gainey Village is located the southeast corner of Scottsdale and Doubletree Ranch Roads, one half-mile south of Shea Boulevard (8787 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85253).

Store Hours: Monday - Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 600 p.m.; Sunday 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. Most restaurants have extended hours nightly. Please visit www.theSHOPSGaineyVillage.com for more information.
