Charlottesville Fashion Square is the only indoor shopping mall in the Charlottesville, Virginia area.^[1] It is a regional mall located about one mile (1.6 km) north of the Charlottesville city limits on U.S. Route 29 in Albemarle County. The mall is operated by Simon Property Group^[2] and features four primary tenant spaces.

Stores

Charlottesville Fashion Square is home to four anchor spaces. The Belk store is divided up into two anchor spaces, one for Men and Home (East Anchor) and one for Women (West Anchor). J.C. Penney is the South Anchor located near the Children's Play Area and Sears/Sears Auto Center serves as the north anchor near Red Robin.^[3] The mall is home to many dining choices: Chick-fil-A, China Express, Sbarro, Auntie Anne's Pretzel's, Dippin' Dots, Mrs. Fields Cookies, and Starbucks Coffee.

The mall also houses over 65 different retail stores.^[2] Fashion Square is able to attract many customers who reside outside of the immediate Charlottesville area with stores that cannot be found elsewhere in the region. Such retailers include Abercrombie & Fitch, Coach, J.Crew, Cache, and Ann Taylor.
