The Montebello Town Center is an attractive, completely enclosed mall that offers a plethora of shopping opportunities.
Montebello Town Center (now "The Shops at Montebello") is a shopping mall mainly located within the city limits of Montebello, California, with over 160 national and local retail concepts - such as Aeropostale, Disney, Gymboree, Hollister, Victoria’s Secret and BJ”s Restaurant and Brew Co.[1] A small portion of its eastern side is actually within the city limits of Rosemead, California. It features major department stores, children's stores, smaller shops such as beauty and bath stores, health stores and salons.[2] and a small food court. The boundary line between Montebello and Rosemead runs through the eastern end of the mall. Policing is provided by the City of Montebello. It is managed by The Macerich Company.
It is nestled up against the hills in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley, 8 miles (13 km) east of downtown Los Angeles. The mall serves this ethnically diverse trade area with four department stores (JCPenney, two Macy's, the second being Macy's home and 160 shops, eateries and restaurants. A Robinsons-May store was formerly located at the Montebello Town Center, but was closed in 2006 and was subsequently turned into a Macy's apparel-fashion department store. It remains the long-standing sales per square foot leader in the San Gabriel Valley.[citation needed] The mall is located directly adjacent to the Highway 60 Pomona Freeway, between the Paramount Blvd and San Gabriel Blvd off-ramps.
Construction of the mall began in 1980 and was completed in 1985. The mall opened for business for 1985 Holiday Season. A comprehensive remodel was almost totally completed in 2009, in time for the holiday season. The remainder of the remodel was completed in June 2010 and includes an elegantly styled center court with more "high end" or tony stores suchs as Coach fine leathers and, Aldo fashion footwear[3]
