Whether it’s a casual family brunch, happy hour cocktails with friends, specialty shopping or everyday errands, Peoria is the place for shopping and dining. No matter which part of the city you’re in, you’ll find everything you need — and want.

Park West

Toward the city’s southern end, you’ll find Park West. Located at Northern Avenue and Loop 101, the open-air mall boasts more than 40 restaurants and retail outlets. Shop national brands like Bath & Body Works, Chico’s and Vans as well as local specialty stores like Candle Chemistry and Olive Gourmet. And for something original, head to The Grand Project Shoppe, where you’ll find an array of original artisanal pieces of art, furniture, clothing and accessories from various creators.

Whether you’re craving pizza, Mexican cuisine, sushi, salad or steak, Park West serves up a range of restaurants. For example, grab a burger and a brew at Cold Beer & Cheeseburgers, or opt for fine dining at Fleming’s. Craft meatballs and charcuterie are the name of the game at the Sicilian Butcher, and brunchers delight in the vast menu at Hash Kitchen.

P83 Entertainment District

Centrally located within the city is the Peoria Eighty-Three (P83) Entertainment District (83rd Avenue just south of Bell Road), where you'll find endless retail, dining and entertainment.

P83 is home to both the North Valley Power Center and Arrowhead Crossing shopping centers. Motorcycle enthusiasts, rejoice — you’ll find Arrowhead Harley-Davidson and GO AZ Motorcycles in the area. Foodies will appreciate a range of restaurant options, including the comforts of national chains like Famous Dave’s, IHOP and Texas Roadhouse. Be sure not to miss local favorites like Revolu Modern Taqueria + Bar, Osaka P83 Japanese Steakhouse, Pho For Days Vietnamese and Serra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse.

Peoria's Four Corners

Venture north and you’ll discover the offers of Peoria’s Four Corners area. Located at Lake Pleasant Parkway and Happy Valley Road, this retail hotspot is bustling on all four corners of the intersection with everything you need. Lake Pleasant Towne Center, Lake Pleasant Crossing and Lake Pleasant Pavilion provide an array of big-box staples, including Lowe’s, Home Depot, Kohl’s, Target, Ross, Michaels and more.

When all the power shopping stimulates your appetite, grab street tacos and a marg at local fave Cantina Gueros or a burger and beer at Peoria’s own Lakeside Bar and Grill.

No matter where you are in Peoria, the city’s wide-ranging retail shopping and dining options have everything you need!
