Colonial Center Plaza

This is A very old and established shopping Center, that has evolved through the years. I one point this location was the old Colonial Plaza mall.
On your visit you can clearly see that it has evolved, there is a Staples office supply store, a Hobby Lobby, Too Jays, Men’s Warehouse, Babies R Us, Total Wine, Chick-​fil-​A, and the newest is an Orlando Ale House.
This truly is one stop shopping. Many more businesses too numerous to name.
I’m sure you will find something here.

I love this shopping plaza, I frequent it very often as other Unilocalers have already pointed out; there’s lot’s of different stores here.
I will usually park in the very center of the lot, and make my way around, starting from Barnes and Nobles, past Big Lots, and ultimately ending at total wine, takes up at least half a day but it’s one stop shopping at it’s very best.
PS, they’ve just recently added a very sizable/​impressive Ulta store to their lineup, even more to love!

Can be a one stop shop plaza at times if you are into getting you nails done, eating pizza and ice cream, craft shopping, picking up a birthday card and then stocking up on beer and wine for the weekend!
Great Starbucks to get some work done in, Queens Nails I and II, Hobby Lobby, Total Wine, Hallmark and a tons of other shops. Seriously, you can get so much done here.

Used to be the home of the infamous Ronnie’s Restaurant… that alone warrents 5 starts. I’m also a sucker for discount stores and this is a place of plenty.
P.S.
Ronnie’s used to have the best little cheese danish… they would just melt in your mouth.

This is the best shopping center close to downtown by far. Its about one mile east on Colonial which is home to mostly older less blingy type smallish stores. That is until you reach the Colonial Center Plaza. This Plaza is nicely kept up and very inviting with palm trees and bright colors. First off its huge, with a large outer square of shops along with an inner circle. Circuit City, Barnes and Noble, PetCo, Linen’s n’ Things, Babies R’ Us, plus make up the more errand type stores. As for my personal favs Marshals, Ross, Old Navy and Shoe Carnival are but a few. They also have a Bath and Body Works, several hair salons as well as nail salons, and smaller type boutiques like Fashion Dot. Add in some eateries like Chick-​Fil-​A for a fast bite or Houlihans for a sit down establishment and you are set for a day of shopping. And if you happen to get pooped out from shopping grab some caffeine at Starbucks. This shopping plaza has too much to name here but rest assured you can find pretty much anything here.
