The Shops At Lake Havasu
The Shops at Lake Havasu opened in 2008 as Lake Havasu City's premier outdoor shopping destination, featuring over 720,000 square feet of commercial space designed to serve both residents and the city's thriving tourist population. This open-air lifestyle center anchors the retail landscape with major department stores including Dillard's and JC Penney, complemented by a diverse tenant mix that includes Walmart Supercenter, PetSmart, home décor specialist Kirkland's, and Star Cinemas for entertainment. The center's thoughtful outdoor design embraces the desert climate with attractive fountains and cooling misters that create a comfortable shopping environment even during Arizona's warm summer months, encouraging visitors to stroll leisurely between stores. Beyond traditional retail, The Shops at Lake Havasu serves as a community gathering place, hosting special events throughout the year while continuously expanding its offerings with new retailers, boutiques, restaurants, and family attractions. Located at 5601 Highway 95 North, the center has established itself as an essential destination that combines the convenience of national retailers with the welcoming atmosphere that reflects Lake Havasu City's unique character as a premier waterfront recreation community.
The Shops at Lake Havasu primarily serves a diverse demographic mix including retirees and seasonal visitors drawn to Lake Havasu City's resort atmosphere, with a significant portion of shoppers aged 55+ who have relocated to the area for its warm climate and recreational amenities. The trade area attracts middle to upper-middle income households, including families and tourists visiting the lake, with shopping patterns reflecting both everyday needs through anchors like Walmart Supercenter and discretionary spending at specialty retailers. The center serves as the primary retail destination for Lake Havasu City's population of approximately 57,000 residents, plus substantial seasonal tourism traffic from visitors enjoying the lake's boating and outdoor activities.
