Myrtle Beach has recently opened a new, tremendous addition to the Grand Strand. Located on the former Myrtle Beach Air Force base off of highway 17, the Market Commons offers upscale clothing, food and accessories.

I visited the Market Commons and felt as if I were at the Atlantic Station in downtown Atlanta, Georgia or St. Johns Towns Center in Jacksonville, Florida- both places that offer an array of stores from Urban Outfitter’s to Express and fine cuisine from P.F. Chang’s to the Geisha House.

If you love to shop as I do, this is the perfect spot for you.

Visit White House-Black Market to find a wide selection of quality casual and formal white and black clothing. I have always enjoyed shopping at this store; however, the Grand Strand has never offered it until now.

For boutique lover’s, this location also offers several clothing and accessory boutiques.

If you love to grab a book and sit in the tranquil ambiance of Barnes & Noble as I do, you can do so here as well.

Other stores include Chico’s, Banana Republic, izzi-b, Victoria Secrets, Anthropologie, Ann Taylor, Pottery Barn, and many more.

They even have my all time favorite restaurant, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro. For all you lover’s of Chinese cuisine, P.F. Chang’s provides a relaxing atmosphere, a diverse menu and a perfect place for an evening out. My preference is the spicy Kung Pao Shrimp mixed with peanuts, chili peppers and scallions alongside of their unlimited, freshly made rice.

In addition to P.F. Chang’s, Market Commons also has Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant.

It can only get better as more stores begin to open and the construction begins on phase two as the year progresses.
