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.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s to Express and fine cuisine from P.F. Chang\u2019s to the Geisha House.<\/p>\n
If you love to shop as I do, this is the perfect spot for you.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
For boutique lover\u2019s, this location also offers several clothing and accessory boutiques.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Other stores include Chico\u2019s, Banana Republic, izzi-b, Victoria Secrets, Anthropologie, Ann Taylor, Pottery Barn, and many more.<\/p>\n
They even have my all time favorite restaurant, P.F. Chang\u2019s China Bistro. For all you lover\u2019s of Chinese cuisine, P.F. Chang\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
In addition to P.F. Chang\u2019s, Market Commons also has Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant.<\/p>\n
It can only get better as more stores begin to open and the construction begins on phase two as the year progresses.<\/p>\n
