| - As others have noted, this lifestyle center (outdoor mall) has a very strong focus on restaurants, with Macy's, Saks, local mostly home accessory shops at the Union, and a handful of mid to high-end local and chain stores which seem to inconsistently close early.
Note that the department stores have "shop in shop" leased departments for even more shopping choices (Sunglass Hut/Finish Line/Starbucks inside Macy's, Fendi/Louis Vuitton/Chanel/Gucci inside Saks).
It's definitely an easy afternoon experience, and not as time consuming as the mammoth Scottsdale Fashion Square and surrounding Old Town Scottsdale area can be. Shop at your choice of department store (Macy's for me), grab a bite to eat (Paradise and Zin Burger are my go-tos), shop the smaller stores, and refresh with a cold treat (Frost, Haagen-Dazs) or coffee (Starbucks is inside Macy's first floor Men's department, or there's local Royal).
They're finally replacing the temporary rug store in the Borders building with an Arhaus furniture, which is a welcome addition! Jonathan Adler kicked out the temporary women's clothing store squatting in the old Tommy Bahama building, so the Biltmore is coming along nicely!
