Palisades Village
Palisades Village is a local shopping village located in Pacific Palisades, California, in the downtown area of the neighborhood known as the ''"Village"'', from which the shopping center derives its name. Overview In contrast to a typical shopping mall, Palisades Village is an outdoor shopping center designed to look like a typical American main street with an array of smaller storefronts and mid to high-end boutiques, rather than a collection of stores centered around anchor department stores like the nearby Westfield Century City and The Grove at Farmers Market shopping malls. The majority of stores in the Village are women-owned businesses, and most are small chains with few locations. Some of the larger chains who have storefronts in the Village operate smaller than average locations, such as Sephora Studio and Chanel Beauty.
