Lots of shops and stores. The buildings appear relatively new and the parking lot has new blacktop and bright, freshly painted lines. Its easy to get into and out of. The parking lot is very clean, not a speck of garbage anywhere. I went into the Walmart to grab a few little things and the store appeared new or newly remodeled. It also was spotless. Much cleaner and nicer than any of the 3 within 20 miles of my house.
I stop by the Ross here about once a week. The staff is consistently super friendly, at least to me, but I dont go out of my way to be as awful of a human being as I can to them either, so there is that. It could be that they are either somehow completely ignorant of how awful customers can and will be, perhaps through some sort of mystic arts or even hyper-tech lobotomies, or....simply very professional. Ya, it is probably that even though a hyper-tech lobotomy could be pretty fascinating.Everyone I have interacted with over the last couple years, some on a fairly regular basis, is totally Trans friendly. It is a pretty small town (in the south even), so I suppose theoretically, someone with Neandertal-like thinking could work there somewhere in the deep dark recesses of the elaborate tunnel system they have in the basement that goes straight through the earth to China where they get most of their super cool, insanely cheap clothing that I cant seem to get enough of. but personally....I dont think so.
We went to Michaels when we entered, no greeting as we shopped we were greeted by a nice associate in the frames counter. Checking out was a total game changer for us, we watched as the cashier greeted a customer as she entered my wife said we didnt get that. We continued to check out with the cashier offering No interaction at all. We concluded our transaction and proceeded to exit when my wife said your welcome the cashier said nothing. It would seem that the cashier had a problem with certain people ☹️
Good location with a lot of great storesI dont know if its an attempt at insurance fraud or just ignorance. But watch out for pedestrians who like to pop out from behind shrubs, pillars and other obstructions with no concern for their own lives or practicing safety at any level.Im not a d***. Just make eye contact so I can safely stop before you cross.
Love Ross and TJ Maxx! Two of my favorite stores. Also, love the Kroger! I get all my meds at the pharmacy drive through. I also get my gas there and sometimes groceries. Love that there is a back entrance to the shopping center which avoids the main congested entrance!
There are a lots of stores I like in Riverbend; TJ Maxx, Ross, Michaels, Panera Bread, Kroger, Talbots & Outback is in this Center too. Kroger has gas pumps too. (Pier 1 was here but theyve closed all stores nationwide, I believe.)The downfall is the parking lot. Its too small for the volume of shoppers for all these stores. I as always fear a fender bender there. I dont know how it could be changed / redesigned within the given space.
Barnes and noble: 5 stars, great selection is books, almost always a sale, staff is great!Game stop: 3 stars, customer service was non existent the first trip; we were treated as a we were a hindrance. Second trip was fine the fair was very knowledgeable. Not to much of a selection.Kroger: 5 stars, always happy with purchases and employees!
Okay, so I dont have any complaints about any of the businesses inside the shopping center. Mostly, the reason I chose to only give Riverbend 3 stars is the PEOPLE who SHOP in the center. For whatever reason, many people walking into Panera think its cool to just take a leisurely stroll from their cars to the restaurant, nevermind the stopping of traffic. Oh, theyll dart out quickly in front of your 1 ton+ car, but then stagnate like molasses. And why is it that so many think the no entrance sign or whatever it says off McCall doesnt apply to THEM & its fine to jeopardize lives, including their own, to turn in at Kroger rather than at the light? Okay, rant over (though Id like to complain on other issues). As for the shopping center itself, its always been convenient for me. Theres been times Ive spent all day there & able to get done all I needed to. For instance, a few months ago we had a semi-formal event. We got our nails done, then to TJ Maxx for new shoes (& a few other things I didnt exactly tell my hubby about), then to Supercuts for our hair (Stacy is awesome), then over to Kroger for corsages & drinks. We also grabbed lunch at Outback & a snack later at Barnes and Noble. My daughter & I enjoyed our girl time whilst my husband occupied himself at GameStop & B&N, all without moving the car & leaving it centrally parked. So its nice to have such a variety of shops and things to do. Weve had similar excursions numerous times, so Id like to have given Riverbend a higher rating. But if you go, just be careful as apparently few people in this town dont obey traffic laws & seem to think that because theyre eating at Panera, they think theyre something super special. 🤷♀️
A great mall. I have been coming to this mall for probably 25 years. It has been totally renovated and is awesome. Lots of good stores with great merchandise. I drive 35 miles to get to the book store here. I love it. I would recommend this mall over any others I know of in Gordon, Whitfield, Bartow area.
I enjoy shopping at a several styles of shops at one location while being able to park once and walk safely to the next. Several food options (Panera, Outback, Barnes &Noble, and Kroger) allow me to stay longer at this location to complete my errands. The people in these shops are friendly and helpful. The shops are national chains that observe sales and savings programs.
Great place to shop if you have money to shop there just dont give money to everyone that ask for money when you see them bounce from car to car or flagging a sign surprise the ones with backpacks that dont ask and smile at your with respect and too much pride to ask for a dollar cause karma and good deeds to those that are hurting will go to a better cause than the dealer the others seek in asking for your hard earned money. Be fruitful in your blessings for the needy not the greedy.
Edited: Great place to shop. Especially if you have a gamer in the house or a fashionista who has champagne taste and Wal-Mart budget. If you like to ride your bike at night in a well-lit place instead of taking on the road and risk getting sideswiped or getting heat stroke during the summer. I found this is one of several malls and larger parking lots that are boring, but safe, places ride. There is security that patrols the lot. Just load up your bike and head over. You might run into me.
Did not have much time to shop here as I went to the Krogers for Starbucks coffee. Know that this Starbucks does not open until later. Early coffee goers will need to go to the Starbucks on the north side of town. The Kroger was very nice and had a great selection of everything compared to a standard Kroger store.
Nice little area with lots of diverse stores and restaurants-many within walking distance. Its pretty well-maintained. Its clean and lines are well marked. Its well-lit. Were here at least once a month. It can be tough getting out, being so compact an area, but it could be worse.
Its hard to avoid the shops here if you live in town. Chances are, youll have to go here as there arent that many other options nearby. Although they keep the shopping center clean and well-maintained, the cramped parking spaces and narrow lanes make it a hassle no matter when you go. Late at night and early mornings are the best for getting in and out quickly.
Good cluster of diverse amount of stores. Alot of shops in the mall would like to relocate to here. Business traffic is good and variety gives you enough for alot of options. Theres clothing, beauty, craft, groceries and options for eating. Parking and getting in and out of plaza is the worst being the biggest downsize.
5 starsfor the business there... except Gamestop. Dont go to gamestop. You would get better deals on pawn stars. They are horrible people with a horrible business ethic and morally corrupt. But I digress. Parking is almost as bad as Gamestops reputation. 1 star for parking. And zero for gamestop. I think you have to have a pro membership to be aloud to say gamestop. Otherwise I can get in trouble for copyright infringement from them. They are literally that bad.
I just go there to shop at Kroger or get fuel at the Kroger pumps. Always lots of parking since the mega strip mall is dying a slow, agonizing death, as it should, especially Panera. Why would you get soup, salad, and bread from the Panera dimwits when you can make better soup from a can of Campbells, and have fresh bread and salads from Kroger or Publix, for 1/5 the cost!?
All thats missing is a nature trail that connects too the old k-MART WHERE A FUN POLOSSA LIKE A FUN PARK FOR IN SIDE WOW THIS WOULD BE GREAT.NEAR THE BRIDGE AND RAIL A BIKE TRAIL HUGE PARK AREA ROME NEEDS A LOT MORE ACTIVITY FUN THINGS BUT THIS IS A HAPPENING PLACE NICE SHOPS.
My daughter had a great experience she had a nice steak and it was cook very well it had a little pink in it but it was really juicy as she said we were celebrating her 21st birthday so she had a frozen drink I forgot the name of it but its Peach and that thing was absolutely awesome every time I go there always order that Frozen drink I forgot what its called but its Peach and is one of the main sellers on the menu.
I come here for Kroger but Ross, GameStop and TJ Maxx are also great. I sometimes go to Barnes & Noble because I love the bookstore atmosphere. I also always carry my pistol here because of a YouTube video of a lady getting mugged at this Kroger. I can see how the entire place could be a target for things like this. So far Ive not had a bad experience, just be aware.
THE stores they did have were very clean. Customer friendly. There DEFINITELY NEEDS MANY MANY MORE STORES AN DRINK MACHINES. AND AÞ VERY NICE RESTAURANT, AN IF NO RESTAURANT AT LEAST A HIGH END STORE AS A HOLLISTER, AMERICAN EAGLE, OR ÒLD NAVY. A VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE!!!!!
Earns a 3 for store selection but 1 for traffic flow. ALWAYS a pain to get in and out of this shopping center, so much so that I avoid it and shop elsewhere. Its definitely busy during the holidays.I hate to share my trick, but if TJ Maxx is the reason youre going to Riverbend, then avoid the clogged first left turn into the shopping center and go around the back. About a quarter mile down there will be another, nearly empty street you can turn onto. TJ Maxx, Kroger, and Hibbett Sports are all right there.
I do most of my grocery shopping here at Kroger. They also have a Kroger gas station, which us great if you do a lot of shopping at kroger. The gas prices tend to be the cheapest in town.Others stores in this center include: TJ Maxx, Barnes and Noble, Hibbets Sports, Ross, Game Stop, Pier 1, Panera, Outback, and Sallys.

2022-06-21I got to this shopping center a lot. This shopping center has stores of all different kinds of varieties. Grocery stores, restaurants, book store, arts and crafts, video games, clothing store, etc. Its nice cause I can get a lot of shopping done in just this one plaza. Very convenient for when you have multiple stores you need to visit. So much easier when theyre all in one spot. Recommend this plaza to anyone.

2022-07-30Love to go here. HATE the parking!! I am in a wheelchair and am alone 98 percent of the time. You have to have extra room to get a wheelchair in and out. The spaces are very small and never enough of them. Wake up world 🌎 people in wheelchairs shop too.

2022-04-03Outdoor strip shopping center consisting of several stores including Kroger, Michaels, Barnes and Noble, GameStop, Outback Steak House, CBD shop, beauty supply, and other retailers. Nice but busy location. Just Be aware of impatient drivers in the parking lot. Easy access to Turner McCall and the back entrances provide access to avoid the busy light in front of the shopping center.
