Shopping Centers & Malls in Sterling, IL

“The plaza is a nice newer facility. A few of the places I frequent, a few I've never been in. Located in an area of expansion. Slowly filling in the gaps between Dixon and sterling. I can see why it's a good place for them it will grow to be seen at a less out of the way place eventually. This is definitely not a "run to the store real quick" place for me. I usually wait till I need things from a couple if the places in the area. Others may feel differently this is just my opinion. Parking is great there is plenty and I can usually get right in the middle of the places I'm going. Place is clean git a good feel to it. All-in-all I usually arrive happy and leave happy as well.Just a brush on a couple places that I frequent.The Dollar tree.What's not to like about this place? if u spend the time to look there are hidden gems and things that you wouldn't even think of being there. I love this place as a first stop for projects. Great for someone moving into a new place, looking for essential items for many different rooms of a home. Or someone just looking to get by until their next paycheck. And one of the only places where you can still get several bags of items for spending thirty bucks. Really there's too much to cover you just have to go there and see for urself.Another place that I love is harbor freight. They have a range of tools in each category that are quite affordable. I often joke saying that if you just went there once a week and looked only for the purple tags. Purple tags being the items on sale. And the red tags the items that are being clearanced. A person could develop quite a set of versatile tools in a short amount of time. Great place if you're just starting off your tool collection. Or just looking to round your current collection off. I also find it useful when I'm not sure if I need a tool. Prices reasonable enough I can buy a cheap one and see if it is useful or not without hurting my pocket too much. They're really have crammed a whole lot into the store. If you go all the way back left corner. There are opened box tools or tools that may be missing something from the original packaging. Severely markdown. Sometimes you can find some hidden gems in there as well. All in all a great place.GameStop.Are you still at this place when first opened. Not So much anymore. Prices at a little high for what you can get just next door with more selection love other purchasable items. I used to like that they would give you top dollar for gaming items that you wanted to sell towards purchasing other items. But sadly they don't offer much towards anything anymore. The only use for them I have seen as of late is pre-ordering games to make sure u get the extra content. Also older gaming counsels and games”
