Wide variety of retail stores of all types including groceries, clothing, home goods, jewelry, outdoors items, and a post office. Plenty of parking. All entrances outdoors; not a mall. Surrounded...Read More

They treat small businesses like trash. Use them to fill up their empty spaces and then force them to move or leave the center because a bigger vendor wants their space.. should look up what they did to Electric cowgirl, Nerdbombers, the blow Bar...Read More

From restaurants to department stores, Friendly Center is way better than any indoor mall. We aren't afraid to walk to the shop or restaurant, but parking is never far from our destination. Recently they rationalized their driving and parking flow so there are almost no...Read More

Nice clean shopping center, several great shops, but parking spots are often tight, in multiple areas. Backing out of parking spaces is not always easy, and you’re often pulling out blindly, if in a sedan, wedged in by SUVs.Very narrow lanes in various areas, throughout...Read More

Friendly Shopping Center is our family's choice for inclusion shopping. More 'safe' area than most. Major factor! Owners must consider this option to attract new customers and maintain existing customers. Otherwise, people will shop online. I prefer in store shopping experience with great customer...Read More

This place is chock-full of quality stores. It's a very convenient one-stop-shopping spot. And, with two of the best supermarkets in Greensboro located within it - Harris Teeter (of Friendly Center) and Whole Foods - it is well-worth frequent visits. The amount and variety of...Read More
