Poag & McEwen promised that The Promenade Shops at Orchard Valley - when completed - would have a “warm downtown feeling” where people would be encouraged to stroll leisurely between stores, enjoy water features and sit beneath shade trees.
Additional improvements being made with the construction of retail space to accommodate more than 40 upscale outlet stores being leased through Craig Realty will complete that feel.
Meanwhile, Craig Realty has teamed up with the Manteca Convention & Visitors Bureau to start staging events designed to encourage the community and region to use Orchard Valley as a gathering place.
Among the upcoming events taking place at Orchard Valley through the auspices of the CVB that also operates the Manteca Visitors Center located at the lifestyle center are as follows:
