Is your list of errands sending you all around town? Perhaps your to-dos include picking up a birthday cake, ordering thank-you flowers, cashing a check, buying a new outfit for dinner with the in-laws, exchanging a video game for your son, and getting your hair and nails done. Wouldn’t it be convenient if you could take care of everything in one place? At Ne-Mar Shopping Center you can, with 32 shops, restaurants and service providers to make your on-the-go life easier.
