"Since The Village at Arrowhead opened five years ago, the center has provided much more than an upscale shopping experience for the community. It has been a place where families can gather and experience music and art, as well as take part in events that benefit the community," said Mary Walker, marketing director of the shopping center and president of Power Promotions. "In the past five years tons of food has been collected to benefit the food banks, thousands of dollars of toys and clothing have been donated to the child crisis center, as well as the priceless fun experienced by those who have come to the center to enjoy music, art and family-oriented activities."

The Village at Arrowhead offers specialty shops that provide the ultimate shopping experience with distinctive fashion, home furnishings, restaurants and personal services in one of the most architecturally unique and aesthetically pleasing shopping centers in the West Valley.
