What truly sets Oakway Center apart is its thoughtful mix of stores.

You can discover unique gifts at Luxe Gifts, find the perfect pair of shoes at Burch's, or explore the latest beauty trends at Sephora. The presence of local favorites alongside national retailers creates a balanced and engaging shopping experience. Beyond the impressive retail offerings, Oakway Center shines with its diverse culinary scene. Whether you're craving the fresh flavors of Cafe Yumm!, the festive atmosphere of Chapala Mexican Restaurant, or the sophisticated ambiance of Sabai Cafe & Bar, there's something to satisfy every palate. It's the perfect place to grab a quick bite while running errands or to enjoy a leisurely meal with friends and family. The center itself is thoughtfully designed and maintained. The charming Heritage Courtyard provides a pleasant respite, and the overall layout makes navigating the various shops and restaurants a breeze. Ample parking further adds to the convenience, making visits stress-free. And let's not forget the added bonus of the adjacent Hyatt Place Eugene/Oakway Center. This makes Oakway an ideal location not just for locals but also for visitors who appreciate having quality shopping and dining options right at their doorstep.

Read moreI used to rule the world Chunks would load when I gave the word Now every night I go stow away Hide from the mobs I used to slay
They once were terrified Every time I looked into their eyes Villagers would cheer my way For a hero I was, that's what they'd say
One minute we had it all Next our world began to fall Away from all that it had once become They all cried for my help, but I stood there numb
I gaze off into the boundless skyline Noteblock choirs playing in the sunshine Turn 'round pick up my sword and wield The blade that once forced evil mobs to yield And hope one day that this chaos and Destruction turns for the better Never a bow in hand That was when I ruled the land
