West Loop Shopping Center — Local services in Manhattan

As a loyal Local of Manhattan, I’m grateful that Westloop Shopping Center is practically in my backyard.

Located in the family-friendly neighborhoods west of K-State, Westloop has quickly become the one-stop-shop for all your needs. With over 30 shops and eateries including big names like Dillon's, Joann's, Marshall's and McD's, you'll find everything you're looking for under one ‘roof’. I appreciated that Dillon's is open late (11pm) so I can grab groceries even after a long day at work!

The wide selection of retailers definitely gave me plenty to browse on a lazy Saturday. One of my personal faves being Eat the Frog Fitness - their diverse exercise classes are just the motivation I need to stick to my New Year's resolution. I can’t forget my local favorite Scooter's Coffee when I need the perfect pick-me-up.

Traffic can get a bit jammed up around meal times as everyone flocks to the go-to local McDs! Parking is plentiful though, so you won't have to worry about circling the lots.

And it seems like just yesterday that the high school marching band was playing at the grand opening of Marshall's (or Marshalls? Is there an apostrophe? Is it worse to leave out an apostrophe or include one spuriously?) in the old Dillons building, but that was tenth or eleventh grade, and now I'm in, like, eighteenth grade or something, if I'm in a...

This shopping center is always very busy. I have lived in Manhattan for a little over 6 months and I also live within 3-4 minutes driving of this shopping center. It's always difficult to locate parking, and drivers frequently ignore things like stop signs and handicap parking. Even though it would be extremely irritating with the addition of a traffic circle, it would definitely slow people down and somewhat consciously think of their speed, and level of safety while driving through this lot. I have witnessed pedestrians having difficulty walking from parking spaces at extended distances just to get to where they need to...
