The Waterworks Shopping Center — Local services in Pittsburgh

I was at Panera bread in waterworks plaza and when I got here a guy with a half a bag of food and this is something Southland and Bakery Square are both doing at those locations if you already have food in the bag from Panera they share the other food with the customers that did not get anything yet and they may want something but that was not the case today at Waterworks Panera not even 20 minutes to a half hour after I got there this guy with a bag of food from Panera decided to go in front of me and order the LAST CINNAMON ROLL and I asked if there was any more and the worker said no that guy said well I asked for it first and he had a bag of food.

Outdoor center, upscale strip mall. Giant Eagle is the anchor tenant. Walmart, but not a Supercenter. Quite a few restaurants, not just fast food. State store. Pet store. Discount clothing stores (2). Adjacent to a GetGo. Multiple branch banks. Barnes & Noble bookstore. Generous parking. Well lit and well maintained. PAT bus service. Middle income community center. Movie theater (recently updated) in the rear with its own parking lot. Covered walkways. Minimal to moderate landscaping. Moderate turnover but only a few vacancies. Convenient to Route 28. I have used this mall since 1988 and seen it steadily upgraded. It could use more landscaping, but that's a quibble. Yes, you can comfortably walk its length...
