Canyon Crest Towne Centre — Local services in Riverside

Unfortunately, I cannot (with clear conscious)give ANY sort of positive reccomend fo anyone to visit The power hungry and overly harassment of obsessive employees who instead of welcoming you in their place of business and thank you for choosing there to shop and offer to be of any assistance or ask if we have anything in need of answering , instead I was met with (after first making sure with the employee up front that it was ok to take a long my personal items I had with me in my backpack and a few grocery bags ) he said "yes of course, I didn't hear you beep whatsoever when you came inside the store ,so you shouldn't beep on your way out either. which I was glad to hear so I headed to where the restrooms are and I am told with a barking At like tone of voice that "While shopping YOU MUST LEAVE YOUR BACK PACK UP FRONT" And I responded with complete amazement and bewilderment that this cashier/employee had the shortsighted and complete discrimatory belief that a male at age 35 enters rite aid for the only reason and which you believe to be is Unjustified un sound.and complete falsehood belief that you felt the sudden urge and needed to without any thought to make such a incorrect and unfounded accusatory statement toward a guest immediately say that to me and even as I let you know that I had just asked and conflirmed with front cashier and that he had Answered me affirming that there was not any issue at all having my Personal backpack with me during shopping...

By far the most beautiful shopping center in Southern California, and I save this confidently in comparison, with Irvine, Beverly Hills, and anywhere else. It is so peaceful and well laid out. Driving and it seems so big, you have to drive around the whole block just to get from one side to the other. But if you park your car anywhere, you can get from Ralph’s all the way to the opposite side on Canyon crest by just walking through the shops. The shopping center is absolutely stunning. They have beautiful fountains, sitting areas, amazing restaurants, and the nature that is present there is unbelievable. You feel like you’re in Big Bear even though you’re just in Riverside. I have never seen a Hallmark USPS before, it looks like you’re straight out of a Christmas movie. In addition, the Christmas tree is amazingly decorated and statured. Ralphs there is artisan. The shops are so unique, there is an olive oil shop there! For all the locals, you’re lucky...

Zero (0) Stars for new management running out the best independent book store in the area!!!!!!!!

Negative Infinity Stars for the parking lot, which I'll get to at the end.

Otherwise, a very convenient center with a little something for everyone. There are summer and holiday concerts and crafts, a lucky lottery doughnut shop, 24-hour Rite-Aid, two different banks, a metaphysical store, Ralph's, dry cleaner, watch repair, British shoppe, olive oil boutique, wine tasting, dog groomers, humidor, UPS Store (hey Krista!), and restaurants galore.

However, the way people drive through the parking lot is completely ridiculous. I've been in some bad parking lots with very rude drivers and this one is the absolute worst. I can't tell you how many times I've almost been hit backing out of a space. It's so bad I wouldn't dream of EVER walking across the parking lot - NEVER! I will drive to the other side first instead of enjoying a...
