    This Town Center offers a wide variety of Stores, Restaurants and Entertainment. I wonder what store will replace the old JCPENNY Store?

    I had a great time exploring and shopping at this outdoor shopping mall. It has some nice retail stores, all kinds of restaurants and grocery stores.It’s a one stop shopping mall for dining and entertainment .You can pretty much find everything and anything. I particularly enjoy having lunch and getting some work done on my laptop at Panera Bread.I highly recommend to all locals and also tourists ATM✅ Good Food ✅ Casual Dining ✅ Lovely Ambiance ✅ ♿️ Wheelchair Accessible Parking✅ ♿️Wheelchair Accessible Entrance✅ ♿️Wheelchair Accessible Restroom✅ 🚻Restroom

    We stopped by the food court to see what was available and then went to pick up the latest best seller from Baens and Noble. It looks like the center stays busy, at least while I was here?

    Lots of places to eat and shop. Parking is okay. Limited parking in front of the stores, but ample parking on outskirts of the center. Good option to a local mall and movie theater is nearby.

    New store I just Noticed in BTC. I know where I can go find a African wear. However they need better styles. I went in to look for a short dress, they mostly had by the knee or longer. However go try it, you might find something. I'll try again next in a couple of months. Service was good. The guy doesn't really know that much about the women stuff, so talk to the lady.

    Visited Off Broadway shoes and got some great shoes for decent prices with their BOGO 1/2 off even on clearance items. Customer service associates were courteous always asking if I needed any help and checkout was not fast too. Overall, great experience.

    Beautiful shopping spot with plenty of eateries & a nice quiet ambience. There was also a live band playing that day in front of Party HQ so that made the experience even better.

    Nice town center, but NEVER ANY PARKING!!! Half the retail stores where closed really early too. Could have been due to covid, but would loved a sign on the door.

    A really nice outdoor mall that is nice for walking, as it has a "town" vibe as opposed to just being store frontage. There is a really neat escape room here "all in adventures" that we really enjoyed as well. Plenty of parking also.

    Doesn’t really have many stores that grab my attention, except their Barnes and Noble, as small as it is, is still pretty nice. This is also definitely the place to go if you want to grab something to eat because there are lots of choices here.

    Foods good. Waitress was a little slow. Manager came and check on us often and was very friendly. Might have been an off day. Over a good experience.

  • 4/5 Luciana B. 2 years ago on Google
    This shopping area is okay; unfortunately quite a few stores, over the past few years, have closed. Once the food court closed a few years ago, I slowed down visiting as much. With that being said, there are still several good places, even some new food options, in lieu of the food court closure, to choose from. The town center also still holds various events yearly, for all ages, which is great for the community. I personally think this is a good place to park and walk (especially on a good weather day), to check out the different merchants and restaurants. Many of the eateries also offer alfresco dining, which is a refreshing alternative. And LA Fitness is amongst the choices, for fitness enthusiasts. There is also a smaller strip mall across the street, on the backside of Bowie Town Center, called The Shoppes at Bowie Town Center, which I consider more of an extension to the main thing. California Tortilla, Music & Arts, Goodwill and a handful of other stores make up this micro version. The best time to go, if you want to enjoy the ease of movement and avoid the crowds, is definitely during the week. This place still gets very busy during the weekend.

    This town center style shopping cluster is nice and has matured into a four-star operation. The parking is good now that construction is complete in most areas and there are very few vacant tenants. Worth stopping in.

  • 5/5 Phil K. 2 years ago on Google
    I stopped for lunch at Three Brothers Pizza. It wasn't crowded and was able to walk right to the order counter. Staff was very friendly. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken wrap, it was delivered to the table quickly, was hot and very tasty.

  • 4/5 Tom De S. 2 years ago on Google
    I go here primarily for the Barnes and Noble bookstore and the restaurants. This is an outdoor mall that is generally fully leased although there have been some Covid casualties.

    Beautifully kept and maintained . Party Central was rocking.. bowling.. dancing .. and the staff is Amazing.. whoever does the hiring has a😜gift... Felt like home...

  • 3/5 Robert J. 10 months ago on Google
    Still a lot of potential with this community town center. I’m glad to see the transition to more restaurants with healthier options. Also parking is always easy. And I love the summer and weekend vendor and music events. The only thing I would recommend is that it needs a really good power washing and cleaning. Sidewalks look grimy. Windows are dirty. It just needs a good cleaning. Management company should clean or hold store owners responsible for keeping the area clean. We deserve that

    Do not bring your electronics to the Geek Squad at this location. Here's my cautionary tale. My computer was working before I brought it in. All the tech had to do was install the 64 gb of ram that I bought. When I dropped it off, the woman I checked in with, said they would call me if the ram wasn't compatible. I got an email and text that the job was completed. When I went to pick it up, she told me they couldn't do the installation because the ram was too big. No one called and the message sent stated the was completed. I fussed with her about it, then dropped it. I asked, since I got the wrong ram, if she or a tech could tell me what ram was compatible with my computer. She told me to go to the computer manufacturer's site and put in my model number to get the right ram. Great customer service. The woman had the nerve to ask me to do her a favor and give her 10s on the survey, despite me leaving unhappy. I got home and tried to power up my PC. It turns on, clicks off, and the process repeats without ever booting up. I use this computer for my video production business. Now, I ha E to send it to the manufacturer to fix what the Geek Squad techs messed up. And I have to do this with client work coming up. I'm so angry and feel so powerless. I would complain to a manager, but I doubt there would be any accountability for this. I'm never going to this store again. It's 12 minutes from my house, but I'm willing to drive 45 minutes to the Best Buy in Annapolis for my Geek Squad services. Don't say I didn't warn you.

    Great shops and location! The only downside is parking; it is always so busy that you may have to loop several times before finding a spot.

  • 5/5 James B. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent waiters, food, games & customer service. The owners even made sure our 1st visit was a memorable one . We will definitely return.

  • 5/5 Erica N. 1 year ago on Google
    I only come here to go to Panda Express and it is AMAZING every time!!!! Great food, friendly employees and I will 100% be back (probably next week because it's about an hour drive)

  • 5/5 Millie O. 1 year ago on Google
    What would be better than to spend a lovely Sunday afternoon in such a welcoming shopping mall like Bowie! I loved the clean sidewalks, the soothing background music, the convenience of stores - my favorite Barnes & Noble, Mezeh, Three Bothers plus a bunch of all others including Macy’s, Victoria’s Secret, Best Buy etc. The Olive Garden here was much more welcoming too. Thank you Barnes & Noble for being at this Mall. Whole Foods, why are you not at this lovely place? Did I mention the Electric Vehicle charging station and the drive in ATM?! Wonderful! All in all, this mall gets my five stars and more.

  • 4/5 Sergio C. 11 months ago on Google
    Love this place. Stores are arranged so nicely. You can have a nice walk, eat and shop well.

  • 3/5 Andrew T. 11 months ago on Google
    I love that there is still a Barnes & Noble here. This place has so much potential, but I guess like many other shopping locations stores have taken a hit and the level of professionalism has also taken a hit. It’s in a great location and they also have other outdoor events there.

  • 5/5 Paulette C. 2 years ago on Google
    Bowie Town Center is always clean great eateries, ok shopping 🛍 needs more store Tommy Hilfiger or Polo Ralph Lauren would be greater there. I love it for quick eating or buying due to Macy's but other major stores are needed urgently, maybe a Ross or Marshall's please improve on this quickly, thx.

  • 3/5 Victoria H. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm biased because I work here. This place has a high business turn over rate. I usually enjoy every business that comes, but they don't typically last more than 2 years, so if you like things here, don't get too attached. We recently got a new marketing person who's been GREAT for the town center and he's been putting together amazing events. He's single handedly brought life back into the town center in the last 1.5 years. I understand this town center is 20 years old along with some of our shops. Not all stores have been renovated in 20 years, just touched up, so don't expect the newest appliances or the best interior designs. The food options are expanding, but still nothing that makes me come back every week. The clothing stores are also expanding, lots of boutiques here now. There's at least 3 hair salons and one barber shop. It's also located 5 min up the street from Walmart and another town center with more shops. There's an extended stay place hidden in the town center as well as apartments (I think).

    I wasn't impressed at all. I went several times when it 1st opened and the quality of stores and appearance has gone down drastically. Let's do better Prince George's County

  • 5/5 Hugh W. 1 year ago on Google
    Bowie town center has a little of everything form restaurants, clothing, shoes, fashionable brand name store and if you're in need of groceries Safeway is within walking distance.

  • 3/5 James C. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely not what it used to be in its prime. Used to do most of my Christmas shopping in this place. Now its a revolving mix of low rent and closed spaces but still has a decent amount of eating options. Not a dump, but definitely not what it used to be.

  • 5/5 George M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice shopping plaza, I go for Three Brothers pizza and to visit the Dollar Tree which is a large clean store that has almost double the merchandise and selection of other dollar trees

  • 2/5 Tempus F. 1 year ago on Google
    The BTC has gone down over the years. The people they hire to work in the stores are teenagers that have no clue in providing customer service. Cars speed into the town center so please be careful at the new Aroma restaurant across from Sardi's because you can easily be hit by a car. The fountain is another area that's dangerous because drivers aren't courteous when it comes to pedestrians. THe security is a joke and they are more concerned with people parking to pick up food than the safety and security of the customers. There are stores in the BTC that are still provide excellent customers service; Barnes & Noble, Bath and Body Works, Express, Macy's are a few. The shoe stores hired guys out the hood that I'm puzzled how they possibly passed a background check. Sorry, brothers - we must do better and treat all with respect, regardless of race, nationality, gender, orientation, etc. There are a few homeless guys or people that are asking for money and the employees dominate the storefront parking spaces so that the customers are forced to park farther away. That shouldn't happen. I've been there and I see it happen. The manager's in the store should take note and ask them not to and remind them that they're in a place of business and should act accordingly. BTC has become hood and no longer a place I prefer to unless it's for a coffee or work at Panera - those are places that are nice that you forget you're in the ghetto. Black people must do better because PGC is predominantly black, the level and quality of service is poor.

    Being on a special diet is hard. I called one restaurant to ask about customization and they reply like they never heard that just 'what's your order?' I hung up and called Olive Garden; night and day difference in their phone manner!! The person taking the order made definitely sure of what needed to be excluded and how the food should be prepared. Unfortunately the kitchen didn't follow through on the request for soft cooked broccoli; it's something restaurants in general don't do. It's doing a great disservice to a lot of elderly people. But for two thumbs up for the servers, from the person who initially answered the phone to the one who took the order to the one who brought the food out.🏅

    Skip Mezeh for food and go someplace else. Overpriced and not worth the money. Staff not customer friendly at all. Never again!! Music was great. Nice time at Concert for a Cause. @mezeh

  • 5/5 MELISSA T. 1 year ago on Google
    An outside mall with shopping options such as the dollar store and Macy's. A huge selection of restaurants including The Olive Garden and Longhorn Steakhouse. Adequate parking.

  • 5/5 Ne-Col S. 1 year ago on Google
    I won't lie I just went to the Dollar Tree. I just needed a few snacks and some craft stuff. This is one of my favorite Dollar Tree stores to go to it's always clean it's tidy and the people always very nice.

  • 5/5 Tijuana J. 1 year ago on Google
    I shop at the Walmart in Bowie Md. and always visit the Safeway in Bowie for meats, seafood, vegetables etc. Very good store. Bakery, deli and fresh seafood excellent. Service is good also. Love Walmart but, I have to shop at this Safeway for my fresh perishables when I am in Bowie. Convenient for me too!

    Very good service. Clean….. The complimentary continental breakfast is everything!!!! They had a very large selection. Continuously restocking everything until it ended. Don’t sleep on it!!! Robert at the front desk was very helpful with restaurants. He even printed off printed off the places for us! We will be coming back when in Maryland again! Thanks to everyone!

    The Savor Bowie Festival was well done and very enjoyable. The acts all performed entertaining sets, the wait between them was short, and the MC's kept the crowd engaged. The variety of the vendors was especially nice. A great afternoon.

  • 5/5 Toni G. 2 years ago on Google
    It was early around 9 am. It was busy. Many of the stores weren't open yet. I had a nice breakfast at First Watch.

👍 We went to Allure spa & nails and got family pedicures. 😁 This is a go-to place for us especially in the summertime. The technicians were nice and professional. They do a really good job on your feet, and my wife and daughter always come out happy. Check them out!
