From big malls to the perfect antique shops, the Heart of Texas is a shopper’s paradise!
The Heart of Texas has every conceivable shopping experience, from the latest wares found across the country to the unique vintage articles found only in the region. Mall shopping opportunities in the region are centered in the Waco MSA. The Richland Mall has the big mall acreage experience, with all of the stores typically found in those settings.

And new development is on the way in the form of projects like the Cottonwood Creek Market, a 143-acre mixed commercial development in Waco currently under construction.
