The RIM Shopping Center

Great shopping area, plenty of parking. I was impressed at all the stores that are here. I’ll pick the Rim over the Quarry anytime now. So much more of a variety of stores and restaurants. It’s all nicely balanced.

Took me awhile to give the Rim a chance. But, I was presently surprised. It seems to constantly be growing and in a good way. They even have a European wax center now! So, glad they finally got one closer to me. They have so many great stores and so many great food choices. Always a clean environment too. A real family friendly shopping center.

This shopping center on the north west side of town is huge. It’s a rather recent addition to the shopping center inventory in San Antonio. The Rim has lots of major retailers, such as Best Buy and other national chain stores.
The parking here is decent. They did plan out the parking design of this place rather well.
I really enjoy the architectural decorations at the entrance. They seem to be some sort of Spanish or Roman design at the entrance that gives it a classy look.
My main complaint about this place is getting around. The parking lots are so expansive that they built these private roads going throughout the shopping complex, and they lack the necessary signage and traffic signs to get the place operating smoothly. Plus, it doesn’t help that most people here seem to be driving around like they were strolling at the mall, doing a quarter of the posted speed limit with their blinker while weaving mindlessly across the road. This is a constant problem here, and I don’t blame them because there’s no signs telling you where things are around here.
Generally, I try to stay out of the Rim. Nothing is close by to one-​another, and you have to drive and park, and drive and park if you want to get around this place since it’s so big.

Constantly expanding. They just built a Petsmart and Hobby Lobby! Love this shopping area. Clean, fairly new, and so convenient. You’ve got restaurants, stores, movie theaters, farmer’s markets on the weekend. What more could you ask for?

Why don’t ppl like the RIM? I don’t get it.
Sure it is not necessarily an upscale place. But it is good for what it is IMO. I come here often because they have pretty much all these stores I stop at. There is a Target, World Market, Ulta, Best Buy, Saks 5^th Ave off 5^th and Nordstrom Rack. There is even a dollar store here too. And not to mention Total Wine and More opened a branch store here recently! Guess more wine for me!
It’s convenient. What not to like?

Well, I have seen this place rise from the ground up. Needless to say I am also stating how long I’ve worked in the area. This shopping center gave the vacation crowd a new selection and better proximity to shopping that was previously not available close by. The weary traveler now was able to make a choice other than the Shoppes at La Cantera for some toiletries they may have forgotten at Target or some quick bites to eat at the local restaurants. But where to watch a movie you ask? Well the behemoth Palladium theatre. As shops and condos pop us almost monthly, this seems to be a spot that will only get bigger. Take a trip if you dare in the Texas heat.
