The following two major retail centers provide the biggest draw for Apple Valley:

• Apple Valley Commons, developed by Lewis Retail Centers, is a 650,000 square foot center anchored by California's first Super Target. The Super Target has been an important concept here changing the way people shop for groceries. Super Target stores include a bakery, deli, fresh (and often organic) produce, restaurant, one-hour photo center, optical center, pharmacy and Starbucks. Available retail space at the project includes restaurant and sub-anchor pads, in-line units, and an adjacent 10-acre hotel or office site. A 260,000 square foot Walmart Supercenter is in development across the street from Apple Valley Commons with an anticipated opening date in 2013.The Supercenters also combine a full grocery and general merchandise under one roof. The concept of a grocery anchored center has started to change in the High Desert with the introduction of both Walmart and Target’s combined grocery and lifestyle concepts.

• Jess Ranch Marketplace is one of the region’s most dynamic retail destinations. Developed by ICSC past-Chairman, Mr. Mal Riley, president of Mal Riley & Associates, this 969,000 square foot regional center includes Cinemark Theater, 24 Hour Fitness, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Best Buy, WinCo Foods, Burlington Coat Factory, Applebee’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Red Robin, Bank of America, Big 5 Sporting Goods, Oggi's Pizza & Brewery, Kirkland's, Lane Bryant, PetSmart, Rite Aid, Staples and US Bank. Available commercial space includes a 10,000 square foot pad, inline units and adjacent hotel and office sites.

A major development to occur in the next two years is the Yucca Loma Bridge, a critical capital project that will link west Apple Valley with Interstate-15 through the city of Victorville. Now in the pre-development phase, the Bridge will open the intersection of Yucca Loma Road and Apple Valley Road (Apple Valley’s chief north-south arterial) for development of The Fountains at Quail Ridge, a much anticipated 346,000 square foot lifestyle center located at the heart of Apple Valley’s best demographic area. The Fountains is now available for lease or purchase."
