Crossroads Plaza

Crossroads Plaza is the big shopping center on Crossroads Boulevard in Cary, and it anchors the retail district that shares its name. The mix runs from national retailers to restaurants, with entertainment on site as well, so it covers most of a day out.

Kimco Realty owns the property. It is the kind of center you can spend an afternoon in, with enough shopping and dining in one place to make the trip worth it, and there is a patio where the center puts on events through the year.

What to know

• Curbside pickup is offered at designated spots around the center.
• A weekly fall music series brings live music to The Patio on Thursday evenings.
• Shoppers can search for a specific store before they visit.
• A mailing list sends news about stores and upcoming events.
