"Flatiron Crossing is the indoor mall component of Broomfield's expansive shopping, dining, entertainment and business district along the Boulder Turnpike. Anchor stores are Macy's, Nordstrom, Dillard's and Dick's Sporting Goods. In addition to 200 shops and restaurants, Flatiron Crossing has a movie theater with comfy, reservable lounge chairs and a popular summer concert series complete with Beer Garden."
"Known as the "less local" more mainstream mall of Boulder, the 29th Street Mall boasts big names such as Nordstrom Rack, Macy's, and Victoria's Secret. Dining can be found just around the corner at Colorado Pizza Kitchen, Noodles & Company, and Mad Greens. Catch a movie at Boulder Century Theater and then grab dessert at one of Boulder's best frozen yogurt spots, Spooners, where you're charged by the ounce and toppings abound."
"The Twenty Ninth Street Mall in central Boulder features more chains and big names than anywhere else in town. Here, you’ll find Victoria’s Secret, Nordstrom Rack, Lululemon, Macy’s, Anthropologie, Apple, Sephora, H&M and more. The mall actually has several different sections separated by roads, so make sure you visit them all."
"The Village is a collection of more than 40 locally owned shops centrally located between Arapahoe and Canyon and 28th and Folsom streets. This is an outdoor strip mall, but it’s nicely appointed and home to some of Boulder’s most beloved staples, such as McGuckins Hardware (seriously, it has everything), Grandrabbits Toy Shoppe, Colorado Multisport and Pedestrian Shops (which also has a Pearl Street presence). Also make sure you visit women’s clothng store JJ Wells and Epic Mountain Gear, to name a few of the highlights here."

"Crossroads Commons, 2905 Pearl St., is a busy shopping area at the end of Pearl Street. The heart here is the ever-packed Whole Foods, but the Barnes & Noble and Bicycle Village are also big draws. Crossroads Commons is also a great place to get a massage, mani/pedi, haircut, fake tan, tooth cleaning and bikini wax — maybe not all in one sitting, although you could do them all without having to get in the car."
