Whether you are looking for a fun girls day out, shopping for the perfect outfit or gift, or just making a quick cupcake run, Shoppes at Bellemead is sure to meet every need.

Established in late 2004 by codevelopers Rand Falbaum and Alvin Childs Jr., Shoppes at Bellemead was created with the slogan “A Beautiful Way to Shop” in mind. This vision set the tone for everything about the shopping complex; from the beautifully manicured landscaping, to the attractive architecture, to the choices of retail and restaurants. The atmosphere is upscale and modern, and while the development is conveniently located on Youree Drive, it is a quiet respite from the hustle of the main street shopping centers. Featuring easy-access parking and a quick to navigate layout, Shoppes at Bellemead takes the stress out of the shopping experience.

It is home to top retailers, with options to please a wide range of demographics and styles, including James Avery, Ann Taylor Loft, Chico’s, Coldwater Creek, Francesca’s Collection, Charming Charlie, Merle Norman, Sleep Number, Talbots & Talbots Woman, White House Black Market, Vertage Clothing Boutique, J. Jill, JOS A. Bank, Altar’d State, Frock Candy, Soma Intimates and Apricot Lane. These boutiques cater to customers of all ages, with exciting shopping options for everyone from teen shoppers to more mature clientele. Shoppes at Bellemead offers the latest in trends and the best quality, with each store reflecting the high standard of the complex.

Shoppes at Bellemead is also home to Spa Concepts, a full service AVEDA salon and day spa that caters to men and women, and features an array of salon and beauty services along with their signature beauty products. This relaxing spot is the perfect retreat, whether for a full makeover, a quick manicure or a spa day with the girls. The experts at Spa Concepts offer regular appointments and group parties.

Another store featured in the Shoppes at Bellemead complex is Maccentric, a local Apple-certified service provider. Established in 2006, Maccentric offers expert assistance and quality care for Apple devices and their users.

Shoppes at Bellemead boasts some of the best eats in town, including Cantina Laredo, Fairfield Grocery and Market Café and Buttercups Cupcakes and Coffee Bar.

Cantina Laredo is known for their sophisticated Mexico City style menu, elegant atmosphere and their awardwinning signature margaritas. They offer a weeknight Happy Hour from 4-6:30, and a ladies night special on Thursdays.

This is the perfect destination for a date night or a great place to refuel with the girls over lunch and cocktails. Guests can also take advantage of the private dining room for parties or corporate events.

The Fairfield Grocery and Market Café is a long-standing staple in Shreveport; known for their famous chicken salad, boiled shrimp po’boy with their signature pink remoulade sauce and what has been called the best brisket sandwich in town, this little hometown gem serves up an eager lunch crowd and offers to-go containers of its popular salads and desserts.

Buttercups Cupcakes and Coffee Bar serves up miniature cakes that have quickly become the stuff of legend. The business started out of the kitchen of local girl Kim Hand, and has grown to be a favorite treat of parties, weddings, and “just because” moments. Buttercups offers a mixture of perfectly classic flavors like chocolate, wedding cake, strawberry, red velvet and Italian cream cake as well as innovative flavors dreamed up by their team, including salted caramel, banana pudding, key lime pie and peanut butter. They also serve gluten free and vegan options, and feature seasonal favorites like the king cake cupcake. This spot is hard to resist if you’re in the vicinity, whether you are stopping in for a quick bite or a baker’s dozen.

Shoppes at Bellemead is a hub of upscale shopping, luxurious pampering, great eats and sweet treats; it’s time to plan that girls day or take a little you-time and come on over and discover a “beautiful way to shop”.
