Headed to the Westfield Palm Desert mall? Be sure to follow these six steps to have the best time while at the Coachella Valley’s largest indoor mall, brought to you by Stuft Pizza Bar and Grill.

Know Where to Park

The parking situation at the mall can be frustrating. Not only can spaces be hard to come by, some jerks feel the need to take up two spaces because I guess their car is just too good for one. The front side of the mall (off of Highway 111) fills up fast and the bottom of the parking garages in the back of the mall does too (especially during the summer when it is crazy hot outside and everyone wants to park in that valuable shade). But, do you know what doesn’t fill up fast? The top of the parking structures. If you don’t feel like driving around looking for a spot or, worse, slowly following people walking to their car, just pull up to the second level and be done.

Don’t Be in a Rush

In addition to the shopping, you can also grab some great food and drinks. Whether you are looking for green bean fries, a gorgonzola steak salad, or a personal pizza to power you up before you do your shopping or you want to celebrate those pair of pants you just got on sale with a cocktail, you can do it at Stuft Pizza – which offers a huge selection of tasty items on their menu.

Be Ready to Reply “No Thanks”

Would you like a sample? A message? Are you happy with your cell phone plan? You are going to be asked a lot of questions while you walk around the Westfield Palm Desert mall. Don’t get mad, these people are just trying to make a living, after all. A simple “no thanks” will work. It’s nice and they are used to it.

Drop Off Your Significant Other

Shopping isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Your girlfriend is going to get bored of you spending hours trying on shoes really fast, so tell her you will meet her at Stuft Pizza when you are done. Take all the time you want, she’ll be enjoying the best Happy Hour in the Coachella Valley.

Watch Out!

There was a time when you just had to watch out for other people when you walked through the Westfield Palm Desert mall.  Those days are over.  There’s a train full of kids coming up fast behind you and a pink elephant heading right toward you.

Time it Right

The Westfield Palm Desert mall can get crowded on weekends, but during the week, you can find plenty of room. Aim for Tuesday evening as, not only will you have some elbow room while you shop, but you can catch a movie at the Tristone Theater for cheap as they offer up big discounts on movies every Tuesday. Bonus: Hit up the amazing Happy Hour at Stuft Pizza before you go! Not a bad date night at all.
