Valencia Town Center — A Community Gathering Place for Every Season

by Santa Clarita Magazine | Sep 1, 2025 | Community

For more than three decades, Valencia Town Center has been more than just a shopping destination—it has been a true community gathering place where neighbors meet, families celebrate, and seasonal traditions come to life. Under Centennial Real Estate’s leadership, the center continues to evolve while staying focused on offering experiences that connect with the Santa Clarita Valley.

New Openings & Returning Favorites

The retail mix at Valencia Town Center keeps getting stronger. Pandora has recently opened a beautifully updated location, while longtime favorite Chick-fil-A is undergoing renovation inside the mall and will reopen late summer. Charley’s Philly Steaks re-opened in their former location at the Food Court. Stop by to grab your favorite cheesesteak for lunch.
