There are 4 primary shopping areas in Sedona: Prime Outlets in the Village of Oak Creek has the highest density of brand name stores including The Gap. Hillside Galleries and Tlaquepaque are more upscale, located along Hwy 179 below the “Y.” Uptown has the most shops selling Sedona and Southwestern related souvenir items, although there are art galleries as well.
I don’t usually like to reveal my sources, but in the case of shopping, I’m happy to reveal my expert contact: Mom. She is a frequent visitor, and judging from the shopping bags, a major contributor to the local economy. Shopping in Sedona is definitely Southwestern, says Mom, who always appreciates the friendliness of local retailers, and the overall quality of what is on sale. Price-wise, Tlaquepaque is the place for the nicest things, and Hillside will likewise cost–and offer–more. Uptown is less expensive with more trinkets. The west side of town and the Village of Oak Creek are good places to go to save a little money. Mom notes that most stores do not stay open late.
Here, with the input of Mom and many locals, is a list of some of Sedona’s most interesting stores.
