Tanglewood Plaza in Columbus, Ohio

Most visits here start with a straight shot up Hilliard-Rome Road and a quick decision about which anchor to hit first. Tanglewood Plaza is anchored by Dick’s Sporting Goods, with additional stops for off-price finds and everyday essentials that make it easy to knock out a few errands in one go.

The center sits along the west-side retail strip just off I‑70, so getting in and out is simple even on busy weekends. It draws steady traffic from adjacent big-box neighbors that act as shadow anchors, including Sam’s Club, Kohl’s and a nearby Esporta Fitness, which helps keep the lineup of shops lively at most hours.

Shopping here is straightforward. Start at Dick’s for team gear or outdoor equipment, then browse the racks at Ross Dress for Less for apparel and home basics. If you’re restocking pantry fillers, school supplies or quick household items, Dollar Tree is one of the easy in-and-out stops. The overall mix leans national and familiar, so you know what you’ll find before you park and you can plan a multi-stop route without crossing town.

Built in 2007, the plaza was designed for big-format retail, and it serves the neighborhoods around Hilliard-Rome Road as a practical catch-all for sports outfitting, value apparel and low-friction everyday shopping. It’s the kind of place where a quick pickup turns into two or three efficient stops because most of the west-side staples are clustered together.
