When we go to a new place, especially for the first time, we don’t want to go to the same chains and large corporations we see at home and dotted everywhere. Instead, we want to see stores that offer something we don’t typically get to see at home, or that we may never get the chance to venture into again. For those of you who connect with this sentiment, we have put together a list of the top five local Scottsdale shops!
