BEST SHOPPING CENTER
M ontgomery Village has secured the honor of Best Shopping Center in NBb’s 2025 Best of the North Bay readers’ poll. Kris Miller, general manager of Montgomery Village, believes the center’s long history in the county built a foundation for its growth and accomplishments over the years. “Montgomery Village has been a staple in Santa Rosa for 75 years,” says Miller, noting that when it opened on Memorial Day in 1950, The Village had 15 shops. “Today, we’re home to over 40 brands.” (Montgomery Village is named after William “Billy” Montgomery, a Santa Rosa resident and U.S. Navy gunner’s mate who was among the 2,403 Americans killed in the attack at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.) Over the years Montgomery Village has grown into a shopping center where consumers can support local businesses and shop for popular national brands all in one place. The center stays creative and innovative by staging popular events for locals. “From our beloved Weekend Santa Sightings and Lessons for Littles to new favorites like Wellness Weekend and Fête de la Musique, we’re constantly working to create memorable experiences for all ages and interests,” says Miller. She also highlights the announcement of 11 new brands set to open throughout this year, including businesses The Village has never had before, like a brewery and an ice creamery.
