The retail character of Newport News has trended upward in recent years. City Center at Oyster Point and Port Warwick have become the fashion shopping destinations on the Virginia Peninsula. Jefferson Commons contains an eclectic mix that includes Trader Joe's, Pier One Imports, Ulta and Justice. Hilton Village is the Peninsula's original Main Street. Patrick Henry Place is currently under development for upscale retail and restaurants in a mixed-use setting. Patrick Henry Mall anchors the super-hot Patrick Henry Retail Corridor.
