    I came here mainly for Zippy’s. This location has both a sit-down restaurant and a separate counter for takeout. The food here is so tasty and fresh, just what you would expect from Zippy’s. I also noticed there is a Dairy Queen here. As always, TJ Maxx distracted me because I could not resist looking around and ended up finding some super cute bags and baby clothes. The place has a huge parking lot, which is definitely a plus. However, getting a taxi from here is an absolute nightmare since you have to call one because there are no taxis driving around the area.
