The Shops at Montebello is nestled up against the hills in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley, only eight miles east of downtown Los Angeles, in the predominantly suburban community of Montebello. The mall dominates this ethnically diverse trade area with an offering of four department stores and 160 shops, eateries, and restaurants — remaining the long-standing sales-per-square- foot leader in the San Gabriel Valley. Its popularity is further underscored by customer traffic counts that exceeded 10.5 million in 2009.
