At a time when many American shopping malls are having to redefine their purpose, the Westfield Galleria at Roseville shines as a vibrant hub of innovation and community. As it looks ahead to its 25th anniversary in August, the Galleria has continued to build on its legacy while navigating the changes in the retail landscape. Energized by its ongoing success and continued evolution, it shows no signs of slowing down.
With more than 1.3 million square feet of retail space and over 240 stores and services, the Galleria has long been a regional powerhouse. The scale of the shopping center is impressive, but it’s the quality of its tenants that makes it exceptional. The mall is home to some of the most elite and hard-to-land luxury retailers in the world, including Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Saint Laurent and Tiffany & Co. These brands are famously selective, choosing locations that attract affluent shoppers and reflect their prestige. That they choose to call Roseville home speaks volumes about the Galleria’s reach and influence.
But the Galleria isn’t reserved just for luxury connoisseurs. Its wide appeal lies in the variety of experiences it offers for all ages. From tech favorites like the Apple Store and immersive entertainment hubs like Round 1 and Cinemark, to relaxed dining at restaurants including Ruth’s Chris Steak House and Land Ocean, the Galleria is as much a place to gather and unwind as it is to shop. New additions like the Trails at Roseville, a nature-inspired indoor play space for children, show the center’s commitment to creating multigenerational appeal.
What truly sets the Galleria apart goes beyond its distinctive design and impressive roster of tenants — it’s the center’s remarkable resilience and proactive spirit. Over the years, the Galleria has transformed challenges into opportunities for growth. In 2010, after a fire caused extensive damage, the response was swift and determined. Restoration efforts brought sections of the mall back to life within weeks and, in less than a year, a stronger, more modern space was unveiled. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020 and shopping centers everywhere were required to close, the Galleria once again led the way. With outstanding support from Placer County and the rapid implementation of comprehensive health and safety measures, the Galleria became the first mall in California to reopen its doors. This achievement stands as a testament to the center’s leadership, its dedicated partnerships and a true commitment to the well-being of both tenants and guests.
None of these recoveries happened by chance. Behind the polished storefronts and lively concourses is a deeply dedicated team working tirelessly to adapt the Galleria to meet new demands. From operations to marketing to long-term development planning, the mall’s ongoing success is the product of strategic leadership and countless hours of behind-the-scenes labor.
The Westfield Galleria at Roseville is set to launch its 25th anniversary celebrations with “Sip, Shop, and Celebrate,” an engaging kickoff event running every Friday in August from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Shoppers are invited to pick up a passport and embark on a journey through the center, starting at the recently opened Nespresso boutique in the Grand Court. As guests visit participating retailers, they’ll collect stamps toward VIP Lounge access and an entry to win an exciting grand prize at the end of the month. While the official anniversary date falls on Aug. 25, the festivities will continue well into the fall and winter. Highlights include a special on-mall event in partnership with the Sacramento Kings in October, a curated Holiday Gift Guide in November, and a festive lineup of holiday events throughout.
As it enters the next phase of its journey, the Westfield Galleria at Roseville stands as a reminder that through adversity, change and continued reinvention, success isn’t just possible — it’s sustainable. The mall’s combination of prestige, accessibility and forward-thinking strategy proves that with the right foundation and vision, even legacy institutions in retail can continue to lead the way.
