Southwest Plaza is an enclosed shopping mall in unincorporated Jefferson County, just south of Denver. Its postal address uses Littleton because the ZIP code is mainly tied to that city. The two-level mall holds over 150 stores and a food court, along with several sit-down restaurants. The mall's website describes mountain views from the property and says it welcomes dogs in its stores, public spaces, and common areas. Seasonal extras have included photos with Santa by reservation.
