Calling Butler County’s Liberty Center ‘the social playground of the region,’ Chain Store Age magazine named the mixed-use development among its Top 10 retail center experiences in America for 2025.

The Liberty Twp. development was rated eighth on the list, listed as “a walkable outdoor environment blending retail, dining, entertainment, wellness, hospitality and residential offerings.”

“This recognition is a proud moment for Liberty Center and for the community we serve,” said John Taylor, senior general manager of Liberty Center.

“Our goal has always been to create more than just a shopping destination. We’ve built a place where experiences happen, connections are made, and memories are created year-round.”

The $350 million center opened 10 years ago on 64 acres at the Interstate 75/Ohio 129 interchange. It has more than 800,000 square feet of retail, restaurants and entertainment space. There is also about 75,000 square feet of office space, a 240-unit residential complex and a 130-room AC hotel by Marriott.
