About Free People at Stanford Shopping Center
Free People is a women's clothing chain owned by Urban Outfitters, Inc., the group that also owns Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters. Its Stanford Shopping Center store is in Suite 196. The brand describes the shop simply as a place to buy women's clothing, accessories and more. At the same center, Urban Outfitters has its own store facing El Camino Real and Anthropologie & Co. is a short walk away.
The center's directory places Free People on Lady Ellen Place, the walkway between Bloomingdale's and Macy's. Tommy Bahama is listed nearby, with Pandora and Janie and Jack on the same stretch. The directory suggests the three-level parking garage on Orchard Lane, near McDonald's, as the closest way in.
What the store carries
Besides the main bohemian-style women's clothing and accessories, the store page confirms four departments at this location:
- FP Movement: the activewear line, sold inside the main store
- Shoes
- Intimates
- Beauty: the brand's beauty and wellness picks
Collections turn over through the season, so call before you drive over for something specific. The store page lists a phone number and a directions link but no services such as styling appointments or in-store pickup, so check the brand's website for its pickup and return rules. Our Stanford Shopping Center guide covers the rest of the center.
