Code of Conduct

Citrus Plaza and Mountain Grove shopping centers (the “Centers”) consist of shopping, parking and other common areas. The Centers are privately owned properties where the public is invited to enjoy the pleasant, safe, family-oriented environment for purposes of shopping, dining, attending theaters or movies, and enjoying our other retail-related amenities. In order to maintain this environment, we request that all of our customers and guests refrain from the following:
