Slime Co. is bringing its build-your-own slime bar to Chandler Fashion Center, opening upstairs near Scheels. The shop adds the company’s mix-your-own concept, with a range of scents, colors and toppings, to the Valley.
WhatNow reports that the Chandler shop is at 3111 W Chandler Blvd. Its reported hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
The process is hands-on: guests choose a slime base and personalize it with more than 50 scents, a range of colors and over 100 toppings, according to WhatNow. Options include glitter, charms and crunchy add-ins; guests can name and label their finished slime to take home.
A Hands-On Activity for All Ages
The activity is intended for ages three and older, WhatNow reports, making the shop an option for visitors seeking a tactile, participatory experience.
Parties and Another Valley Store
The Chandler shop also hosts private celebrations. WhatNow reports that its all-inclusive parties are designed to be mess-free and can accommodate small birthday groups or gatherings of 22 to 25 guests; larger events can book a whole-store buyout.
A Simon Property Group directory also lists a Slime Co. location at Fashion Centre at Pentagon City in Arlington, Virginia.
Sensory Play and Chandler’s Local Context
For a broader child-development perspective, NAEYC’s book collection includes guidance on supporting infants’ and toddlers’ active exploration through sensory activities and unique materials. That guidance offers context for the tactile format described here.
The East Valley Tribune reported in 2019 that Chandler Fashion Center opened in 2001 and that nearby tracts have since filled in with offices, apartments, hotels and retail. That account provides a timeline for the mall’s surrounding development, but does not specify the center’s original intended role in Chandler’s growth.
