As a hub for commerce, fun, and even post-game celebrations, downtown Auburn remains one of the biggest attractions the town has to offer. Unfortunately, this means that competition grows higher and higher for precious parking spaces, which can cost a pretty penny. Well, parking services—and the businesses downtown—have heard the critiques of locals. To help combat the problem, select stores are now offering parking validation in downtown Auburn.
Parking Validation Terms
Whenever you park your car at relevant, numbered space—and then make a purchase at one of the businesses offering this deal—you’re eligible to receive parking validation. Just don’t forget to bring the business your parking receipt. The kiosk will most likely ask you if you would like a copy of your purchase, so make sure that you say yes.
Next, you have to double-check that the business you’re visiting offers parking validation in downtown Auburn. A few include: Tacorita, Ellie Clothing, Mellow Mushroom, Frutta Bowls, University Donut Company, and Ware Jewelers. You can find the full list here. Upon making your purchase, present them with your parking receipt and ask for their validation offer. Then, you should be good to go!
Valet Parking
Looking for an alternative? Every Thursday and Friday, you can take advantage of valet services, making it simpler to park during peak times. Services will last for 11 a.m. until 3 p.m., only to resume from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. As for Saturdays, valet parking is available from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. During the time valet services are offered, they’re free after 6 p.m. The exception?
