The commercial center's largest tenant is a 99 Ranch Supermarket, and the rest of the mall is flanked by shops, restaurants, boutiques, and services such as tax and beauty, owned and operated by Asians, particularly Taiwanese, Japanese, Filipino, and Korean. There are also fast food restaurants and Starbucks. The Asian Pearl Seafood Restaurant is popular amongst family diners.
The mall is located along Pierce Street a frontage road that runs parallel to Interstate 80/580. The closest entrance and arterial is Central Avenue that connects the mall with San Pablo Avenue. There is also public transit access with AC Transit route 25.

Cerrito Creek
Cerrito Creek lies adjacent to Pacific East Mall and runs through a portion of the parking lot. The president of Friends of Five Creeks, a local environmental organization, has criticized the mall management for allegedly allowing herbicide to spread into the creek area, mowing areas containing native plants, and failing to establish a remediation plan.
