I live much closer to this mall than I do to Scottsdale fashion square but I have visited Scottsdale fashion square a dozen times. And this mall zero. Until this past weekend when I visited this mall for the first time- and now I see why I never come here. I just wanted to go to the T-Mobile store and JC Penny to use a $10 coupon they sent me. And I didn't feel like dealing with Scottsdale fashion square. So this mall is fine if you want to make a few stops and not deal with crowds. We were there on a Sunday afternoon and the place was basically empty. Scottsdale fashion square would have been mobbed. The mall is outdated and dark. The food court is sad. The clientele reflected the dismal vibes. There were a lot of empty retail spaces and many of the stores in this mall were cheap gift shops. There were a few good stores like Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body Works. I would definitely drive a bit further to another mall- this one is dying.
