Haters gonna hate!!! Yeah it's dated and doesn't have a lot of stores, but it also doesn't have all the traffic that Concord Mills does despite sharing a parking lot/road with CMC Northeast. You can pull up, find a spot and be in and out before you could even turn into Concord Mills' parking lot. I seriously love this little mall! I wouldn't even call it a mall really... It's more like a plaza of connected stores. It's always an enjoyable shopping experience because of that. It has the only JCPenney and Sears near the Concord/Charlotte area unless you want to make the trek to Pineville. I typically forget about Belk as I did not grow up in the south, but I recently shopped there on Father's Day weekend and they had some serious sales. Definitely worth giving this mall an afternoon of your time. The food court has been updated there is an El Vallarta inside.
