Dear Concord Mills Mall. You get ONE STAR for getting me last season's $100 Adidas trail running shoes for $40. And I guess that ONE STAR can also count for having an AMC attached so it's easier to talk my friend into going to the movies.
Now, for why it deserves only one star. It smells funny, the floors are carpeted (and you feel like you're in the early 90's... ewwww), the stores are subpar and the consumer demographic for this mall is awful. Lots of strollers and screaming children, no "Under 18" rules like they have at Northlake and South Park, and so many stores that are filled with clearance crap or ridiculous sizing (like I barely could find any size S or M in athletic stores like Nike and Adidas... c'mon! I'm one of the most common sizes for fit folks!).
I'm HORRIFIED to hear that this place is where tourists come when visiting NC/Charlotte. I mean, sure, Charlotte doesn't have much to offer (unless you love corporate architecture and NASCAR) but reeeally? A mall. This mall?
This helps me avoid Concord, that's for sure.
