This is an alright mall. It satisfies my needs. It was a good mall when I first moved to the valley around 10 years ago, but all of the old stores have gone out of business, and these tacky new boutiques have been ushered in. The quality of the shops have declined a lot since then. There are only a few decent stores left.
The mall is also riddled with very pushy, small kiosk sellers who hound you as you walk through minding your own business. Granted, these are in every mall, but I feel that other mall's kiosks aren't this bad. I have managed to master the art of ignoring these sellers.
The food court is sub-par as well now. A lot of the well-known fast food places have gone out of business, and a lot of my favorite fast food places there have gone away and have been replaced with mediocre food options.
The inside of the mall looks outdated and the entire place is in major need of re-vamping. This mall pales in comparison to Scottsdale Fashion Square.
