They need more stoes and resturants as well they need to make it accessible for all
A small community in Ontario. Quiet place. Great for traveling to in the summer for a day or two.
This mall needs to change. There is no reason for me to go there. There is only 2 restaurants in the food court and Sears is leaving.
Nice clean mall filled with friendly people. Not a fan of the music outside. Too loud and distracting mostly rock. I avoid this area but would be nice place to sit at picnic tables to eat lunch or play chess.
I love your older buildings with a modern edge, never 100% updated. It adds character with known history right there in town!
This mall is half empty consisting mostly of clothing stores and a fast food food court. Wifi is terrible. Layout is alright. Trafic such as it is moves very well. Parking garage is old and extremely creepy. Unless you need clothes or an ANW hamberger, skip the mall and enjoy the rest of downtown which actually has much more to offer than you might think.
Sorry excuse for a shopping centre. Quite ironic, actually. Used to be a bustling place back in the 80's and 90's. But that was then and this is now. Malls are not the center of our cultural sphere anymore. They're no longer new & shiny--or even relevant. Sears is going bye-bye soon, and I expect the few stores that remain will eventually follow suit. In any case, I do most of my shopping online, or I'll head to London & Windsor and make a day of it. Can't even find a decent pair of jeans around here anymore Nothing left in here but ghosts from the past. Empty, desolate, dark, and depressing. Like walking through a museum.
Great little mall, but the lack of stores is concerning. They need to draw in new business.
Nothing further needs to be said that others pretty much have already mentioned. This place is deader than a doornail. Very little stores left now. Pretty much all office space which is now occupied by Union Gas, and even they'll be gone once their lease is up. Sears (the mall's biggest anchor) will be closing for good in October, 2017. Only A&W and Subway remain in the Food Court upstairs, as the Shawarma and Wok place just closed up shop too at the end of February. Even Goodlife Fitness doesn't appear as busy as it used to be (and it's expensive anyway). No washrooms located downstairs, so you have to go all the way to the back of Sears to use a ridiculously small elevator if you're in a wheelchair or use a scooter in order to use the washroom. When Sears finally closes, how are people with limited mobility supposed to use the facilities up on the second level? Sears had the ONLY elevator in the entire mall. Nobody could answer me that. It appears that not much thought went into this place when it first opened for business in October of 1982 (to much fanfare), but the excitement soon died off. Even way back then, I wasn't all that impressed with the joint. It could be argued that the construction of this mall destroyed downtown Chatham, not to mention the recession of the early 90's hit the area hard and it never really recovered from the "glory days." Everything except the bars and restaurants pretty much close down after 6PM. King Street is essentially dead after that. I'll be surprised in this place sticks around much longer, or is simply converted into all office space, since it has failed miserably as a retail centre. Almost EVERY single store that tried to make a go of it here, failed. The term "Ghost Mall" is a fitting description for this facility, and as more and more brick and mortar stores go the way of the dinosaur over the next several years, I expect to see lots more of these once-bustling metropolises fall to the wayside and dotting the landscape. Even the once biggest mall in the USA; Randall Park Mall in Ohio, has been abandoned and left to the elements. To me, this is not only proof of how the face of retail has forever changed, it's also a powerful symbol of the economic decline facing the West, a classic example of what's happening to small cities and towns all over North America. In summary, don't waste your time here, folks. London or Windsor is where the action is, especially if you're searching for a specialty or hard-to-find item. You're not going to have much luck shopping in Chatham. In any case, I predict this place will become a mere hollow, empty shell of its former self, reduced to nothing more than a nostalgic memory of days gone by in the tumultuous years we face ahead. To the ash-bin of history it goes
There is barely any stores here u are better off with not wasting your time and take a 45mins to an hour drive to London or Windsor
