This mall is trying to make a come back. But the theater is one of the best. Their new theater recliners are great. Makes you feel more comfortable like being in your own comfy chair.
The mall is really picking up and I actually enjoy going again.. EDIT progress has totally stopped for the mall itself. Via entertainment and Santa Claus is the only reason to even bother with it now. Give it to the Entertainment center and just make it a totally new type of indoor entertainment center.
Limited choices of shopping. Hopefully new owner brings new stores. Movie theater and bowling center are amazing.. Great place to walk
My daughter and I went to the bowling ally towards the back of the mall. Its a really nice place and the staff is nice. You’re very limited when it comes to parties you book there but the servers try so hard to accommodate what you meed and they are always super friendly. The arcade is worth the trip for me. The games are new and up to date and the play area is clean. It’s a lot of fun. I’m hoping to go back with more family.
This is a well kept for an older shopping mall. Nicely decorated with Christmas theme and all of the shops easy to get in and out. This is a large mall with many entrances that make access easy to your store. The parking lot is huge with plenty of parking. Overall great place to shop.
Other than bath and body works and petsmart ..I have no reason to go..
Could be a nice mall if they could secure good stores..
Esp..clothing and shoe stores for women between 30 and 50
It's a nice mall but like most "malls" there isn't much left. Many closed places. The pizza place in the mall is a rip off IMO. 3 slices and 3 drinks for $16! We went there to find a Halloween costume and die to the time of day decided to get a quick lunch bite. Our choice was Tacos, some sort of Chinese and pizzawe habe a 2 & 4 yr old, the other 2 options weren't an option. I would not recommend the pizza place!
Not much offerings in terms of fashion unless your style is the likes of Belk's and JC Penny, it is still a good mall for a diversion in these quiet parts. It has a reasonably priced movie theater which has recently been renovated. It is clean and safe. It also has Books a Million, Sears, and Bath and Body Works. The mall also has a very unique store with imports from Turkey. All and all, a trip to this mall would be a fun couple of hours depending on your fashion sense and proclivity to browse.
The new owners of this mall are trying to revitalize it and they may succeed, though so far it is still pretty quiet when I go there. If they succeed in the end it will probably be because they are attracting a youngish crowd, I imagine. They have bowling there and an arcade and upgraded seating for movies, so progress is ongoing.
As it is, I never hear myself saying "Let's go to the Mall," but we go to the Pet Smart that is there and once in a while the separate Ichiban Buffet, so we cruise the mall while there sometimes. And in the summer we might find ourselves mall walking in the cooler temps, so I am hoping for the best. Who would have thought that malls, which contributed to the erosion of downtown shopping, would in turn be threatened themselves?
Finally tried this place ever since they were bought out and changed. I still like going into Books-A-Million. I walked the entire mall and it seemed lonely. I shopped in one store with cheaper clothing and then I found this really big COOL Shoe Store, which I would definitely go back there again! I found some great shoes at a decent price, only a few dollars more than what I would have found on a clearance rack at Bealls. ME HAPPY and glad I visited the shoe store and books-a-million. :)
A huge portion of this shopping mall has become less about the spending experience and more about the Fun! You can come here and enjoy movies or a great time Skating or bowling
Small mall, manly just go to visit book store. Lot of inside stores are always changing. Main stores stay the same though. Never very busy it seems when I am there in my opinion.
Not many stores a lot of shoe stores tho mall needs a lot of help. Movie theater is new and nice. Ichiban is located in the parking lot. Great food!
The Via Port Entertainment center has definitely improved the place! Full bar/restaurant, awesome arcade and bowling! Great place for the whole family. The food court needs some improvement and there are lots of empty stores but from what I can tell, they plan on expanding!
Absolutely love what they're doing with this mall! New shops coming in, clean, a play area in the food court for the little ones to play in within view of parents.
And the arcade is awesome, as well. Full bowling alley, lots of arcade games, full bar and snacks. Really reasonably priced, especially for groups and younger children.
I would definitely recommend taking a walk through and see for yourself how nice this place has become.
