Since then, however, they have lost Von Maur, Spencers, Osco, Regis, KB Toys, B Dalton Booksellers, Dave & Barry's, Country Buffet, Sam Goody, Maurices, Brass Buckle, Maid-Rite and a number of local deli's, sports memorabilia & craft shops. All that is left is the library, Pretzelmaker, Eddie Bauer, Younkers, JC Penney, Bath & Body Works & city offices that were flooded out of downtown. I don't know if the rent is "too damn high" or what but this a terrible mall. The top floor is almost abandoned, except for mall walkers.

The only thing that kept this mall alive is that the floods came through in 2008, and city and county government had nowhere to go, but to a surprisingly empty, dead mall out on the edge of town. This place is so dead and lame that there is even a website dedicated to tearing it down http://teardownwestdale.com/ Here is a link to the entry for this so called 'shopping mall' on Deadmalls http://deadmalls.com/malls/westdale_mall.html Every time I walk through, I'm one of the few people inside, it's kinda spooky, like something out of a Romero movie. Uuuuuugggghhhh Brrraaaaiiiinnnnnsssss! Sadly, this place is empty, you wont even find zombies. I have no idea why Yonkers and Chick-Fil-A haven't pulled out. I'd imagine the Chicken shop doesn't leave, because it feeds the city employees who don't want to leave on their lunch breaks. Oh, and another thing, the entire area around this mall is going gonzo nuts with business and new stores and restaurants. This mall should be a dream location. Instead it just sits and rots alive, like a hobo chained to the inside of a boxcar at the end of a long forgotten rail siding. Something strange is going on with this place. Makes me wonder what kind of property management company is running it. There is absolutely no reason this mall should be in such an awful state. Once the go-to spot in CR, now it is a shadow of it's former self.

4/5 for my grocery pick-up experience…read more My order was ready when promised and I checked in via the app when I arrived at the store. In less than 10 minutes Assistant Manager Mike came out to my car with my order, informed me of the item they couldn't fulfill, loaded my trunk with my groceries, and I was on my way. Mike was super friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy what he was doing. I didn't give the overall experience a full 5-stars because I don't particularly care for where they have the grocery pick-up located in the parking lot. Would come back again (for grocery pick-up only).

Training day was going on while I was there; a new cashier was being reprimanded by the person training her. I felt bad because it was an embarrassing situation for her. I highly doubt that employee is still working there. I grabbed what I needed and left. Nice parking lot, but stick to Edgewood Rd. or 16th Ave. if you're shopping on the NW or SW sides of CR.

A crew of 4 outstanding young strong professionals came out, put all our stuff in their truck, took it into town, unloaded it all to our 3rd story apartment without a negativity work said.

I contacted Diane and asked if she could accommodate me for an October 4th wedding. She thoroughly checked her calendar and made 100% sure that she could fit me in. She took me on as her last client until the following month. When I went to Diane's home, she had a private area for me to get into my dress and she swiftly pinned me up and explained everything that she would be doing to the dress. She told me to call her on a specific date to check on the progress of my dress and said she would call if their were any issues. She actually ended up calling me as soon as the dress was done and I headed out that week to pick it up. The dress was perfect. The length was spot on and the straps never slipped off my shoulders or showed my undergarments. She did GREAT! Diane has been in the game for YEARS and was actually my family seamstress growing up. (I'm now 33) She KNOWS her stuff! If you are looking to get something altered, give her a call first!!

Sales were in full swing on most items due to the holiday season, other items not on sale and totally overpriced. I did pick up several clothing items with obvious defects; snags in sweaters, etc. Maybe just obvious to me, but disappointing given the price points on the merchandise. I had to try everything on because COVID. I'm glad I did because I left with 3 different pairs of pants in 3 different sizes. I'm short, but not really petite, so I checked out their petites department. Very picked over, but I had better luck online searching for those items. In general I thought the store was very light on new inventory and normal-heavy in the off season merchandise in the clearance areas. My husband said most of the men's department consisted of Big & Tall sizes, so he had no luck at all. Recommend checking out Penney's. Has a Kohl's feel, but a little more upscale than that. Disappointed in the lack of new inventory, though. Customer service was pretty lackluster, too.

My husband and i have installed similar items throughout our own house BY OURSELVES. I am under no delusion that i am physically as strong as most men, but if a job needs doing, ill be damned if i wont find a way to get it done. I apologize for ranting, but i have been absolutely fuming about this for a day and a half now. Great selection of window coverings!

They have it. Habash brand spices? Tons. Halal butcher shop? Yep. Cadbury buttons, flakes, dairy milk, and milka? Yes. Tea? Of course. But following the Billy Mays mantra, "but wait! There's more!" There's a grill where you can get a massive shawarma or a decadent Dubai chocolate that runs a risk of instant diabetes. It's worth the risk. AND then the there's the baklava vault, which also has babousa and other desserts. The baklava is a must and there is a variety of it. Lastly the folks working there are super friendly and obliging. Shopping here is basically a small international trip and the mix is something special. Ironically a place like this is what makes America great.
