Their little pavilion area was PACKED with families, music bumping, and overall a nice time. A lot of the businesses here sort of "Control C + Control V" from other areas of town, mainly the one I live in, Brookside. Red Door, Plate, Shake Shack, Aixois, Rally House, etc. It's part of our city's (IMO) disappointing sprawl, but it is what it is. They also turn the pavilion area into an ice rink in the winter, and there are some good spots to eat in here as well. Not a place I'd regularly seek out living far away, but nice to have and I like how they set up things for families each weekend in the summer.

It has some stores you'd expect- Starbucks, CVS, Price Chopper- but then there are different, unexpected shops like Duck Donuts & 2 specialty shoe stores- SAS and The Foot Spot.

There's also Salon Mission that offers hair and massage services, Dewey's pizza restaurant, and the wonderful Glenwood movie theater, among others. I've written separate reviews for many of these places. Parking can be tricky and annoying, but what parking lot isn't?!

You're nose is frozen on your face during the winter. In the summer it's so damn hot you melt onto their hard, metal benches if your lucky enough to find one of the few benches without interlopers. This concept might work in upstate New York. This is Missouri. It's either 95 degrees or 30. That pleasant food court smell doesn't waft up through the doorway to great you. Instead you're greeted with the odor of spent petroleum. This summer you will be dodging the angry wasps that guard each planter. Faux elegance at it's best. The stores are mostly smaller versions of what you would find at Oak Park or Independence center. This place is a decent stop off to kill some time but if you really want shopping you need to go to the larger stores at other locations. There is one bright spot, Macy's. Why? This store is genius. In this unassuming store they have placed a Starbucks, an oasis for men waiting for their wives while they finish shopping. The mere act of selecting flip flops can take a woman over two hours -this is a fact. For the first time in my life I sat down and enjoyed an anchor store comfortably without pressuring my wife to go. This alone gives the entire area a bump to three stars. Of course, its small enough my wife can't find what she's looking for and we end up driving over to Oak Park anyway.

This is one of these brand new fancy futuristic space-age shopping malls that I really hate - which are completely full of all of your very expensive brand name shops including a few local things as well.

You can browse the store full of great KC-made finds, then settle into the café to relax and enjoy the vibe. The café offers a small but solid selection of bakery items, plus a full coffee and cocktail bar. There's plenty of seating, making it a great spot to sit, chat, and linger a while. One of my favorite perks? This location has Ludo's West Shuffleboard, which makes it even more fun and unique. And the location can't be beat--it's right across the street from Lenexa Public Market, so you can easily make an afternoon of it. Whether you're meeting friends, grabbing a drink, or just soaking in some local flavor, this spot is a win. Highly recommend! BONUS: I've found the best way to experience Made in KC is as a VIP ... for $28 monthly, you get two free drinks (coffee or cocktails) and a monthly gift from the market of at least $35 (sometimes more). If you don't want the preselected item, you can swap for a t-shirt or store credit. Still haven't signed up to be a Made in KC VIP? What are you even waiting for?! February delivered two drinks and a 16-piece box of Christopher Elbow chocolates. That's a $73 value for $28. This perk math is chef's kiss!

This place features a great deal of stores and an immense amount of parking as well. On slow days you can actually drive into one of the parking spaces near the mall and actually walk up that door store you want to go to. This place featured a wide variety of stores though it leans towards a bit of upscale. Most of these stores too are also occupied as well not many vacancies. Some of the stores are hidden like the Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Some stores stood out, most weren't too interesting but it's worth checking out or if you need a place to get your steps in too!

As with other malls in the metro, this was a mall that was wheezing and hacking it's way to the morgue but suddenly, to the credit of the developers here, it changed. A combination of a well placed Target, a plush movie theater remodel with reclining leather seats, and then the coup de gras, a Trader Joe's has made this place relevant. I will say the east side of the mall parking lot is nightmare fuel. It's too condensed and the whole lot lacks any real flow. Tread cautiously. The west side of the mall is more my jam as you can pop into Gary Gribble's Running Store, Starbucks, and a handful of other good spots with relative ease. It still has that weird, echoey mall vibe when you're in the heart of it, but it's not quite as massive as some other malls that are now memories.
