Global Mall - Department Stores Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Much like Infinity 99 Cent, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to rate this place! Do I give it 5 stars for how awesome the experience was, or do I give it 1 star for how bad some of this stuff was? How about 3 stars. I was going to Old Time Pottery, and the Global Mall caught my eye. And I am definitely an adventurer, so I just had to go in. Once I was in, I felt like I was in another country. This place was very similar to all the little markets I used to go to in India. Here's what you can find: * Somali clothes * Kitschy gifts * Imported ceramics * Electronics * Grocery store * Restaurant * And more! You should totally go to the Global Mall. But I would recommend taking a friend for moral support. read more

This is a Somali shoping mall, which probably explains why it hasn't been reviewed so far. Not that Yelpers are racist or anything but they're not likely to be exploring stores in the north end of town. I stopped here because it's right next to Old Time Pottery. I've been here before but the last time was long ago. This place is a little amazing. They've got a ton of stores in here, each one individually owned. There are clothing stores (both American and Somalian), grocery stores (I bought a bag of onions), jewelry stores, and even computer stores and a computer gallery where you can use wifi to log on to the internet. Neat place. read more

I spent 4 days doing construction work at the Global Mall. I thought it was cool overall. The merchants were helpful and friendly. It was like working at a National Geographic photo shoot. Everyone was dressed it their native Semolina /Islamic clothing. The merchants and clientele carried themselves with dignity and respect. While your there it truly feels and looks like a foreign country and culture yet your right smack dab in the middle of Columbus. If you want a educational experience or you would like to experience a different culture, here you go. You can be in a Somolian shop one second looking at middle eastern/African wears one second and the walk out in the parking lot and step into a Arby's or a Family Dollar. I defiantly will return. read more

Global Mall - Department Stores Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

See all

It's been some time that I've had a chance to go back to Global Mall, but its worth me taking the time to give it the positive reviews it deserves. It is such a nice mall but it is definitely underrated. Even though it is a predominately Somalian owned businesses in the Mall it is very services to the African Community and the local community alike. Great to see a 'African' mall so conveniently located in a main stream shopping mall area. Very clean and professional environment. read more

I actually have bought Somali outfits, perfume and jewelry here. There's a cafe inside where you can get the sweet spiced Somali tea and snacks. As others have said the stores/stalls inside are individually owned so you never know what you are going to get. If you think the prices are too high its okay to negotiate. I recommend bringing a friend who speaks Somali/Italian or Arabic to help translate for you. Another cool thing is that the jewelry store sells 21 and 22 karat gold, so it's really special and the styles they sell aren't very common in Columbus. read more

I love this store. The prices are amazing, the gowns are to die for. I am a professional psychic medium and during the halloween season I do many seances. All of my gowns for the seances which are truly special events I get at this mall. The compliments are endless on how beautiful the gowns are and very reasonably priced. I also got the most beautiful drapes for my office for an unbelievable price, my mother is a seamstress and said I wouldn't even be able to buy the fabric for what a paid for the drapes. Will for sure be a regular! read more

Hi had an amazing experience at this Somali store... being from India I was amazed to see the beautiful Indian clothing they also had to offer. A Somali co-worker of mine actually had recommended me this place since I was in search for an iptv box, and then I ended up checking out this store, and it was exactly what I was searching for. yay!!! they have a beautiful Indian jewelry. And I also spoiled my bf's mom and bought her a Allah wall art as well as a praying mat that she really needed. But while I was trying to purchase the Allah wall art the Somali lady was not very friendly and so I ended up going to a different part of the store to purchase the Allah wall art. But overall I am happy with this store and my soon to be mother in law was super happy as well since she just moved in with us from Morocco. It was natural for her to converse with the some of the Arabic speaking Somali's. :) read more

I think the owners were friendly, specially the young ones if you start asking them something, the price or where the items are imported from. in that case I did not wanted a friend for moral support for shopping read more

Global Mall is the only store I know if that carries islamic clothing for men, women, and children in Columbus/Cincinnati areas. There are alot of little shops with a variety of styles and colors for women. My husband likes two piece sets and those were few and far between. But overall its nice to have a store to buy clothing whether than having to buy on-line. Majority of the stores are cash only. read more
