But, the stores that are left, and the food spots that are left are doing their best. The workers at all of them were helpful and polite. We found some decent sales and the food was affordable. But, there's not much selection for restaurants. And there's plenty of missing amenities. Basically it's dying like every other mall in America.

There are still some nice shops here even though there are no real anchor stores, except maybe Dicks Sporting goods. I like Lost Worlds, Dumb Records, and some nice clothing stores. I wish some other stores could be coaxed in. Maybe they could try things they did in the past, such an antique shows, fashion shows for fall and spring, and the holidays. Years ago, they had first responders and police departments displaying vehicles and doing fingerprinting for children. A Costco would be nice or a furniture store. Update. Went to the mall today and saw the Christmas trees. It was very well done, I hope for more people to participate next year!! Maybe they could contact a train group and have them set up a christmas train. Or the mall could utilize the empty store fronts and put in some decorations in the windows. Some additional photo opportunities would also be nice. Gingerbread cookies would be a hit as would live christmas music or swing choirs. Contact schools and churches. Thank you for having the MOCR there.

Hardly any stores are open anymore and forget about the food court.

I keep getting spam emails from Ulta Beauty even though I don't care for their products, the only thing I bought was a tiny tube of skin cream (which was $13 by the way). The arcade does not work at all, you can't get tokens or play most of the machines, and some of the claw machines they have in there are notoriously rigged. I was looking forward to getting an acupuncture treatment but I go in and see there's no needles, only hands being used, so I skipped out on that one. Some of the men's urban fashion stores looked interesting but I wandered in a store and saw the price tags on the jeans and recoiled, it's supposed to look like hoodrat clothing why does it cost $200+????? However, there was no one manning the front desk or looking over the store, so I was able to leave inconspicuously. I wish I could have gone to Von Maur, because I like some old lady clothes, but it was closed for Christmas Eve, which is understandable.

Basically this is an okay mall in Champaign. It gets many college students hanging around it…read more Market Place isn't a fancy place. Has the basic mall stores like Dick's and Macy's. There's also a food court with the basic bland food choices you typically find in a mall like this. A lot of parking is available. It may be the best thing you can say about it. The best thing actually inside the mall is it's not crowded, which also can be a bad thing. For sure it's not cool like the Chicago malls, but this does it for around here. There's anchor stores plus a few others like Old Navy and the usual. Has a pretty big food court. The food there mostly sucks but there's lots to choose from including Chinese and Mexican. Good place to go shop and walk around in. It has a children's area including a carousel so it has something to entertain them. The mall isn't that good but for around here it's about the only mall so whatever.

While Lazy Daisy was good, there is not much more at the mall that interested me. While waited for our table at Lazy Daisy, we walked around the shopping center.

Still, there must be some stores worth checking out because the parking lot was nearly full.
