Merced Mall - Josh BLASTS OFF to Merced mall! - Shopping Centers Near Me - Merced, California

Not too many complaints, except one. It closes at 8 PM. I barely go out to places like malls before 8 PM. UC Merced is expanding and bringing many college students like me. Don't close down before we can get over there, you are losing out on a huge customer base. I would at least like it to close at 12 AM, but preferably like 2 AM. I would be there basically every weekend if these were the hours, instead we sometimes go to Target or something lmao, but even other places close early. read more

Very small mall. Only stores that interested us were JC Penny, Hot Topic and Foot Locker. The food court has only two options. The service at Hot Topic was good, staff was attentive and friendly. Prices were typical of any retail mall. read more

I came to Merced Mall on a Sunday with my coworker and her teenage daughter to do some shopping and plus I have not gone to Merced Mall before so my expectations was very very very low as my co worker informed me it's small. However this mall is pretty decent for Merced, they had name brand stores like JCP, Kohl's, food court, Tillys, Bath and Body works, my Fave Victoria Secret among other stores. I am a recovering shop-a-holic so I did not get anything this time. However this a decent spot to do some low key shopping on a Sunday as there was not a lot of kids or teens roaming the mall as in other Major Mall capitals like Fresno, LA and Santa Monica. I'm not sure if I'll be back but I had a positive experience here. I will cross this mall off my mall check list though Lastly, parking is a breeze compared to Fresno and LA malls read more

Positives: they've got your essentials - wide parking lot, food court, apparel stores, makeup stores, other stores, restrooms, even a barbershop. Negatives: it was quite dead here on a Friday afternoon, partially because it's such a small enclosed mall. There was a funky smell in the food court and restroom area...couldn't quite place what it was. read more

Super cool place to come and walk around and kill time. Merced mall might not have to many stores or really anything exciting, but they do have ice cream place, Mexican fruit place (mangonadas and more) pretzels and McDonald's and a bunch more -so if you're looking to just stroll indoors with a/c this is a cool place to take a little stroll -Oo almost for the mall has a sees candy! Yay Parking-super easy! -targets right in back -movie theater right next to the mall read more

Merced Mall - Shopping Centers Near Me - Merced, California

My first impression: This mall is very old, yet it is very clean inside. It's a small mall but it's a safe mall for parents with young kids. The security personnel do a good job making sure of the safety of the customers outside the parking lot and inside the mall. The stores salesmen and saleswomen are not very pushy here from our experience. Maybe it's our kids that keep them even tempered! Employees are always friendly and welcoming here. Baskin Robbins is always busy but they work fast. We come here for BR31 often during the hot days (which are a lot of days throughout the year here in Merced.) We've heard rumors that they, the city, has a long term project to refurnish this mall by building a second floor and attaching the movie theatre to it that is just down the other side of the parking lot. That movie theatre is also old and may need some minor enhancements as well. read more

Merced Mall - $1 movies! - Shopping Centers Near Me - Merced, California

It is a mall in Merced. I didn't expect much and didn't receive much. To tell you the truth, I don't care either. If you want a good mall go to a bigger town. Merced is country, with double negatives and crappy food being slung around like it's going out of style. What else would you expect? read more

It is not what I would call a mall. Maybe more like a strip mall. Not very many stores. The biggest ones are Jcpenny, sears and Khols. For being in Merced it is pretty good though and around the mall is target and a movie theater. I didn't grow up here but as teenager I might enjoy it more. I come to buy jewelry at Devons. Jcpenny has remodeled and they look great and have a great salon. So if you are from a big city don't expect what you think a mall should be. You will be disappointed. But for the area it is clean and a place to shop. read more

For such a tiny mall, they have a decent selection of stores. Want something more, head to Modesto or Fresno, right? I entered near the Chinese buffet restaurant, which is also the entrance to the food court. There seemed to be a lot of people just hanging out, and I didn't see much interesting in the way of food, unless McDonald's is your high end restaurant. I was surprised to see Tilly's and Zumiez, along with Sears and J C Penney, so they have some selection for teens, but it seems as though it would be more of a hangout than a place to shop. It could be worse. read more

First time visiting this mall. I came here with my partner last week because, like most people we were curious to see what stores were open and if they're was big crowds or not. I'm not from the area, I was visiting and wanted to check the mall out because of how different of a style it looked like. We get there and as soon as we walk in it was like LIBRARY quiet. There wasn't much people and most of the stores were closed. We went on a Tuesday in the late evening (about 2 hrs before closing) and from our perspective there was more people shopping at the jcpenny and kohl's than all the other smaller stores. From what I remember: Claire's, hot topic,zumies, cozy fox, a jewelry store, Aeropostale, and footlocker were all open but I left a little disappointed because the one store I wanted to shop at was bath and body works but I guess I can't complain too much. We ended up just shopping in the jcpenny since we already went to the kohl's a previous day, and found some pretty good deals. one thing to note and it's a pretty big one is that * JCPENNY'S FITTING ROOMS ARE OPEN * I didn't believe it at first but then I heard another customer ask and the employee said that they are indeed open. I'm giving 4 stars just because of how awkward and out dated the mall was. I have no complaints about any of the employees there or how most stores were closed, we just need to be patient. read more

I just don't like Merced or the mall. DRIVE TO TURLOCK PEOPLE!! Or event Atwater. Even thrift stores in Merced are better then the mall. Everyone In Merced wears the same clothes because of this mall. read more

This is the worst mall. Do not recommend going. I went into footlocker and asked for a shoe and the guy "forgot about me" and I sat there for 10 minutes waiting to try on a shoe that the guy forgot about... and a few days later I call them to see if they had a shoe in my size because it was out of stock when I went in and they forgot about me and when I called the lady said let me ask someone and in the back ground I heard someone say "just hang up" and a few seconds went by and they hung up on me. Worst customer service ever. read more

Been to this mall twice. The first time I went, I was turned off by the customer service at the pharmacy as well as the crowd (mostly teenagers) wreaking havoc. After being in the mall for 15 minutes, we decided to leave. There was nothing much to see or buy. It's old, worn-out, and very small. It will probably take you about 3 minutes to powerwalk from one end of the mall to the other. On my recent visit to Merced after a few years, I expected the mall to be better (remodeled and expanded), but it's still the same to me. I guess the city decided not to invest in it because of the major real estate downfall in the area. For a much better shopping mall experience, Vintage Faire Mall in Modesto is the way to go and the closest major mall within the vicinity. Fresno has a better shopping center as well but it is much farther than Modesto. read more

Very nice employees at this jcp location. Clean and updated store. Plus my sweet mom works here. read more

Merced Mall - Tired Lil tricker treater - Shopping Centers Near Me - Merced, California

This is by far the worst mall i've ever visited! It is honestly depressing. The selection of stores is very poor, the mall has an odor, and the service is terrible. Biggest downfall of having to go to school in Merced is this mall, which really shouldnt even be considered a mall, it's more of a strip! read more

Kool mall with an Ole Skool feel ya digg...This is a home town mall tho...If ya crave up to date / modern hit up a bigger city...

This may be a small mall, but they do have some major store like JCPENNEY, Sears, Kohl's, bath and body works, McDonald's, Panda Express, even an arcade (my kid's favorite part of the mall), a theater and Target is near by just a parking lot away. Speaking of parking lot, it's pretty easy to find parking spot. read more

The is an old building, with old styling, and it in need of an update. The stores here come and go with some regularlyity. The stores are modern, and have a wide variety of styles to suit most. read more

I was struggling to choose between 1 and 2 stars for this place. It ended up with 2 because I actually have bought some things here and 1 star is really reserved for the super horrible experiences. The mall is dingy, beat up, and doesn't really have many 'attractive' stores. If you're looking for cheap clothing, there are a few places to get that here. There's also a Victoria's Secret, tiny little lingerie boutique, Big 5 sports, Bath & Body, Aeropostale, and some shoe stores. The food court is also a 2-starrer. I've only eaten at Panda Express and the other places don't really look appetizing. It is really sad because you can see the effects of the economy when you walk through here. I went on a Saturday once and it was almost empty. read more

Good God! I shake my head with sadness that I'm even here, but I'm helping a friend track down some missing keys. There are some big anchor stores with a bunch of other shops sprinkled in between. The arcade near the food court looks like it hasn't been updated with new machines in years, I keep seeing the same ones time after time. One thing I don't really get is how Target ended up on the other side of the parking lot. They could have easily incorporated Target into the mall and the theater that sits at one end. During summer, it often gets so hot that going outside to go to the theater or to go to Target becomes more trouble than its worth. Badly designed and badly thought out. The mall has a very dated look, you can tell it was built back in the 70s. This place is adequate if you absolutely have to shop in Merced, but if you want to do some serious shopping you may want to go ahead and make a run up to Modesto. It's really worth the trip. read more

If I can give zero star, I will! I can't imagine anyone would like to shop here. There is nothing in this mall. In fact I can't believe this place even being called a mall! I have not been to a mall that has no Victoria's secret. I guess that tell me something! There is not even a Macy's. What kind of mall is this? I think this is the worst mall I have ever been to. This is old and not a single store that is worth looking. If I have to choose one maybe Bloom. It is kind of like a mini forever 21 but of course not as good. If the city of Merced wants to grow bigger. This is the first place that they need to remodel. For all the UC students, please make this mall like a MALL. We need to shop somewhere. read more

Having 3 department stores with little shops in between still doesn't qualify this as a mall. The mall as a whole has an odd scent and is dirty along with the questionable characters you may see walking around in there. The mall has a CVS for crying out loud, that is not a mall at least compared to what I am accustomed to. The Kohls is the only shop I would advise going to as it is clean and people actually help you. Aside from Kohl's there are no other spots to hit up while in the "mall". read more

Merced Mall - Shopping Centers Near Me - Merced, California

The staff at the foot locker in This Mall are not friendly and stare at you when you walk in when you try to ask one of them a question they walk off so they don't have to service you for a shoe or they don't know what you're talking about their uniforms are so sloppy they wear sweat pants and TickTock pants super urban read more

Please take Hot Cuts out of the food court. !! All those tiny hairs and skin cells probably go airborne. Its disgusting to think what a strong gust of wind could do. Ewwwww read more

Not sure how you can call this a mall. Should rename it Ghost-Town Mall. When I moved here in June 2018 it was already pretty bad and now we have lost a few stores, and the stores they started to build are still in a halt. All around the mall it boasts that they are remodeling and it will be here soon...YEA OK! I have seen nothing to that affect since I moved here and that was BEFORE Covid. It might have been a cute little mall at one time but now now, it's broken down, has a ton of closed stores, the Penny's is a joke the only bright spot would be the Kohl's which I can't believe wants to be associated with the mall. Oh well maybe one day like soon (probably not) it will get remodeled and look good again. I have a feeling this has to do with the people who run Merced who think there isn't enough money in Merced to bring new businesses or fix old businesses up. Shame on those people. make Merced great! Learn something from Turlock, same size yet they have tons of restaurants and shopping, where do you think people in Merced shop? TURLOCK! How do I know they tell me. read more

This review is for the Zumiez store inside the mall. Poor customer service! Rude and not helpful at all. Hire someone who knows how to handle customer service situations!! read more

it's your average mall for the town size, those people complaining about selection and kids are probb go to some mall in major metropolis area and what mall does not have kids? You have your anchor stores which are JCP, KOHLS AND SEARS. Target is next door. average food court for the the geography of this mall. if it really bothers this malls selection, enjoy the drive to sacramento mall read more

Damn what malls you guys usually go to?? Also the stores are always open when I go like every week lying ass it's pretty good it has really good stores for teenagers so if you have a kid bring them suck as Tilly's, hot topic, zumies and some others also it's just small that's all I think it's perfectly fine. Also has things for middle aged/old people stores but I don't go inside so idk about those there actually incredibly nice so it's just a regular home town mall. :) read more

12/15/17: Unfortunately I couldn't find the Zumiez from the Merced mall on the yelp serch, so I'll just write my comment here. Dacian(might be spelled wrong, lol sorry) from zumiez was extremely helpful! I was shopping for my nephews and had no idea what to look for. He made sure to go out of his way to help me find something for each of their individual needs without even knowing them! He was very patient even when my daughter was whining to leave. So thank you for your hard work! read more

Horrible horrible place to shop with your dog they are not dog friendly even if you have an emotional support dog was escorted out by security most embarrassing thing they probably don't even do that with shoplifters will not be doing any of my Christmas shopping at Merced mall any more not even for last minute gift ideas I rather go somewhere else not dog friendly I repeat not read more

The Merced Mall is small, the food selection sucks, at the food court a bunch of teenagers hang out, some of them are loud, rude, disrespectful, some teenagers go around asking other costumers for money, I heard some teenage boys say really nasty things to young girls like ' can I tap that ass' ' and other rude things, security is never around, the mall feels like a daycare where parents can drop of their kids and let them run wild, especially on the weekend.I wish we had a Macy, forever 21 and old navy. read more

This mall is declining at a very fast rate, it used to house some well known stores like Anchor Blue and Big 5, but today just about every other boutique space is available for rent. The only businesses that seem to still survive here are overpriced jewelry stores, cell phone shops, and fast food restaurants. read more

If you have a choice and life dose not bring you here,Please go elsewhere and Shop. Life brought me here by accident. Seriously!!! I rate this a 5 stars because of NY Company and Kohls. Floors were clean. Ambiance was serene. Not a lot of people like Stevens Creek or Roseville Galleries or even Modesto Vintage. My emergency was I need to buy flip flops while in Merced. So I came in Here. Found them,I'm out,Not planning on coming back,lol read more

For somebody wjonhates large crowds I love this small mall. My favorite stores are here. Its always clean and drama free. Staff have always been polite, accomdating, and helpful. Its sad to see so many stored closed and hope they add something new soon! read more

Can these people spend some money on paving the parking lot, especially the one on M street. If you want people to shop, make look nice and not risk damaging your car read more

It's pretty dead here. The city name says it all...."Merdead". Can't expect much in a city that is rated the worst to live in.

I wouldn't actually call this place a mall. It's more of a wide long azz hallway. I come from San Jose, CA so it's nothing compared to what I'm use to. read more

OMG this mall stinks! and I mean it does stink, lol. This mall reminds me of Salinas Mall, Ghetto!. Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body works are the only stores that caught my eye. Its an old mall and doesn't have much. I think its funny that there is a Longs Drugs in it. Anyways I'm never coming back to this mall! read more
