If you live in or near a city that has a "arcaden" mall, then you're basically forced to go there…read more Why? Because these huge places just kill the local mom&pop stores by relocating the main shopping mile indoors, with AC & WiFi. Sure, larger cities can survive the process of having their many shopping mile relocated, but smaller ones? Not really.
The assortment of stores is pretty much the same in every location, they have their mix of brands & food chains without anything really appealing.
Good if you're a fan of malls, bad if you like choice or local flavour.
On a plus side, they just made the place dog friendly, by adding water & food bowls in the basement - which i've never seen with food or water in them. Way to go!
