I wanted to browse a different location mall. Plenty of stores of interest. Jc penny, Dillards, Lane Bryant, food court Bath and Body. Joes record store. Prices range from low to high. Staff in stores were friendly. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

See all

South County Mall is doing its best to remain open and offer a wide variety of shopping options. Despite what seems like the demise of proper malls, SC has made some changes, a lot of stores have closed and it looks a bit bleak ( especially in the morning when the mall walkers are there, but there are some interesting new businesses and even though there are only five restaurants in the food court, samples tell me that there will be some individual reviews on all of them by yours truly. Service in all the visited stores was very good, and associates remain positive about the mall's fate. Still a proper selection of items from the stores that are still there and from the more recent stores. As far as value, you still have to shop - cuz that's why you went - so my advice is to treat yourself to what might be one of the last "indoor malls" you may ever see. Good luck to South County Mall! read more

South county center looks like a ghost town. There are a few stores but the mall is quiet and not busy. I'm curious how they are keeping their businesses afloat. The food court only has 4 food options. The mall itself is clean and plenty of parking outside. read more

South County Mall is still hanging in there. The whole upper floor has been closed off. JC Penney and Dillards are still present along with some of the bigger chain mall stores like Bath & Body, Rue 21, Victoria Secret , etc. Food Court seemed to be getting walk in business. Two new stores added in the last couple weeks. Both clothing stores. I hope they make it and recover as this mall used to be my favorite in the St Louis area. read more

People here are nice but the amount of stores that have closed down is so sad. Not many store selection here. I will go to south county for convenience but if I need something I prefer west county. Probably a little bit cheaper than west county though bc of the area. The mall is always clean though. read more

Good customer service. Great place too walk. Now the economy getting better more stores need to return here.

Wow this place brought back memories when I went here last week. This mall has somewhat about 60- 70 percent stores occupied. There are some empty storefronts. I recall in the past about ten years ago, it was at least 95 percent occupied. My boyfriend and I came here last weekend and it was not busy at all. Our main goal was to go to Macy. The staff here were nice. read more

I wonder why this place doesn't get much recognition. It's a superb place to shop at-it's a tie between west county and south county. There are so many cute stores to shop at and the clothes there are so stylish. Huge variety of merchandise between shops as well. Place is huge-it depends on what you call huge. I think this place is huge. There's also a big place for kids to play so that's also cool. Service is decent, same thing goes with prices. Nothing too special. Watch out for the bathrooms but other than that, have fun shopping here. It's a quality mall. read more

Seriously, the last place I want to be the day before Christmas Eve is a mall. I wanted to stop by there to visit briefly with a dear friend that works there. I was happy to see a full parking lot and lots of shoppers. A lot of stores have vacated, but it was good to see the ones that are still there doing brisk holiday business. I do hope this mall is able to survive and remain open. read more

This place is getting old... Almost as old as me. 40 years ago... I remember back in the 80s thinking this was the city and the future. (Yes my high school friend... that was 40 years ago) Now- I feel like this is a time-warp. Record store T-shirts kiosk $2.99 sign Juice kiosk Macy's J.C. Penny Thanks for the memories read more

Entire upper level is closed now but for 1 store. Lower level seems to starting to lose stores. ground level is maybe 40 percent full. It's a dying mall but they are still fighting. Food court is i think 4 options? alot of the kiosks in the walkway have started to leave. its not a bad place, but its small and actively dying so you can't expect too much. read more

Just went in to shop around left 15 min later... theres really nothing left and no reason to waste your time coming here to shop.

Tried to end our mall excursion on the upper level of Dillard's, near where we parked. Looked like the upper level was blocked off, but proceeded down "no stores'land thinking we could take the escalator down to Dillard's first floor. But no, the escalator was not running down to the first side. We had to double back to get to the elevator and walk the length again to get through Dillard's. You may think we're bellyaching about this and wishing we had a warning but you try being a 66 year old with bad knees. Thanks a lot, mall gods! read more

It's a wonderful place to explore the environment as we look around and see the cool stuff that each store sells for good prices. I always receive good service as a customer in certain stores such as Bath & Body Works, Claire's, and a lot of other stores that I could go inside to look around for good deals. I even receive good customer service from the folks who work at different restaurants at the food court when they give us some food/drink samples like when I went there yesterday with my aunt. I also love the good discount deals that some of the stores have during the holidays. South County Center is my go-to mall in St. Louis to look around and get a few new things occasionally. read more

I really wish they would revamp the South County mall. The potential is there but one side of the mall is more like a ghost town. When I visit South County mall I usually know exactly what I'm looking for prior to my arrival. So I visit for specifics vs walking around waiting for items to find me. My fav stores are Express and Finish Line in this mall read more

Being understaffed doesn't help. The bathroom cleanliness is great not excellent. The tables and areas for clean is taken care of nicely at the food court. The music is what is keeping this mall together during holidays. The business stalls don't seem to be energetic and slightly draining when walking past. The store is lively. Don't see a lot of security presence. But is very family friendly off of the highway. read more

I only went for a quick trip and while the stores I went to were well maintained, the mall itself was not. The bathrooms were DISGUSTING, the floors were filthy, and I'm pretty sure I used hand sanitizer every few minutes. It was a Monday afternoon, the mall was not busy, and there was absolutely no reason it should have been this filthy. read more

It's so gross and unsanitary. The bathrooms are nasty, the little carts for kids are too, and worst of all, the gross floors. The mall barely has any good stores with any good stuff. Definetly not coming back. read more

I'd never been to South County mall until a few weeks ago. Malls in general are struggling. Even the Galleria and West County center have empty slots. Things have just accelerated at South County. It has a couple retailers that are going strong (Macy's and JC Penny's) but overall it is in decline. read more

Here's a directory of stores as well as a map showing the layout. http://www.shopsouthcountycenter.com/shop/southcounty.nsf/directory You'll need this...or at least I know I do. I get horribly turned around in this place. Admittedly I'm really directionally challenged. However I've been here 4 times now, and I still turn down dead end corridors. I think it's an awkward layout. Ugh! Outside of my navigation problems, I also think it could use a thorough cleaning. It has some custodial issues in the common areas. It's not horrible, but I noticed dirt and small trash first thing upon opening. I debated upon a 2 or 3 star rating. I bumped it up, because I'm okay to go back. However, I wish the property managers would give it some TLC...then I would love to go back. The mall is adequate. read more

I moved into my house before this mall was built, I have seen all of its various transformations and watched it withstand the test of time and hold it's ground against the bigger super malls. This mall may not offer what a larger mall like West County does, but its perfect for its location and neighborhood. I have done many seasons of Christmas shopping in this mall and visit it frequently throughout the year simply because its closer than West county is to me, and it satisfies my shopping needs and wants. read more

This mall does not take public safe or health serious. They post a sign on their front door that MASKS ARE REQUIRED but NO ONE enforces it so you have a mall full of people not wearing them during a pandemic. When you call the mall office, they say they are required in the common areas but their security will not enforce it. So why even post a sign? As for the stores, it is up to each individual store to make up their guidelines so most do not require anything. So again, why even post a sign if your stores are not even required and you are too lazy to enforce in common areas. No wonder this poorly managed mall (that is half empty with stores) continues to go downhill. It would be better served as a parking lot. read more

Mall with many places to shop. Macy's, Victoria Secret, food court, Dillard's, V Stock, etc. read more

South County Center - Starbucks - Shopping Centers Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This is a pretty unimpressive mall with few of the chain stores I consider desirable. I went to JC Penny and it's just terribly merchandised. Macy's is a little better, but the selection is lacking compared to other area malls, like St. Clair. That said, the children's play area stands out. There's a giant barn that my toddler loves. Just wish parents would control their kids better, and prevent bigger kids from pushing over the smaller ones. read more

I know that the era of the shopping malls is ending with more and more people shopping online. But perhaps, this mall is a good example of why. With dirty, cracked floor tiles and worn out dirty carpet literally all of the common areas as well as the anchor stores are tired and seem to be ready to close permanently. The marked up walls need paint and fixtures need updating. Money needs to be spent on remodeling, because there is nothing exciting or fun about shopping at this mall. On the upside the mix of stores is good and they don't have a lot of vacancy like many malls. There is usually plenty of parking and security seems adequate. read more

I give the mall a few years before it's dead like a majority of the other St. Louis malls. Thanks metrolink!

Went to JC Penny's at South County Mall. Won't be back. I have never seen such a messy store or uninformed sales staff. We were looking for moccasin type slippers and she took us to flip flops. Clothing was strewn all over the floors, making it difficult to shop without stepping on stuff. If this is how they run their stores now, I can understand why they are going bankrupt. read more

Best of the area's middle class malls enduring the eras. Once upon a time, South County had a cinema next door. It had a Penny's but no Sears competing against Crestwood with a Sears but no Penny's and developing a cinema. Since, South County has long lost the cinema built a Sears and expanded with a two story wing. Crestwood, long lost the cinema and is heading towards the days of the worm farm that stood before it. South County is no Galleria and is not quite the Haute Couture of West County. It is slightly more upscale than Mid Rivers pars even with Chesterfield while The Mill Outlet is in its own special category. Getting in and out can be a pain via Lindbergh and parking follows the habits of the drivers. You may choose to park near Sears, Penny's, or Macy's (formally known as Famous Barr) each has their advantages and perils. The food court is wide open with child rides and a television few notice. I still miss the days of the "Seven Kitchens". They do have larger restaurants that are located on the perimeter but we simple folk choose the Sbarro. Favorite stores are Macy's (though I miss Famous) and Penny's. Loss of Gap and no Sephora cost the mall a point. Crime rate: Personally, never felt threatened here. If Northwest ranks a 10 in the threat level scale, the Galleria would be a 5 and South County a zero. read more

If you live in South St. Louis and need a quick trip to the mall, this is the place for you. Being from West County, sure this mall doesn't have everything that Chesterfield and West County malls have but it has enough and you can certainly kill time here. This mall does crowd fast, especially since its the first mall many people south of St. Louis will hit when coming to the city. Good selection, needs more restaurants and a better food court but overall can't complain. read more

Not even close to being my favorite mall in St. Louis, but it's close to my house and it has every staple a person could need in a mall. If you are making a quick run, this is probably one of the best malls to hit. The mall is fairly small, so it's easy to get in and out quickly. There is a ton of parking, and even at Christmas I have not had a problem finding a spot. The Borders at this mall leaves a lot to be desired, but if you are looking for a best seller or a standard classic, it will be easily found. Don't expect the same over stock of books and goodies as other stores though. The Macy's and Penny's are two of the better ones in town, and the foodcourt has all the disgusting mall fare a person could ever desire (including the Great American Cookie Company, Orange Julius and Auntie Anne's....every mall eater's dream). Also, there's a decent Express, Victoria's Secret, a plethora of jewelry stores, a huge Gap, and every other mall store a person might be interested in. Check the website to see exactly which stores they have to offer. Also, this mall has come a long way over the years. When I was younger, this mall was terrible and I hated coming here. Since the remodel a few years ago, it has become a decently clean and well filled mall. Props to you South County Mall for pulling yourself up...I'm impressed (and my gas tank thanks you). read more

It is a pretty basic mall and good for its size, but if your up for an extra 7 mile drive, West County Center has a lot more to offer. dp read more

In my opinion West County and Plaza Frontenac are safer. This mall is run down and there are a lot of vacancies. It needs to be shut down. Malls like West County and Plaza Frontenac have variety and very few vacancies. read more

This 1 star rating is for Sears automotive section..... the mall as a whole is horrible but this review is about the rude sales clerks. There was about 3 or 4 of them walking around and they acted like they were afraid to ask people if they needed help, if you made eye contact or walked towards them they immediately avoided you..... as soon as I went to checkout they all disappeared. If I didn't need the tools I would have just left and went to Harbor Freight or better yet... ordered online to avoid the headache and attitudes. read more

This mall is so-so. If I'm in the area and feel like shopping I stop by, but it's not a mall I seek out. I definitely prefer Galleria or West County. The way it's laid out is pretty different and could be confusing upon first visit. There are also other weed things about this mall - like having two Bath and Body's. One on the first floor and one on the second. read more

Every once in a while when I am making a trip to Costco I stop by this mall out of convenience and I instantly regret it. This mall is pretty terrible. There are no decent clothing stores for anyone between the age of 30 and 60. Under 30 is covered by Express & Forever 21 and after 60 you're all set at Christopher Banks, but what about in between? Where's the Loft? Where's the Banana Republic? Where's the dang Gap? Even Dillards & Macy's have a horrible selection of frumpy clothes. It's just a big waste of time. read more

South County Center used to be a great mall, however now its on the decline. Last visit I noticed that there were two Bath & Body Works and GameStops in this one mall, seriously? Why do I need two of each of these stores when I just walked past one of them. I am surprised that there was only one Starbucks in this mall, why not add another one. I would skip this and head over to the Galleria for my shopping. read more

This is a decent mall. The layout is nice enough and it has a good amount of stores. I'd say if you stay in the south county area definitely visit this mall, however I would not travel far or go out of my way to get to it. Go to West County Mall or the Galleria Mall in Brentwood area for better selection. read more

South county mall is not what is was 30 years ago. It has a few stores that I repeat too and the post office is open till 6 for those that work and can't get to the post office before close. A number of small businesses have moved in on the upper level due to the big names moving to the main floor. read more

I agree with previous reviews that this mall is small. I don't like the fact that you have to access both Applebee's and Noodle & Company from the outside but that you can access Qdoba from both inside & outside. Although this mall doesn't compare to West County Mall, it has the stores that I like to go window shop (e.g. Yankee Candle, etc.). One advantage of this mall is that there's a Dillard's here. As of recent, there's a cool popcorn stall on the lower floor across from Yankee Candle. The smell is way tooo tempting to resist not wanting to get some. The Macy's store here is indeed small. There is security running in the parking lots so that you feel safe getting out of your car & going back to your car. read more
