    It is hard to see how few people are at the Oakland Mall on a Saturday night. Back in the day it…read morewould be bustling with people eating and hanging out on the weekend. There still seems to be quite a few stores here that interest the family, especially the kids, like Hot Topic, Forever 21, Spencer's, H&M, Macy's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Sbarros...but it seems very empty of both people and stores. I am also not sure about how this place is labeled on yelp, it looks like someone tampered with the name of the mall. The other thing about this place is it is organized very strangely, like parts have a second floor and parts have a lower level, very confusing. There are so many great restaurants and shopping opportunities around this mall to help support customers, maybe it could have a revival? We came here because we went to some stores close by and also wanted to see if we could find a particular, which we were unable to find. Perhaps they could not survive. I am not saying I would not return, but since there is another mall in Troy, I am more likely to go there and just go to other strip malls and restaurants over here.

    The near-empty atriums of Oakland Mall on a Sunday afternoon stood in stark contrast to my…read morechildhood memories of this shopping mall when it was bustling with shoppers throughout the 1980s and 1990s. I remember Oakland Mall being so crowded that it was hard to make one's way through the corridors on weekends without bumping into people. When I was a kid, Oakland Mall seemed to cater more to a middle to upper middle class clientele. Now it is solidly mid-market with the Somerset Collection taking over as the upscale shopping center in Troy. Despite the many empty storefronts, including the massive hole left behind by where Sears once stood, Oakland Mall is a decent shopping center worth visiting. Macy's and JcPenney have occupied the same retail space for as long as I can remember, and are still there. The same goes for the longstanding A&W, which I find to be a clean location with good fries and cheese curds. Other stores that can be found at Oakland Mall include Dick's Sporting Goods, New York & Company, Bath & Body Works, Claire's, H&M, Tai Ji Wellness, BrowArt23, and a small food court. It's unfortunate that so many shopping malls have not found a way to bring back customers who have turned to online shopping. The few successful shopping malls I have seen have been good at diversifying with lots of restaurant options, high and low-end stores, and the addition of supermarkets. I would love to see a Target or Meijer open up where Sears used to be. I think there is potential for Oakland Mall to revitalize if it can bring in a major retailer or supercenter. Until then, some of those empty spaces would make great haunted houses or escape rooms!
