Malls are getting scarce nowadays and I love that it seems like this one is thriving. Big selection of stores. Easily walkable. They need more in their restaurant village. Rumor has it a cheesecake factory is eyeing it, that be great if it does. read more

One of the nicest, busiest malls I've been to. We're lucky in the St Louis Metro Area to have such a mall as this, as others are closing down. All the stores are open, there's none that have left and if they do, another store re opens in that spot. The bathrooms were awful, it surprised me actually. It smelled so bad going down the long hallway. Toilet paper all over the floor and 2 stalls weren't clean, if you know what I mean. Luckily the lady who cleans was coming in as I was leaving, but for it to get that bad... hopeful it's cleaned pretty routinely. read more

I love browsing this mall. Plenty of stores, foot traffic. Aisle/hall sales. Playground, food courts. Friendly staff. Plenty of security. Prices through out the mall will fit customers budget. Plenty of parking throughout the building. Massage chairs for the men waiting on their partners to finish shopping (wink:) A good Pandora location as well. read more

This is the best mall in Missouri, and potentially the best mall I've ever been to. West County is one of the only STL malls still bustling, and it's always pretty busy. Especially the food court, which I understand, since it's loaded with options! Great collection of mid to high price stores, chain restaurants and even some pop-up-booths throughout. Bathrooms aren't too dirty either, for a mall at least. read more

West County Center - Shopping Centers Near Me - Des Peres, Missouri

My "go to" place for many things. Always clean (except for the public restrooms-they really can improve on that). Conveniently located just off the highway, with lots of good stores to choose from. read more

I've entertained the idea of writing this review for years. Today, after witnessing an employee walk out of the family bathroom to find it looking like this. (Given that she couldn't have been able to use the bathroom either, one wonders what she was doing in there.) This is an ongoing, mall-wide issue. The bathrooms here are disgusting. I usually take my small children way to Nordstrom when we have to go. The mall collects rent from the shops, the shops collect payment from the customers, and apparently no one (except Nordstrom, thanks Nordstrom) cares about the hygiene of the environments needed in-between. read more

West County Center - Family bathroom - Shopping Centers Near Me - Des Peres, Missouri

Busy mall with plenty of stores to shop. Plenty of parking outside, covered and uncovered. Always clean and always able to find something that fits everyone's needs. There are plenty of food places to grab a bite to eat. There is a playground to let the kiddos wear themselves out after all the shopping! read more

I rarely come to the mall and when I do, I try to park close to the store for a quick in and out. This day, i decided to look around to see what I could buy for gifts. I used to love the mall and this one especially. What a huge disappointment. While they have a lot of shops and kiosk, the place is just filthy. I know employers are struggling with staffing but something should be done. Every trash can was overfilled. Mess all over the floor and even throw up on corners with caution markers and paper covering it. I didn't even bother going to the food court or bathroom. The inside of stores looked clean and well kept, just not the mall. read more

I went to West County store in STL. Selection was great and service was superb. Wanda was absolutely wonderful! She knew exactly how to rearrange the charms I had and add new. The bracelet is gorgeous! read more

The place is absolutely disgusting. They don't clean the bathrooms enough. There's children just running around even though that's against the rules. Why is them all like this? Why is this considered a safe mall at least the galleria I know I'm gonna have at least a clean time. read more

I truly think this is the best mall experience in the STL area! I have a young toddler and this mall is equipped with a kids play place, kid-friendly food options, a train that runs regularly, and a floor plan that's easy to navigate. I love the variety of stores that cater to me and my child, and everything seems very clean too! During Christmas-time they have the best Santa for photos and the price is fairly reasonable. I'll be keeping west county mall in mind for my future shopping! read more

West County Center - Train ride - Shopping Centers Near Me - Des Peres, Missouri

I recently spent an afternoon at West County Center, located at 80 W County Center Dr, Des Peres, MO 63131, and it was a largely enjoyable experience that solidified its place as one of the better shopping destinations in the St. Louis area. This upscale mall offers a robust mix of retail, dining, and entertainment options, making it a versatile spot for a day out, whether you're shopping for essentials, splurging on something special, or just looking to kill a few hours. The store selection is a major highlight. Anchored by heavyweights like Nordstrom, Macy's, and JCPenney, the mall caters to a wide range of budgets and tastes. Tech enthusiasts will appreciate the sleek Apple Store, while fashion lovers can browse stores like H&M, Zara, and lululemon. There are also specialty shops like Sephora and LEGO for beauty and family-friendly fun, respectively. I was particularly impressed by the variety of mid-tier and high-end brands, which makes it easy to find both trendy pieces and timeless staples. However, during my visit, a few stores (notably one of the clothing retailers) seemed understaffed, leading to long checkout lines and slightly frustrated customers. It wasn't a dealbreaker, but it did slow down the experience. The food court is a standout, offering a diverse lineup that goes beyond typical mall fare. From quick options like Chick-fil-A, Panda Express, and Subway to more unique spots like a Mediterranean grill and a sushi counter, there's something to satisfy most cravings. I grabbed a chicken shawarma wrap from the Mediterranean place, and it was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. The food court was bustling around 1 PM, and finding a table was a bit of a challenge, so I'd recommend timing your visit to avoid peak lunch hours. For those looking for a sit-down experience, restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory and Bravo! Italian Kitchen are nearby, offering a more relaxed vibe. My only critique here is that the food court could use a few more healthy or vegetarian-friendly options to round out the selection. The mall itself is bright, modern, and well-maintained. The open, airy design with high ceilings and natural light creates a welcoming atmosphere. Cleanliness is clearly a priority--restrooms were spotless, and I didn't notice any litter in the common areas. There are plenty of seating areas scattered throughout, which is great for a quick break or people-watching. For families, there's a small play area for kids, which looked like a hit with the younger crowd. The mall also hosts occasional events, like seasonal markets or live performances, though nothing was scheduled during my visit. Parking is plentiful, with a large lot and a multi-level garage. However, on a busy Saturday afternoon, I had to circle a bit to find a spot close to an entrance. The mall is easily accessible from I-270, and the layout is wheelchair-friendly, with elevators and ramps clearly marked. I also noticed clear signage throughout, which made navigation a breeze, even for a first-time visitor. West County Center strikes a great balance between variety, convenience, and comfort. It's not as sprawling as some mega-malls, which I actually appreciated--it felt manageable without being overwhelming. The staff I interacted with, from security to store employees, were generally friendly and helpful, though the understaffing in certain stores was a minor annoyance. The mall also feels safe and family-friendly, making it a solid choice for groups or solo shoppers alike. A few more staff members during peak hours would help streamline the shopping experience, and expanding the food court's healthier dining options would be a nice touch. Additionally, while the parking situation is generally good, more signage for overflow lots during busy times could reduce frustration. Overall, West County Center is a reliable and enjoyable destination for shopping, dining, or just soaking in the vibe. It's not perfect, but it's a well-rounded spot that I'd happily revisit for a productive and pleasant day out. Highly recommend for anyone in the St. Louis area looking for a modern mall experience! read more

Ravishing place and great variety of stores-still skeptical on restroom and trash can neatness but neat nonetheless. So much to shop for and lovely selection of merchandise to choose from. Prices I found to be just right, except for some specific brands, but y'know, a few bad apples don't ruin the whole bunch. If your shopping, you could just skip the stores you don't favor. Staff is fine. I had a fantastic visit and I always love going here with friends and family, or maybe just by myself. read more

WOW! I hadn't been to this mall for awhile. It was great to see it busy, with lots of customers. I know, so many people like to order online. My preference is a brick and mortar store where I can get real, live personal service. Clothing and shoes...I like to try before I buy, and not have to deal with returns later. It's fun to checkout the various stores and grab something to eat or drink at one of the many restaurants. read more

West County Center - Busy food court on a Friday evening - Shopping Centers Near Me - Des Peres, Missouri

It's not a secret that malls aren't as busy as they used to be. I, myself, rarely go to the mall anymore due to the ease of shipping and online shopping. I came here to do some shopping with my mom and was delightfully surprised with how many people were here and how lively everything was. Post covid I haven't been here that often, so I had a false sense of what it would be like. While it wasn't hard to find a parking space by any means, everything was lively and people seemed to be happy to be out and about. The mall itself was very clean and everything was kept up with. I've been to other shopping centers where escalators were broken, bathrooms weren't kept up with etc. The food court has a ton of new options since I've been here last, which is super awesome. There's some local options in there as well, which I feel is really important. This was like a trip back to high school for me and I definitely appreciated it :) read more

Probably the nicest mall in the St. Louis area and the parking lot agrees with me. We arrived at the best time though parking was full, we opted for the top floor of the garage which is usually a safe bet to find parking. By the time we left, it felt like we were leaving the garage at ball park village right after a cardinals game. It was so busy that there were police directing traffic. Everyone seemed to be doing their last minute Christmas shopping I suppose. I was just there to do a return at Nordstrom's. The ebb and flow of traffic wasn't too bad though, but that peak hour was around 1pm on a Saturday so fair warning! read more

My grandmother needed a wheelchair, we had to walk half the mall and when we did find the place to borrow a wheelchair, we were told she would have to walk all the way down to their security office to sign for it personally and no they wouldn't bring it to her! How is that accomedating. If she could walk that far she wouldn't need the damn chair.. negative stars of I could read more

This shopping center/ mall is always adding new stores to stay relevant and trendy. They have the staple department stores, multiple restaurants, and many different parking lots all around the mall. I've been shopping here about 20 years and it's one of my favorites in the area. From food to jewelry to picture frames they have it all! Recommended. read more

Awesome mall!! It's so beautiful, has a great variety of stores and places to eat with a fun and welcoming atmosphere. I will be coming back in the near future to enjoy this place more. read more

Honestly don't think that West County gets enough credit for the diversity in shopping and the experience you get while shopping at this mall. Especially in a time where a lot of malls shit down wether due to the pandemic or malls failing to maintain solid sales numbers, West County Mall always thrives to keep its number of empty gaps (or closed down stores) to a minimum. And as someone who's grown up in St. Louis my whole life, it has truly only gotten better and better. read more

It had been a long time since iv been to a mall, but I will be back! I thoughts malls were "dead" but this one is thriving! New stores like Arch City Apparel and Golden Gems were a welcome surprise! read more

This mall is not ADA accessible! All of the elevators are down! You have to visit Macy's or Nordstrom to utilize elevators which isn't convenient if you are at the JC Penny side of the mall! This is the second time I've experienced this and will hesitate to return! read more
