Boy, I remember when this mall in North Raleigh opened and had unique shops new to the Triangle area. I even shopped there a few times, driving all the way from Durham. We recently decided to stop in again, mainly out of curiosity, and boy this mall has slipped tremendously. It just never caught on as a major shopping destination and is eclipsed by Crabtree Valley Mall and the Streets at Southpoint. I know malls are suffering all across America, but it was kind of sad to see so many shuttered storefronts and small shops selling what I would consider to be gaudy attire. Even the outparcels that used to have more shops and restaurants seem to be empty. We won't be back anytime soon.

Saks is here, but I don’t know why since there are no other upscale stores in this mall, which is badly in need of a facelift. Even the Macys and Belk sell low end brands, but Dillard’s does have a few designers. Lots of mom and pop type stores fill most of the storefronts so unless you’re counting on Saks or Dillard’s to have what you want, don’t even waste your time looking in the other stores.

Very disappointed. Stayed at the hotel nearby and walked over. Lots of vacant stores and some of the ones open, are not well stocked. Not much in the food court either. I can really only say we got some steps in walking on the 2 levels.

Our recent visit was very disappointing. There are now many empty stores. The department stores that remain are understaffed and messy. We were both very depressed bring there. The south wing which once had very nice restaurants is closed. The entire experience was awful.
