This place is so sad. I went there with my daughter to kill some time while getting my car serviced. I had not visited since Covid, and what a change. 2 anchor stores, Kohl's and Dick's. Only a handful of other stores open. I remember when there was JC Penney, Carson's, Fannie May Candy, and every store space occupied. I am guessing it won't last too much longer.

Out of four previous major anchors in this mall only one remains. Three major anchors with large footprints are now gone. No more Pennys, Boston Store or Sears. Along with these leaving it has hurt the smaller stores as well due to the lack of foot traffic. Left is Kohls which does very well but if they ever relocate it will be another nail in the coffin. DICKS sporting goods has taken over about half of the old Pennys location and seems to be doing well. However; away from this mall, other large stand alone brick and mortar stores and strip malls in the Janesville area seem to be doing well. Not much left in the Janesville Mall and with the soon departure of Schucks, Creston Park Mall will suffer as well. There has been discussion of a sports complex possibly moving into the Sears location but nothing concrete yet, just talk.

Most of the major stores have closed as well of some smaller stores. Many empty spaces. Only thing it is good for is for seniors to mall walk.

Janesville mall is a convenient and small to midsize shopping mall with a few anchor stores and a nice selection of shopping and dining options inside.

It’s sad that all the stores continue to close. When I first starting going, all the department stores where there and only 1 or 2 empty units. Now there are more empty units than there are stores.
