Revisited Nov day after Thanksgiving, this mall was active. The food court was operating with six restaurants which is better than other dying malls can say. It was bustling with people not like twenty years ago but it was nice to see this mall can still bring business. read more

Anderson Mall - Might be same crane from my youth - Shopping Centers Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

This mall is a bit rough: lots of locally-owned stores (which I like) but with handmade signs, and the paint jobs on several storefronts are rough, with big splotches of missing paint. Remaining chains include stores such as Spencer Gifts, and the overall physical condition of the mall is rough. Anderson deserves better. For Upstate malls, I'd put this one behind Westgate and definitely behind Haywood. It's above the mall that used to be in Easley, though, if that helps. Dillard's is a nice store, though. read more

I will Review JOURNEYS in the Anderson Mall first then the actual mall itself. The lack of management and sales presence in this Journeys store is disturbing. I usually don't stop in my tracks and take a photo of employees in a store but this scene is quite out of control. **I made sure to take a photo from far away so as to avoid posting anyone's face on here but someone from this company should REALLY make a surprise visit to this store location. The sheer comfort displayed by these employees to act like this is scary. The overall MALL- I am so sad for the state of this mall. I was born in Anderson and used to cruise this mall and shop for back-to-school clothes as a young teen in the 80's. Since moving HELLA FAR AWAY in the late 90's to pursue my dreams of getting the Hella out of Anderson, I lived in Chicago- where I attended college- majoring in design and textiles- I currently reside in Arizona and CA. I haven't been back here to Anderson for a very long time but I am here this week visiting. It is shocking how run down this city looks. So sorry- No offense. I realize times have changed, businesses close and people move on, but it breaks my heart to see this mall so forlorn, dreary and empty. It's the only Mall Anderson has and it seems criminal to allow the demise of such a staple part of the city. If I were the Mayor of Anderson or worked in the local civic arena in any capacity, I would break my neck to bring back the spirit and integrity of this long forgotten commercial property. Kudos to Dilliards for creating a beautiful shopping atmosphere despite its dilapidated surroundings as well as Bath & Body Works and American Eagle. While visiting the mall today I went in Journeys (and judging by the photo I shared) no wonder there is no one shopping here! But!! ***I must give a shout out to Chic 5- What a fun store this is with a vibrant selection of fun, colorful and fashion forward clothing, shoes, accessories and merchandise displayed nicely and with purpose. PRO-TIP! CHIC 5 OFFERS FREE MONOGRAMMING on any article of clothing purchased from the store. I am a monogram freak and this incentive alone made me look around with excitement. I bought a cute denim jacket (that I had monogrammed) and a fabulous one piece jumpsuit outfit. The jumpsuit was only $59 and could easily pass for a high-end designer brand from SAKS or Neiman's once paired with the right shoes and accessories . I bought it to wear to Brunch at the Coronado hotel in CA next week. I must also give a small rave to RAINBOW. There were three female employees working there today and although no one really asked if they could help me until I approached them, they were at least very polite and busy going through boxes of merchandise. i looked through the racks an RACKS at RAINBOW and even though I am an older female (53) and didn't feel like there were a-lot of options I could personally wear, the had the LOWEST and best prices I've EVER seen in a retail store. If I weren't already traveling back home with already overstuffed luggage, I would've definitely purchased so many things from this store for me and for my kids at home. It's definitely worth the time to go in a sift through the racks. It would help to have someone with you who has an eye for fashion by putting pieces together because it could be very overwhelming - I was overwhelmed and I am a professional commercial designer/window artist and veteran shopper. If I had any desire to move back here - (which I don't) but if I did, I'd buy this whole mall and bring it back to life, complete with the nostalgic Eckerd drugs lunch counter- where I sat every weekend when I was six years old while my mother worked the cosmetic counter. read more

See all

Anderson Mall is a small mall on a busy street in this small town in SC. It has a couple of major department stores, Dillard's and Belk (a South based department store) as well as some boutique shops, and other stores you typically will find in every mall such as Victoria's Secret and bath and body works. Overall, the mall is OK. The reason why it gets 3 stars from me is how small it is. I would call it a shopping center based on size but definitely not a mall. When I hear Mall usually, I think of the likes of Dubai malls or at least Fashion Square in Scottsdale Arizona. This said however, the prices here are just amazing and the service by most people is actually pretty good, I still like to shop her every once in a while. There is a small food court with some good selection of cuisines. Not my favorite mall but the most convenient in terms of location and price. read more

Great mall and essentials stores . Love the Sephora inside jcpenny big selection on make up and was very pleased on how informative the sales person was with me . Ask for summers read more

Anderson Mall - Shopping Centers Near Me - Anderson, South Carolina

This is a quiet, old little mall. It's a bit dark and dingy and has a strange layout, but it serves its purpose if you're looking for indoor space to walk. The anchor stores are Dillards, Belk, JCPenney and Sears so you might find some deals there. There's a few name brand stores in the mall and a small food court as well. It's not one that I would find myself returning to unless I was looking for something specific. I think Anderson deserves something better! read more

This mall is just ok. There are a few stores worth my time but by and large I would rather go to Haywood Mall in Greenville which has a lot more to offer. The biggest blow for me was the Gamestop closing it's doors. Also the mall lacks a free wifi connection. Books-a-million is fairly new and about the only store worth going out of your way for. The food court is passible Chick-fil-a is good as always. Anderson Express is a Chinese place that is good as well. Never tried Mexican Deli, Sbarro, or the new Bruce's Hot Dogs and More. Unless you are in desperate need, or unable to drive to a better mall avoid Anderson Mall in it's current state. read more

Coming from a big city, this is a small mall but it has your basics- department stores: JCPenney, Dillard's, Belk and a not needed Sears. There's a Victoria's Secrets, book store,Children's Place and some other stores I can't recall at the moment. I remember going to the women's restroom and questioning this box. The box was for drug needles. I've never seen one before, nevertheless, inside the mall. I didn't know this town had a meth problem. But silver lining, at least there's a safe place to drop off your dirty needles instead of just the regular trash can. read more

The mall itself is disappointing. But my experience in Journeys was awesome. I came in to get a new pair of converse -- actually two pairs -- back and white high tops. The sales associate, Callie, was eager to help me, and I found the shoes I was looking for quickly and efficiently. Best service I've had in the mall. She was very attentive. Thanks for your service!! read more

I've spent a lot of time in Anderson, SC lately and found an evening free. I decided to explore the Mall. JCP and Sears I know, so I decided to try Belk's. It was disappointing, not nearly as nice as our hometown Kohl's and seemed to be for teenagers (maybe that really is what Belk's is, and I just don't know). So I went around the other side to Dilliard's and it was the same thing - high school clothing. I was disappointed in the ware, but got some much appreciated leg stretching in a some fabulous SC sunshine - cannot complain about that! read more

Sad, sad mall :( the only good thing is that they have asian massages here that are pretty good hahah

Don't usually shop here but it's pretty clean. It's the smallest mall I've ever been to, lol you can literally walk the whole thing in 10 minutes. I do like buying my sons dress clothes at Belk. There's a lot of loud teenagers walking around though. read more

I was here visiting and I decided to check out their mall on a Thursday night. When I arrive the parking lot was kinda dead, So I was thinking maybe it was because its a Thursday??? When I walk inside the mall looked like the parking lot. I walked through this mall so quick. This is a cute small town compared to other deserted towns I have been in. I think their mall should at least look a little better, I think this town has a lot of charm. The only 2 store I went in was Books a million and this little boutique call Chic 5 Boutique (This store had a lot of stuff I thought was cute) other than that I left. That was it. read more

Favorite pass time location when entertaining the nieces and nephews! Staff ous always courteous and polite! I love how involved the management and directors are not only within their walls but also within the Anderson Community! Thanks for all you do out there! read more

I hate going into this mall. The only redeeming quality is that Books a Million is there and you can enter it without having to go inside the mall area. In the evening, the safety is questionable because of all the teen loiterers. I would never shop there at night. read more

I was visiting the town and I decided to explore the area the first thing i saw was the mall,is very little and some employees were really rude and one lady at the food court told me and my family to shut up because we were speaking spanish and to go back to mexico...which I found offensive because i dont live in usa and also im from PR but again small racist town read more

Anderson Mall has been serving Anderson since 1973. It has really grown over the years since I was a kid. They have just remolded there and built a huge Dillard`s Department Store where the old Meyer`s Arnold and Upton`s Store was. the new Dillard`s also takes up the space of the old ABC-Pitt Anderson Mall Theater and several stores. The mall seems to be almost completely full now. We think that it is the best mall in South Carolina. read more

Flashback Mall! Dillard's & Belk carry lower lines that ATl metro I'm used to seeing. Frustrating to find name brand shoes or purses. Won't be back. Not even a Starbucks! read more

I've been to this mall frequently since I've been attending college nearby. I have to say that this mall I definitely not one of the best. It is pretty rough looking from the outside. The parking lot is in horrible condition and landscaping is non-existent. The inside is much nicer though and it is a pretty large mall. It even recently built a brand new books a million. The stores are lacking though. There are numerous empty spots but I think that's to be expected with it's size and location in Anderson. The stores I can name off my head would be: sears, dillards, belk, jc penny, books a million, a few shoe stores, a couple teen clothes stores, radioshack, a couple urban stores, and other random ones. It takes about 20 minutes for a college kid to do a tour of this mall through the most interesting stores. It does say the children's place is coming fall 2010 and a few stores are promising. It's also a Simon mall so there are more than likely big plans for the mall. It's okay but if you have the time, go to Haywood mall in Greenville. It's a better mall that's relatively close. read more

this place is awesome they have everything from stores to restaurants to bouncy jumping! the prices arent that high either!!!!!!!!
