Plenty of parking, which is helpful. Bath & Body Works, JCPenney, Petsmart, Target and other retail. McDonald's, Panera, Qdoba, Red Lobster, Friday's and Panera. There is even a Tesla Supercharger station here. On this early morning, I just needed that OfficeMax and I was quickly on my way. [Review 11991 overall, 1774 of 2019.]

Meh. I know how badly this area needed a "mall" but for how long it's been and seeing what is here…read moreI'm disappointed. No Panera's Bread, Starbucks, DTLR or Foot Locker. It appears the clothing stores around here seem like they're completely missing the demographics of local neighborHOODs like of Seven Gables, St Paul's area and Varina. Doesn't seem like much is here for guys.. at all. Either way it doesn't matter it's usually dead here except for the restaurants like Olive Garden, Chik Fil A and Red Lobsters. What is strange is that everything here ..and near here seems to be a mini version of their West End counterparts. The Best Buy across the street, The Red Lobster.. all are noticbly smaller. There is a roundabout for some odd reason, and 70% of the area is empty parking lot. You'll ask yourself "wow do people around here know how to drive?!" the answer is likely no since two high schools are about 15 minutes away and the international airport is also close by..plus it's still new so you're getting a mix of newbies on the road dealing with a roundabout. Long story short I would not be surprised to see this place go the way of this area's last mall, Eastgate aka Fairfield Commons that's only 5 or so minutes down the street. People here are very rude except for Chikfila or whatever. I will never go to the GameStop here again, it' was my first time experiencing a ghetto GameStop. The employees wear urban clothes, du rags howeer you spell it.. kids are always in here and it's the size of a closet with maybe 2 bins of used games that are still fairly new and from this gen. Short Pump is still the best shopping center.

I'm a fan of Willow Lawn Shopping Center. I remember it's early days as an outdoor mall, then…read morebecoming an enclosed shopping center, and then back to an outdoor mall. I even remember going to the movies at the Willow Lawn Cinema! Man I'm old! Through all of its growing pains, face lifts and renovations, I have continued my support of this centrally located shopping center. Some restaurants have come and gone, but there's always a good selection of eateries. I'm a regular at Ross, Old Navy and DSW. I'm hoping there will be an influx of business with the new Dick's Sporting Goods store here! I love the Five Guys, Noodles, Tropical Smoothie, Panera and Chick-fil-A. This A.C. Moore doesn't have as much as some of the other shops, but I patronize it in a pinch. Alpha Comics is here and I love browsing in that store and it's right across from Ducks Donuts! The Kroger is always packed, I avoid it. It's nice that they've added a play area and a picnic spot too! The parking configuration is a bit confusing sometimes, but it's not hateful. This mall is one structure that seems to always reinvent itself! Overall, I'm glad this RVA classic mall has survived thru the decades! Keep on truckin' Willow Lawn! Yep, I said it!

Willow Lawn is great for Staples, AC Moore, and Kroger, but if I'm looking for anything more, this…read moreis not my pick. However, it's undergone a big facelift over the last few months and I'm interested to see what happens with it! Aside from Old Navy, there aren't any clothing shops I'd be interested in perusing, but there's a new taphouse that I'd like to check out. There's also a Five Guys, a liquor store, Starbucks, Panera, and Noodles & Co if you're hungry or thirsty. It's your typical strip mall, with smaller stores in an outdoor setting. I do think it's headed in a much more positive direction as a result of the building renovations, so my fingers are crossed that they're able to pull in more anchor stores to make this a more popular shopping destination. Parking is never a problem, and the holiday decorations get two thumbs up from this girl! And did I mention the Staples is great? Because it is.

It turns out it is a goth type establishment. I'm not very goth myself but most certainly appreciate colorful makeup, black clothing and jewelry and the like. I believe they very recently opened so there was a huge selection of clothing but they have room for more. The goth woman (or man or whatever gender) in your life will LOVE the clothes, shoes, makeup etc. Yes--there shoes, jewelry, belts, bracelets, delightfully snarky greeting cards, pins and things for babies and children. I liked the coffin shaped crib for sale. The prices were great and the dude working there was great. I plan to go back in a few months and see what else comes in. I was happy to walk about with a funny card and cheek/lip color. I'm definitely checking back in a few months because I think they will have even more things.
