    Decent Mall, it's good to still have one in the East Bay!!…read more I usually get some good deals in JC Pennys, that might be the largest store in this mall along with Macys! There's a food court and movie theater downstairs. This mall isn't huge, decent sized to me. Sears used to be major in this mall, it even had auto center there. I remember getting tires put on there back in the day. Now it's gone, along with a lot of other stores. But there are still plenty of stores here, enough to keep this like a real Mall. And I always liked the location, right off of the 880 freeway in Hayward, very easy to get to!!!

    Decent mall like the 2019 version of Newpark Mall. JCPenney and Macy's are still going strong…read moredespite most locations closed down across the bay and nationwide. I have nothing to buy here other than working out at Planet Fitness, watching a movie at Cinemark, and playing arcade games at Round 1. The food court looks dead downstairs. Not much to eat, so I have to walk outside the mall for nearby restaurants. Not sure why the Sears sign is still up when it went out of business over 7 years ago. The mall is mostly service based and conveniently located near the Southland Office Center where the Social Security Administration is. The clothing stores are mostly street wear to business casual. Pretty boring to walk around, yet convenient for Hayward and neighboring residents who don't want to drive to Valley Fair to shop.

    Some of my regular spots here are The Habit (for their salads and delicious tempura green beans),…read moreHalal Guys, Wingstop, Cinemark movie theater (with awesome Charlie Chaplin artwork and posters displayed throughout the lobby and hallways), DSW (they have some pretty decent shoes IMO), and Target (for everyday essentials). And I saw Barnes & Noble coming soon... if that's true, heck yeah! I know it's mostly chains, not unique boutique shops and businesses, but there is still enough variety that I have no complaints. The outdoor mall is fairly modern, and the area feels safe. A summer concert series occurs on 4th fridays of the month at The Block Plaza near Koja Kitchen, which was convenient this past weekend cuz I grabbed dinner at Koja Kitchen and was able to enjoy the live music while dining. A few doors down, I picked up a yummy chocolate chip cookie from Crumbl too. However if coming here for the live entertainment, the location's not the best. It gets crowded cuz it's just a small space, with concrete surface, and you gotta bring your own lawn chairs if you want seating. There was a tiny dance floor in front of the stage too, but really nothing inviting about the setup. That said, The Cheeseballs put on a fun show for the crowd, with the band performing funk, soul, and rnb tunes. They played various hits including Whitney Houston's I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Hips Don't Lie by Shakira, You Make My Dreams Come True by Daryl Hall and John Oates, and Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club mashed up with Katy Perry's Firework. Also, parking and traffic is never really an issue for me in this shopping center except near Costco and In-N-Out.

    Lido Faire Shopping Center is located in Newark, CA on Newark Blvd. It's a pretty big shopping…read morecenter and consists many different stores, shops, and restaurants. Before it used to be kinda empty after Lido Supermarket left....however in 2005 when 99 Ranch Market moved in things started looking better for this shopping center, more stores, shops, and restaurants! Now it's a thriving Asian shopping center! Here is a list of the general big retail stores and restaurants: 99 Ranch Market Lido Saigon Seafood Harbor Restaurant Little Sichuan Restaurant 85 Degrees Bakery Cafe Newark Buffet East West Bank Dollar Tree Wendy's Popeye's Chicken & Biscuits Big O Tires The other side of the shopping center consists of some of following Restaurants and Stores: Fitness 2000 & Kids Castle Chevron Gas Station Del Taco Quiznos CoCurry Thai Cuisine Kioku Sushi Iron Sushi Newark Good Year Tire Center Bank of the West Parking: Parking here at this shopping center can be a HASSLE especially on the weekends due to soo many different restaurants & shops, 99 Ranch Market, Dollar Tree and now the newly opened 85 Degrees Bakery Cafe. I recommend parking on the opposite side of the shopping center, by Fitness 2000 and Kids Castle and walking towards the 99 Ranch Market area because it will be EXTREMELY difficult to find parking near that side on the weekends, weekdays however you should be fine. ** However, please be aware and do NOT park your car in the Wendy's or Popeye's parking lot, your car is subjected to be TOWED unless of course, your dinning at Wendy's or Popeye's. So if your shopping at 99 Ranch Market or 85 Degrees Bakery Cafe, do NOT park in the Wendy's or Popeye's lot!** Shopping Carts: Both Dollar Tree and 99 Ranch Market have shopping carts for customers to use during their trip to the store, so you can be sure to find plenty of shopping carts throughout the shopping center parking lots. Overall, it's a pretty big and decent thriving Asian shopping center that is now full of businesses after 99 Ranch Market moved on in!

    This place is popping! Difficult to find parking on the weekend. Most likely because of 85 degrees…read morebeing in this plaza. People park everywhere (including making random places their own parking spot because they're too lazy to park a bit farther). There's also a ranch 99 here, lots of restaurants and a fitness center that has child care (with a jumpy house!)

    This is the main shopping center that I go to when I'm in Castro Valley…read more This place is bigger than I originally thought. I've been here for Rigatoni's, Bank of the West (Now BMO), Health Unlimited, and iSushi. On the other side was a Safeway, Ross, Castro Valley Bowl along with other businesses. This place is usually pretty busy, lots of different types of businesses here!!

    Lots of parking available right now. Usually it's packed. *this was written in the moment of a…read moreprevious check-in. Update: after coming to the Village Shopping Center additional times since my above comment had been notarized, there are days or perhaps certain times of the day where the parking lot appears empty and it is easy to find parking, while on the majority of times / days I have been - they are usually packed with hardly any parking avail. Sometimes I have been lucky to snag a spot where someone was just about to back out. The spaces are kind of tight and narrow pathways, drive slowly! There are a lot of businesses that have remained here since I was a child and student at CVHS. Lots of new fronts and name changes to others. I haven't taken a stroll around the entire center, but there's a drug store, ice cream parlor, discounted home goods, apparel stores, fitness businesses, specialty goods and boutiques, bakeries, coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, the bowling alley is still here, nail salons, juicers, and more. Since its the holiday time, they had a tree lighting ceremony advertised. I thought that was a nice community event that might bring people and families together, though I questioned where the tree was going to be due to the tight space. I would want this center to continue to have a lot of business - good businesses here. I want to see CV's downtown area become an area that I would like to frequent or go to vs. driving to Danville or Walnut Creek or San Ramon. I hope there would be ways to create more parking around the area while increasing the businesses or being strategic in which new businesses should open to create a thriving atmosphere.
