I've known this mall for decades. I remember back in the day this place was packed all the time -…read moregreat stores, well run, great mall to go to. Hard to believe it's the same place. I don' t know if this mall is ever packed and it's not totally the mall's fault - buying stuff on line has really killed the brick-and-mortal stores in general and I get it. But holy smokes, the stores here - it's multiple variations of the same crap stores. Who buys this stuff? There are some stores that I absolutely cannot believe make enough money to stay open. They have to pay rent and employee salaries and make some sort of profit and you wonder how it's possible. If you go here and look around, you'll know what stores I'm talking about. I was walking around here yesterday was just amazed at the absolute garbage stores. One "kitsch" store (and there are many) proudly displayed some poster about "stupid people" by its entrance that you could buy - for people to buy to make fun of stupid people - yet literally the only people who would buy this are the people it makes fun of. And you can't walk into these stores because the second you do the employee is on you. Like Blockbuster where every employee had to greet you and see if you need anything. I just want to look around without being bothered but it's not possible in these stores. They have so little people in them, when an employee does get someone they hover. You do still have some good stores - Macys of course, an old standby with good stuff - you can't go wrong with a Macys. Even JC Penneys is still here (I didn't even know they were still around). The Sears finally went out and to no one's surprise, they couldn't care less about that store for years now. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. And the clientele walking around. You have your people of all ages and races which you want to see. California is represented well at this mall and I like that. And of course your thugs always wasting time walking around - disturbs me seeing these guys. I guess the mall can't do anything about them but yeah, they're here. On the plus side, the mall is super clean. I'd like to hope that this mall, one of the malls I've been to for decades will still be around for a long time but honestly, if this thing still exists in three years I'd be shocked.

I think that the Veranda Shopping Center is a victim of its own success. We were there for dinner…read moreat Espetus at 5pm on a Friday night. The parking lot was a hot mess. Cars circling incessantly looking for that elusive space. Some drivers obviously getting impatient based on their rapid acceleration and sudden braking whenever it appeared that someone was approaching their vehicle or stepped on their brake pedal. From what little we observed, there is a very good mix of business present which is great to see. So many other destination shopping areas are suffering vacancies and closed businesses. I imagine that parking is not such a mess during the day or perhaps on weeknights and yes, this was the day after New Years so more people were probably out and about. Still, had I really understood what the parking situation was like, I would have made reservations for another night. And it wasn't any better when we left at 7pm either.

There's plenty of places to shop and plenty of places to eat and probably fits with budgets of all different sizes. It has the staples that you tend to see at other outlet malls and centers but have unique eateries and shops as well. During this time of year (November), there's also an ice rink that lots of people seem to enjoy. Some family wanted to go to Sephora and man it was packed! Which is not surprising, since we were there on the busy shopping day of the year. I got to do some other browsing at J Crew. It was a short trip overall, but I can easily see people spending hours here if they needed to do some serious shopping. Came here with family because they wanted to do some shopping on Black Friday. It was really hectic as you would expect. The parking situation was pretty crazy and it took a while of driving around and luck to get a parking spot.

The anchor tenant is Safeway, located toward the back of the shopping center. That is where much of the traffic comes from and results in difficulty finding parking if you're planning to patronize the other businesses in the center. Another big draw is Starbucks, which is situated directly at the front of the plaza, and which always seems to be packed full of customers, both inside and outside. Some of the shopping center's businesses are located on the second floor of the two-story building that is occupied by nine tenants. If you enjoy going to dive bars, Farrington's is a popular watering hole for the locals, located on the ground floor next to the two-story building. There are many eateries among the tenants within the center: + Nation's Giant Hamburgers + Mountain Mike's Pizza + Taqueria Los Gallos Express + Plaza Cafe + Matsu Sushi + MAI ZO Taiyaki + Thai Osha + Orange Leaf + Milk Tea Lab In addition, there are several lifestyle tenants as well: + Skincare by Hope + TJ Salon and Spa + New Spring Day Spa Plus, there are some essential tenants: + SAS Shoes + Diablo Trophies & Awards + GMG Cleaners + Union Bank At the far end of the shopping center, in its own free standing building, are a few more tenants: + Trendy Nails Spa + Pleasant Hill Dental + Chase Bank + GOLDSMITH

Lazy Dog and US Bank - I'm not so sure if those are anything you need to come here for. Benihana? Thats once and done. Seen it once - thats more than enough - just like those corny Hallmark movies. Security makes a big deal if you wander from The Willows to Veranda - don't do that. Thats a no no... just like sitting on the furniture at Macys.

It was a like a big picnic for the community. It had an electric vibe. The live music was great. There were food tents lined up with different cuisines and other vendors. I decided to stop by the Asian Snow Ice tent and ordered their Mango icee. It was refreshing. I will be back.

Service was ok. waited in line for what felt like 8 tomorrows. only two cash registers open but all the cash register number lights were on. The Manager on Duty clearly saw the check-out line was already snaking around the corner and she pretended to not notice. not sure how this store works but I was always under the impression Managers also help out with check-out when needed. ‍maybe I'm naive to continue to still think this. but if that's the case and Management doesn't help out at cash wrap when the line is consistently building to check-out,... that's a horrible plan of management and good way to lose customers bc Lord knows no one wants to be standing in long line waiting for forever and 6mos to pay for their merch KNOWING there's only to cash registers open and all three are doing returns and repurchases at the very same time. great knowing and seeing the manager on site just walked up and down the cash wrap pretending to look busy and then staring at the check-out line for a few seconds and then go back to pacing. other than that, a new cash register opened and the young man who was our cashier was very kind and very thorough with his customer service!
