This is a nice town center style mall. I really like that style as the vibe is generally much nicer…read morethan an indoor mall. And this particular mall is one that is nicer than most in this category. Accessibility is good and there is plenty of parking. The restaurants and cinema make it a particularly nice attraction. The retail also fits our proclivities very well with nice specialty shops . There's a Trader Joe's and some other favorites like Old Navy, Carter's, Michael's and Von Mauer. It's a pleasant place to spend a day, especially if the weather's nice.

As an accessable place for someone in a wheelchair (especially alone) this mall isn't user…read morefriendly. All doors for stores open outward and can't be opened by someone in a wheelchair. I literally had to wait outside of two different stores for someone to either come out or notice someone in a wheelchair was trying to get in. Also, way too little handicap parking places! I feel at least 80% of the spaces down the middle corridor should be handicapped parking. Those without a different capability can park in the lots around the perimeter of the mall. Another point, sloped ramps are too steep to wheel yourself up and the turn radius of ramps isn't sufficient for wheelchair users. Pained Tree and Marshals are the only stores with auto doors, wide aisles and ease of maneuvering once inside. Be better, don't just do the bare minimum for ADA compliance...ask people who have different capabilities how your mall should look and how you can be better.

I loved strolling through the shops here! I stopped in on a beautiful Saturday afternoon while…read moremaking my way around downtown. Shopping local is so important to many of the small businesses in town and the City Exchange Shops provides a great platform for those small shops. There are roughly 6-7 shops ranging from popcorn, bath soaps, boutique clothing, decor, beaded jewelry and a juice bar. I enjoyed stopping into each of them, perusing through the items and talking with the people working. If you are looking for a cute little place to shop local, this is it!

I like the idea of this place.

You probably should read someone else's review if you want to know about the Vera Bradley Outlet…read moreSale. This is because I'm not the hugest fan of Vera Bradley products, and I feel like you need to be a huge fan in order to appreciate it. Also, this sale is isn't as sale-y as people think it is. It's kind of like shopping at Kohl's: Yes, the tag says you're saving 75%, but what does that mean, really? The price is always marked way up. But people like to feel like they're getting a bargain, and so these types of sales exist. I'll tell you what I do know, though, after visiting the sale. I think if you're OK not being the very first person there, you should visit the sale in the afternoon. Get there after the initial crush of people. This sale happens once a year, and it's extremely popular. But when I visited in the afternoon, I was able to walk right in without having to wait in line. It was rather pleasant! Not having to deal with people is always pleasant. And there was still a lot of stuff to choose from. I mean, there's a lot of Vera Bradley stuff. You will find bags and purses, luggage, clothing, home goods, kitchenware and even shoes. It's all Vera, all the time, all in a 100,000 square foot space. The people who work/volunteer at the sale are super friendly and enthusiastic, so there's definitely an energy about the sale. If you're into Vera Bradley, you definitely want to visit the sale, if only to see the wide variety of things available.

I have only been to this sale once, on the last day. So my review can only reflect that. I had a…read morepleasant experience with virtually no wait time to check out. Thurs and Fri you must pay $5 for a ticket and choose a specific time for your "session" to shop. Sat and Sun there is only 1 session for the day and no admission charge. Plus, on Sun they start marking items down (even lower). I shopped for 2 hours and had time to look at every item and then waited in line maybe 15 min or less. Everyone working there is very friendly and helpful. Check the newspaper the week before event for a coupon to use at checkout.

It is also where a Hallmark store is located, a great place to find gifts or home decor for you or a loved one. Also has a Best Buy I do NOT recommend you buy from.

The store selection here, for me, just isn't anything to write home about.

Amazing deals, and fun place to check out and get some early Christmas shopping done. As in any store, you just need to know pricing on items, and what your looking for, especially nowadays. Overall, grateful I had a chance to stop by this past Saturday October 19, 2024. From toys, books, housewares, health & beauty, Christmas, Halloween seasonal, something for everyone. Be sure to check this place out, as locals know, its only open for a short period of time. So if your in from out of town visiting, like I was its worth the experience. Loved the kindness, helpfulness of all staff that I had the pleasure to speak with and ask questions. Interesting tip: The nice lady at the door, where you walk in, and provide you with a clean cart, and entry drawing mentioned; how Darlington does warehouse shopping throughout the year, prior to open this location.

Von Maur is kinda like a Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale store...but better. Had a lovely experience for my first time here. Service is a solid 10/10! My review is for Teresa and Jill. Teresa helped me connect with Jill from alterations to do the measurements. I'm ordering a custom Vietnamese dress (Ao Dai) and needed a lot of measurements done. Both Jill and Teresa spent time with me to do measurements and write them down. They're both literal angels. Highly recommend going to them if you need assistance with anything. Specifically, Jill can help with altering blouses, pants, sleeves etc. Also, shout out to Christy for welcoming me to Fort Wayne and helping me get some cologne. Thank you ladies for making my upcoming wedding plans a little easier. #WINNING

But here you can ride a bicycle, since the roads are wide enough. And with the connecting bicycle trails to Fort Wayne. Sorry Glen-brook you blew it. Lastly, the feather-in-the-cap for Meadowbrook is it's close proximity to the railroad tracks. People can ride them until the locomotives slow down right before arriving or leaving the railroad yards. Get off the cars and walk fifty yards? Then they can shop or rest, even camp out (in the wooded area between the tracks and the mall). Until the next morning and catch the train going the other direction, all for free!
