    There is really almost no reason to actually go INSIDE of this mall, the only businesses that seem…read moreto be open and are available only via the interior are Mi cafecito, a t-shirt store, a record store, a tax preparation company, and a juice/snack stand. All other businesses have either access via an exterior door, or in the case of at least one business, you can ONLY access them through the exterior. (The interior gate was closed and locked) Many of the businesses that were hanging on here have apparently moved, with signs giving you directions to their new address. Even the workforce connection and City of Fresno offices that were here are now closed. A renovation was started next to the Caltrans building, it has drab boring grey carpet and walls, but it makes it MAYBE 175 feet into the building, and then reverts back to the original 70's decor. (Which obviously I love, and I think they should have absolutely kept it.) The lights in the main concourse were mostly turned off, and the only people besides myself seemed to be Caltrans employees walking around on lunch, a homeless man charging his phone, and a dude kicking back on one of the benches, chowing down on slim jim's and listening to music full blast from his phone's speaker. It was really sad to see this place in such a state of abandon, though surprisingly I didn't see any evidence of the ceiling collapsing or any other things you might typically see from buildings in this state. There are supposedly some apartments going in here upstairs, but I see absolutely no evidence of this. It was announced early last year and was supposed to take 18-24 months, but I see absolutely no preparation being done, and I will believe it when I see it. (I would also think twice about renting an apartment in a failing mall, where they are banking on the apartments to bring in more businesses.) All in all, it was an interesting trip just seeing the old mall designs that I loved, but sad to see a mall I loved as a kid so empty and abandoned.

    I don't believe this place is going to make a comeback as a mall front anytime soon. Considering…read morethe planned renovations what felt like it's going to reach the 10 year mark. It definitely has softened my expectations on what it plans to be. I hear it may be repurposed for apartments which may be a good idea to bring some life back to the community in that area. It heavily depends on its investors and what corporate agenda lies in the plays it decides to make for the future of this location. I come every 2-3 times a year to see if there's any updates to renovations/storefronts. Other than that, the mall culture is dead there.

    It is an indoor swap meet. It is open from 10am to 6pm and closed only on Tuesday, the hours posted…read morefor the mall page is dated (some independent retailers may close early for the day at times, however). There are several independent businesses/shops inside. There is a wig shop (suite M-33), shoe stand for athletic shoes (front left area) and even a hair salon (Jasmine's Beauty Salon: M-6) also for men & women. There are several clothing shop/suites that can more than likely clothe the entire family. You want undergarments for men & women? They got it (M-32) ! There is even a business that sells men's clothing, provide silkscreening for t-shirt designs and sell jewelry. Did I mention jewelry? There are well over 3 jewelry independent businesses to get your "bling" on. As for the outside area, it has it's own personality. It is in downtown Fresno, youuu knnnow what to expect. Or, maybe not. Once you step out of the front entrance there is a place that sells women's formalwear (Femme Formalwear: very nice owner & employee) and a place that sells Chinese food (China Express: the owner and workers are also very nice). BTW, you are about a 2 minute walk or 500 feet from the nearest brewery-beergarden just down the street. How good is that? At a time when you can be lazy and just order on the phone, I think the actual effort to shop in person is what makes us human- - - human interaction. Most importantly these shops probably don't have online ordering nor delivery. Business have been slow or declining overall in Downtown Fresno. But, with lock down it has been really bad more than ever before. Let's think globally but act locally, please support local businesses, spread the wealth and generate some taxes for education and other services for the area.

    I've been living in Fresno all my life and I've been shopping in the Fulton Mall for years. More…read morerecently it has come to my surprise that with the new opening of the Fulton Street renovations the stores, the sidewalks, and the vendors have changed. After shopping for two weeks I found the best selection of formal gowns and dresses in fresno here and Some of the best prices for gold and customize jewelry are in the Mammoth Mall. In two months I have purchased party supplies, A Texido for my son 2 formal gowns for myself, 2 gold necklaces customized written in Armenian my children's name. I just keep coming back because I know they have what I need. I found so many other options it is very specific though if you're coming to look for certain things. There are not as many homeless people walking around I see a lot of gentrified younger professionals strolling down the streets which is something I have never seen in the past 20 years. There are shops for jeans, I also seen a china express, and there's even a little fruit shop to eat at. To my surprise the Fulton entertainment district is rising successfully.

    This place was okay..but then the landlord(s) raised the rent on existing stores, causing at least…read moremy favorite Vietnamese place to go out of business. And then the City began to cut down all the lovely old pine and other trees, leaving no shade for passersby and no shelter for the squirrels. Now the squirrels scatter around aimlessly between your feet and the playgrounds in the center of the mall where moms would take their little ones to play..well those are gone right now too. Construction has also made a royal mess of the place. It is a feat alone if you can navigate the "do not enter"," all businesses open during construction," and "no parking" signs. I know it will take a while for those in charge to be able to realize their dream for what this place may become some day...right now, it is a menagerie and a mess of construction, forced out or dying businesses, and displaced families who used to allow their kids to play along the mall but now must guard their children from falling tree branches. I really hope the City puts in more urban parks around the area to ensure these citizens are properly cared for.

Cheaper than a ticket to Mexico City, folks...and about as authentic as visiting San Miguel de Allende. Loved the thrifts, Mexican markets, and quince dress shops. Seriously, though...gorgeous Art Deco and mid-Century architecture awaits you at the Fulton Mall.
