I met the friendly owner and some of his staff. I went ahead and got the recommended Philly Cheesesteak. As a Philly native, I definitely prefer a delicious cheesesteak with a fresh roll and good quality beef; you did that, Capriotti's! Online ordering is available, and discounts are available when you sign up to receive Capriotti's text notifications. Great affordable menu, I will be back.

The once-thriving Colonial Park Mall is now relegated to one major store anchor, Boscov's, a few…read moreopen stores, and self-service kiosks. Nevertheless, as a dead mall, it's a wonderful place to walk for a safe, climate-controlled, traffic-free place for daily exercise, especially if the weather is rainy or very cold outside. I walk around four times the perimeter of the mall and get in about 9,000 steps according to my Oura ring. It's a great aerobic activity because the uneven corridors add variety in elevation. The mall office is still open, and I believe the mall security is available if service is needed.

A tomb for local nostalgia, plagued by ghosts of its dead social relevance, the Colonial Park Mall…read moreis a hollow shell. It is an empty, echoing chamber of dusty vaults that once held great names and popular brands that drew hundreds of shoppers per day. This once proud social hub would be horrifyingly quiet if not for the pop music piped into the empty spaces, the upbeat sounds distorting as they echo off the tile and concrete surfaces, blending the sing-song melody of a angelic spirit into a lost soul fighting its final descent into madness. Yes, the Colonial Park Mall is dead, but remains haunted, one might say possessed by a small community of vendors peddling curious wares and sinister services. And also cell phone stores. You would be forgiven to think the random, lone stranger walking by is the spirit of a former shopper who once used the mall for their daily walk and expired near the old Radio Shack and now doomed to tour its remains for all eternity. The mall is policed by cemetery watchmen, glassy-eyed custodians ready to expel loiterers and those without a shopping agenda. They wander through the ruins left behind by pretzel makers and shoe stores and clothiers and other shoe stores and Hickory Farms and even more shoe stores. And they converge every hour at an empty center court where children once gathered as a wise and cheerful Santa Claus would grant audiences and wishes from 10 to 11 and again from 1 to 3 on Saturdays during the holidays. Gone are the mallrats, their socializing now digital. Gone are the great savings events and sports memorabilia shows and special musical guests. Gone are the anchor stores like Sears and Bon Ton. Only Boscov's survives to give this empty space meaning. The mall itself is a parasite grafted to its flank. Come and peer into the past as thoughts of the post-apoclaypse rise from the vibe. To stand inside this dying space is to know the meaning of loneliness. To step beyond the threshold of the jubilant Shoe Carnival is to be stripped of all joy and hope.

There are ceiling signs hanging showing different sections of the store (eg. Food, Furniture, Lawn & Garden, etc). I spent over 1.5 hours just looking around and there was still half the store remaining I didn't have time to check out!! I've heard the items in stock vary (as they buy overfill from other places at a steep discount). Today there were a bunch of very cute colorful pastel mugs selling for 99 cents. They also had Squid Game themed mugs for $4 and a Yoda one for $2. I was able to find a pickleball racquet set here as well (cheaper than on Amazon). All in all, interesting finds if you have the time to wander around! Cashiers are friendly

This sits in a nice plaza and was rather large on the inside. One of the biggest locations I have been in for a while. There was ample selection and if I had the time I would have spent all day browsing the shelves. I did come across one thing that caught my eye, but I didn't have the time to waste to see if it worked. I came across a VCR and was kind of stoked about it. I picked it up and was going to try and test it out, but there was no outlets around to even plug it in to see if it worked. When I looked on the back of the VCR it was nearly a relic. It was an older model that used RCA jacks, not even sure my tv has the hookups at that point. Finding nothing else of interest, I was on my way.
