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.

Nice shopping center/ area that has lots of different stores. I think there's a good mix and I…read morebelieve this place may be a collection of mostly outlet brands. 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.

I brought in 6 pair of shorts WITH tags fully attached and asked if I could get store credit. Yes, I bought last year and pulled out my summer clothes... the shorts no longer fitted me. The manager showed me a size 10 pair of shorts (mine were all size 8) in white and said I can exchange for this item. I asked him, if you still carry the product and don't have any other colors, why can't I just get store credit... you still sell the product.! His answer was, this is what I have... and I told him what am I going to do with the other 5 pairs...? I took my shorts and left. More valuable in a tax write off than shopping here! Seriously, if the product is still in your store, why could I not just store credit? Terrible service! Will not return!

There is some interesting art work near Ikes in the center median. They really try to make things look good. The Mexican Feather grass is also very well maintained and trimmed for the winter - so it can make its comeback in the spring. 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. That lady will yell at you and tell you to sit on the chairs next to the toilets.

It's a family atmosphere and nice people. You can park on the streets or in the parking building for free. During this visit, I decided to check-out their Thursday's Music and Market event from 6:30pm-8:00pm. I was amazed how many families and dogs (on leash) having a fun time. 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.

Oak Hills Shopping…read more This is an area that caters to those living in the Bay Point/Pittsburg area. There always a large flow of people here from morning to evening. It's never been completely full where parking is impossible but on some hours of the day don't expect to find close parking to the store you want to go especially if you want to go to Safeway. People usually come here to go to Safeway. It's the only Safeway in town. The others are in Antioch and Concord. I feel like everyone in Pittsburg goes. No matter what hour it is freaking busy. What's around? Safeway as I mentioned, but there's also a Dollar Tree and a Rite Aid. We got Chase as the only bank there. A hair cut place is there. There's two Mexican restaurants, a Subway, Burger King, and a Round Table. It's a fairly good place for the surrounding neighborhoods. Never had an issue here regarding the safety of myself or my car.
