Gone are the days when we used to kill time in Food Courts and browsing the aisles at Sam Goody and Tower of Records. We visited this mall while attending a basketball tournament. The team decided since we had a 3 hour window between our next game, we should stroll the mall, get our steps in. As loving teen parents, we agreed. This mall is very well kept. They offer a mix old and new stores. Hollister, American Eagle, Dillards, Victoria's Secret, PacSun. An oldie but goodie, JC Penney. A major issue for me during this visit, was the air conditioning. It's over 80 degrees in Greensboro, get the HVAC tech please. Aside from that, we had a lovely shopping experience.

The Four Seasons Town Centre is a mall in Greensboro, NC. It is near the Greensboro Coliseum and…read moreKoury Convention Center. There is plenty of parking at the mall. Four Seasons Town Centre is three stories with a lot of stores. The mall felt open with the three stories, and you could see the stores above. There were elevators and escalators to reach the other floors. The skulights allowed natural light inside. The mall was busier than I expected for a weekday. Dillards and JCPenney are the main anchors, and there are smaller stores like American Eagle and Bath and Body Works. I didn't see many empty storefronts, but I just stayed on the first level. I didn't want to walk too much with my knee.

Nonetheless, I…read morearrived and was immediately greeted by a nice lady who told me to let her know if I needed anything. I continued to walk around and look and saw several staff working diligently. I asked a young lady for assistance and she answered my question but when I needed to be fitted she informed me she was off (it was nice of her to help me the first time) and quickly found someone to help me. This is when I met Ms. Fee who helped me get fitted in a few bras, told me the sales, and made additional suggestions when they didn't have my size in what I was looking for. She was so nice and patient and made my dreadful bra shopping experience much more pleasurable. She had a big smile, worked quickly, and checked on me several times. My check out experience went well too. I had forgotten my wallet at home so it was helpful that they had Apple Pay as a payment option. Overall, this was a great experience as I usually have to wait to get bras when I go out of town.

As soon as I knew I was moving to Greensboro, I looked for some of my favorite national chains and…read morefound them right here. The first place worth mentioning is REI. I usually park nearby, peruse the garage sale items, then go on a stroll around the whole shopping center. While I do like Whole Foods and will go there for certain specialty items, I tend to spend a little less at the gigantic Harris Teeter. There's a huge selection of clothing stores, you can get a legit (if pricey) massage at Hand and Stone, get your haircut, see a movie, and grab a great dinner from a wide range of restaurant options. This might be the most upscale shopping center in town.

In the 80s and 90s, the mall we went to the most in Greensboro was Four Seasons Mall (now Four…read moreSeasons Town Centre). It went downhill and beginning in the 2000s, we went to Friendly Center instead. This has been a general trend in America where people have shifted from going to traditional indoor malls to outdoor malls, some integrated with mixed-use developments and/or repurposed sites. Funny thing is Friendly Center has been around since 1957 and Four Seasons 1974. Both have changed over the years, for better or for worse. I came here multiple times with friends and family in 2008 and 2009. With my friends, we'd go to stores like REI, Great Outdoor Provision Co, and Barnes & Noble. It was around these years that I picked up a MacBook for my mom from the Apple Store. She returned several times for One to One trainings on how to use various Apple devices. Since 2018, I've been going to Friendly Center for Schiffman's Jewelers, for the most part. That's because I got my wife's engagement ring and wedding band from Schiffman's and have returned for inspections and cleanings. We returned just a few weeks ago to see Frances, who just celebrated 45 years at Schiffman's. Last month, I accompanied my wife and sister to Sephora and Anthropologie. Other brands that were or still are of interest to me at Friendly Center include Brooks Brothers and lululemon. There are also a Whole Foods Market and Williams-Sonoma. Friendly Center was sort of patchworked together over the years, so the design and routing aren't ideal and getting around can be confusing. It would be nice if there were maps of the property on-site, but we didn't see any during our recent visit. Also, at the time of writing this review, the map on their website is down. "Couldn't fetch map data." https://friendlycenter.com/directory Depending on what section of Friendly Center you're in, it's sometimes better to get back in your car and drive to another store than it is to walk. This is because of the awkward, inefficient layout and lack of sidewalks. Again, not ideal. The brands are the draw. Check out Friendly Center on Facebook and Instagram at the links below. The mall is currently active on these platforms. FB: https://www.facebook.com/FriendlyCenter IG: https://www.instagram.com/shopfriendlycenter/

It has the feel of TJ Maxx or Marshall. That can be nice sometimes, but I personally wouldn't drive to it again. It does have a really large collection, especially of shirts and pants. I did find that the type of "look" seemed to target a different demographic, so I had trouble finding clothes that I liked. When I looked at the tags, most of the clothing was made in China though, so I'm not sure how long it will last. There were a couple of sections with actual Dillards brands, and they were nicer (in my opinion), but then the prices were more like going to the Mall, so I don't really have a need to drive there. If I lived in High Point, I'd probably visit from time to time, but it's not worth the visit from Winston.

They had a lot of racks full of clothes. Surprisingly all of it was very neat. I rated this a 3 because it wasn't my cup of tea, but I can imagine folks who like to pick through racks of clothing would find this place a hidden gem. Plus none of the clothing were my style. I saw ladies with carts full of clothing. The store had great deals and they were loading up. It is attached to an abandoned mall so the visuals are very old and dated. There is plenty of parking and lots of room that you aren't on top of each other. Those who like to dig for treasure. Have fun exploring!
