I rarely go to the mall these days, and Brookfield Square feels a bit like a ghost town with so…read moremany closed shops. There are only a handful of stores left inside, like JCPenney. The outer-facing stores, the food court, and of course the dedicated mall walkers seem to be what keep the space active. That said, I was pleasantly surprised to discover the Saturday farmers market. It's definitely a great reason to visit during the winter months. There were lots of food and craft vendors, and it brought some much-needed energy and community feel back into the mall.

Second week of operation (06/06/26) and they call this a farmers market. Roughly 10 vendors that…read moreare Non-Farm related. Plus they are scheduled on Saturday's during prime outdoor farmers market hours. To me it's more of a retail market. Plus side is ample parking and you're able to check out the secret market stores in the mall. Located close to the now empty food court

I would just like to comment that there is absolutely nothing we can do at this point. Online…read moreshopping has sailed a long long time ago and there's nothing anyone can do. Hence malls even in the most beautiful setting, such as this one, was pretty much doomed to go under. There is however a new renaissance coming to Milwaukee and it looks very promising. Hopefully it can jump start this shopping center. I would totally love to shop here if there is any shopping at all. Maybe in the near future. Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope this helps with your decision making experience. Enjoy your awesome yelptastic day!!!

The Avenue, formally Grand Avenue Mall, has really had a face lift the past couple years. Its great…read moreto see what was a failing mall/glorified foot court a couple years ago, now a local attraction for locals and visitors. The Avenue has a lot of history behind it, once the only major indoor shopping facility in Milwaukee proper and the one time largest food court in Wisconsin, its great to see the thoughtful re-vamp of a historic part of Milwaukee. The newly re-branded Avenue is considered a shopping center, shared office space, and apartment building. While there are few retail stores, and plans for one or two more, it is not really a shopping center. Just on the other side of the building is a bustling food court wit many great options from local vendors. The many retail stores at one point have been converted to apartments, a creative way of keeping the historic look of the mall space. The space continues to have more potential and its great to see the history that still remains.

It's now listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Milwaukee's oldest center of commerce and housing. It's now home to more than 400 businesses & is a hub for artistic activity. The Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, Artist Resource Network, Odessa, School of Fashion, and the Broadway theater center are here. We previously explored the Milwaukee Public Market & the Riverwalk, which are considered within the Third Ward.

I stopped here with a friend on a whim on a Tuesday. The signs outside said everything was $2, but…read morewhen we got inside, we were so excited to find out it was 25 cents instead! I'm not sure if that was a one day ordeal or if that's the new regular price on Tuesdays. Everything's thrown into large wooden bins, so I recommend wearing some gloves, just because some items may be broken and the bins in general get dirty fast. Likewise, if you don't tolerate dust well, this is not the shop for you. Most of the stock during our visit was holiday stock from department stores (mainly Walmart) that never sold. We were able to find some good finds though! This shop is definitely worth the visit if you're around the area and have some time to kill to dig.

Three stands are open and they just sell used stuff. The Asian stand has been selling lipgloss from 2012. (Checked the expiration) most of her makeup is expired or damaged. The only pretty thing she sells is the rhinestone shirts but the product is so horrible all the rhinestones fall off. There's a security but I noticed his uniform are the ones from Mexico.....not an actual black SECURITY uniform. Pretty sure he doesn't have a valid Security license. The lady who "sews" only sews holes on pants. Everything else is out of her work she stated "I don't fix zippers because people are picky and get mad at me for not doing it right" I than said so you aren't an actual seamstress? She said no she doesn't know how to sew just fixes small holes. This place is mediocre and needs to be shut down so another store can be built

I normally find what I'm looking for at a good price and in addition I find stuff I'm not looking for. Yes the store could be cleaner but when you consider some of the clientele it's no wonder it's hard to keep the place clean. Customers can be inconsiderate letting things fall to the floor and not picking them up etc. The windows need to be cleaned. They always seem dirty.
