Gateway Mall — Attraction in Bismarck

I think it is an appropriate time now that the AMC is shut down to critique this mall.

Since as long as I can remember, this mall has always played second fiddle to Kirkwood Mall. The only reason why I'd ever go to this mall was Conlin's (which has since moved down on Broadway), and very rarely AMC (which is shut down now).

The interior of the mall is outdated and empty. Most of the stores inside the mall are either locally owned or completely empty. When I went inside in February 2020, the mall looked like it was straight out of 1985.

AMC, Sears and basically any other store worth going to in Gateway Mall is gone. The only stores in there have competition or outdated or just flat out terrible. The only place I'd ever consider going to at the Gateway Mall is Planet Fitness, even though you can just go to the YMCA or the Wellness Center in Mandan.

Malls are an outdated relic of the past, and I think it shows in Gateway Mall. It's probably sad to people that have experienced Gateway Mall as a child, and grew to fall in love with the place, but honestly I never really cared about it in the first place.

I'm not sure what someone will do to this place, but I don't think Gateway Mall will last for another 5 years. It's unfortunate, but malls in general are on their way out (except for the Mall of America they have roller coasters)

EDIT: There is a clinic at the Gateway Mall, so here's a good plan: Destroy the mall, and keep the clinic. Make the extra space whatever (residential, more commercial, or...

Most polite management I've ever done business with. Gateway is giving Bismarck back it's original Blade Outlet formerly Black Hills Gold & Blade Outlet (Kirkwood mall) which is how you can find on the web. Or Black Hills Gold & Gift Outlet (Medora) on facebook. After hearing countless complaints about Kirkwood not allowing me to sell knives or any self defense items as I did for many years I felt the need to give back. Thank you to Gateway mall and all my customers that keep coming back year after year. Blade Outlet is back. For kirkwood to give my business away and allow someone to steal the clientele a business has built up for the last ten plus yrs is piss poor business ethics to say the least. So be careful they will do it to you too if someone will sign a longer lease then you. Opening...

I'm a truck driver passing through came here to workout shop and relax. And just cause I was there more then 24 hours they called a tow truck driver. This really sucks With Amazon taking over the whole retail business you think they like the fact that I at least spend 400 plus dollars in this mall. Instead they want to tow me away. Wow I hope Amazon does shut down these malls with managers on duty that see us as a threat. They sure as hell don't need our money. I will continue to shop Amazon and stop wasting my money across the United states malls that just keep kicking us out. Soon all these places will not exist and it will be all of the managers on duty that have shut down these malls. I gave it one star but I'll never come back here and will also warn...
