Visited this small mall recently and it's a mixed bag of experiences! With a few luxury brands, it strikes a balance between moderate pricing and deals. The ongoing construction, though, made access a bit wonky, but once you navigate that, it's a bustling spot, especially popular with teenagers.

The cleanliness is commendable, and the outdoor fountain adds a serene touch, making it a perfect spot for a water tour or unwinding after a hectic day. Bonus points for being pet-friendly - it's heartening to see people bring their furry friends without any issues. Security presence is notable, creating a safe and comfortable shopping atmosphere.

On the downside, the mall could improve inclusivity by adding plus-size-friendly shops. However, the variety of stores is impressive, ranging from jewelry and electronics to clothes and mini pop-up shops. The infamous Apple store is a tech-lover's haven, and the small Gamestop offers fantastic deals, especially for Pokemon cards.

The ongoing upgrades in the food area promise a more diverse culinary experience, even though the fast-food scene has seen some comings and goings. The addition of a new entryway, providing more space for shops, is a welcome change, adding to the overall appeal.

Special mention to Newbury Comics - a great niche store that stands out among the diverse retail options. Despite a few limitations, this mall offers a well-rounded shopping experience with something for everyone.
