Dover Mall — Attraction in Dover

Depressingly small, and hardly anything to do in there. If you go during a weekday, there's a 95% chance that it'll look like a ghost town. Employees of the various stores usually look bored stiff just sitting there in limbo while almost nothing happens around them, which I don't fault them for at all. Even on most weekends that I end up going there, it's hardly populated at all, considering that it's a mall. Random small stores tend to come and go here at the blink of an eye, their Macy's location here is just outright closed down now (making the closest one all the way up at the Christiana Mall), the movie theater apparently just closed down for good on March 17th (making the Middletown or Milford theaters the next closest options, and again, taking away something at least vaguely decent in this content void of an area), and the parking lot is abysmal to navigate in (gods forbid it be raining, snowing, or simply too dark outside, or else you're going to be struggling to see the hardly-painted parking spaces... or the various potholes that dot the area).

Just another massive monument that stands as not much else besides a testament to how much of a rundown hole Dover is these days. If you can, I'd just go up to the Christiana Mall, instead (just don't go from there, back to here... it's a notable and disorienting step down, like that). That mall genuinely feels like an oasis in the "fun things to do" desert that is the state of Delaware, whereas the Dover Mall feels like a puddle in that same desert that's slowly but surely drying up. Which is really upsetting, since this mall used to actually be active and fun to be at ages ago, but now it's just a sad husk of what it used to be.

I'll genuinely be surprised if this mall is still up and running in any capacity within the next 5 to 10...

The stores were nice however I had a very bad experience with the staff when I and a freind of mine of the opposite gender used the family restroom together due to me having a medical issue and needing someone with me due to me fainting from it and it being very serious. The bad expeirence was a staff memeber who knocked on the door then opened the door while I was sick and using the restroom who then upon me and my friend exiting the restroom yelled at us that the restroom was for families and disabled people. When I explained that I was sick and thought I was going to pass out proceeded to say I need to walk myself into the girls restroom and if I faint that's her problem with no regaurd for me having a medical issue which I tried to explain to her multiple times and I felt humiliated because its hard enough having a medical issue and dealing with it in a public setting without having to explain it to a mall janitor who was disrespectful during the whole situation. I am not trying to be a Karen but I would have avoided going there id I knew I would be treated so poorly during a...

This mall could be better. I am starting to think that the owners have given up on this place, stores are closing left and right, yet no stores will move in because well, why would they? Have you seen the foot traffic?! It's dead in here! I wouldn't even open a kiosk for my business here. Go to Christiana, take some notes, and come back down and get to work. It's time to make this place what it once was. Now it's a shell of it's former self. The crepe place in here is the BOMB though, had them today and ugh, so worth the price. Delicious.

If the mall owners redo the entrance and get some more stores, it would really help. Either that or tear it down and build a new one. Because what is here now isn't going to last, and we...
