Almeda Mall — Attraction in Houston

It’s sad seeing this mall go the way of most retail brick and mortars. The mall itself has a GREAT location, and plenty of parking, but that’s because most of the anchor stores are LONG GONE. JC Penny which anchored the south became a Burlington Coat Factory but has been vacant now the past 2 years. Palais Royale is now 3.6.5, and the Picadilly Cafeteria which was a neighborhood favorite is also gone. The lone anchor store now is Macy’s, former Foley’s, and it’s hanging on by a hair.

You will spend many wasted days, your vehicle wear and lots of gas on your own dime, if you follow the guidance of these ego driven people that work here. They love to pat themselves on the back if they get you into someone else's social program, which Houston has very many. Do yourself a favor and go to the Texas City office. They try harder and are sincere, by not wasting your time so much, especially if you are a...

"Toyz store" located at 555 Almeda Mall, suite 712 has the worst service ever they sold me defective light up shoes paid $65.00 for the shoes and they stopped working in three days the policy of the store says if defective toy within the 7 days of receipt in original box bring back for exchange, well we did we only had the shoes for 3 days and the guy there gave us hell! he said No Refunds, Exchanges and that No warranty for the Item. We explained that the item stopped working after the three days that my daughter was able to use them only once. when taken the item back they told us we had to pay for repair because the item needed repair, this is a Lie the shoe was defective and they just wanted more money. We are Unhappy customers and will spread the word out to our friends and family as everyone wanted to buy these shoes. DO NOT BUY FROM...
