The Outlet at West Oaks Mall — Attraction in Houston

I am not sure what in the world was going on, but if you have ever seen the movie I Am Legend with Will Smith… I swear when you walk through this mall this is exactly what it feels like. It was a ghost town. There were a few stores open in the mall, but maybe just one person in them, and that was the employee. There was nobody walking in the mall. We walked through the store Crazy Boss to go into the mall, and we went over to the outlet area which was an old Dillard's. It was packed with all kinds of clothes and things, not necessarily the best prices either, but there was nobody walking around in the store. However, when when my family and I exited the store, pulling a wagon with my one year old in it, a security guard or whatever (loss prevention person) in regular clothing stopped us and asked if we paid for that wagon. My husband was annoyed, but he politely said, "Sir, this is our PERSONAL wagon... please go check your cameras if need be... but we toted our daughter in it upon entering, complete with her Moana blanket, diaper bag and toys, and here we are exiting. The man took a quick look from a distance and said, "Oh okay I see I see. Sorry." Maybe that's the most excitement he's gotten for a while. Imagine walking into an unpopular mall on a gloomy overcast Sunday, an hour before the entire mall opens… that's what it looks like in the mall. Desolate. Like a zombie apocalypse happened, and you're one of the few that have...

BEWARE. Yes they have a huge selection of prom dresses however when I was there shopping for a dress we were approached by a "security officer" telling us we had to leave because they were closing, we were told by one worker they closed at 7 which was odd because it was only 6:18, so we asked another person what time they closed their response was also 7, so we decided to just leave, we were in a completely empty parking lot, except 1 black SUV with tinted windows that was parked so close next to me that there was no way we could get In our car on one side, next thing u know "security officer" is walking straight towards us,we immediately got in car as soon as we could, and drove off, the whole experience.of the staff and security officer was so bizarre, moms and daughters going prom dress shopping beware of this location, thought it was really strange how I couldnt find fitting rooms until a lady came and unlocked a door that looked like it led to an employee room, once she unlocked it, it had a ton of normal looking dressing rooms I understand keeping rooms locked but I dont understand keeping the entire dressing...

Drove from Houston Heights to this almost abandoned mall after being told by my wife and son there was a Dillard's Outlet store with great prices. A year ago, they bought me a batch of awesome shirts for $3 apiece.

This year, my wife gave me a Dillard's card with $200 on it. Off we go, me and my son reach the mall and follow the signs to Dillard's Outlet. We go nuts on the low prices and gather a heap of clothes, especially my son.

My stuff totals $75 roughly and my son's pile brings the total to over $400.

He pulls a slew of it off to the side and now the total is $235. Okay, cool, here is a Dillard's gift card for $200 and my Dillard's card for the balance.

"We don't take those."

"We're not Dillard's, we're, The Outlet".

Beware, the mall road signs have not been changed. The inventory...
