Mills Shopping Center — Attraction in Rancho Cordova

While I have patronized this strip mall the past 31 years, this is my 1st review 12/'19: -- While an older center, the owner has resurfaced the parking lot several times in 31 years, as well did a complete facade structure modernization about 10 years ago. -- It is anchored now by Viva Market (used to be Raley's) with Sears Outlet, Planet Fitness, DD Discounts, Dollar Tree, and Salvation Army holding down the other large anchors. -- A handful of smaller shops have remained consistent pretty much the entire time--billiards, KS Dry Cleaners/Water, Callen Pool Supply, nails, Round Table Pizza and Allen Donuts. -- A few newcomers in recent years: rugby/soccer gear, Mexican bakery/deli, Mexican ice cream/dessert restaurant, and western gear. -- A U.S. Mail box still gets one pickup daily at 11a.

Multiple free-standing buildings also run across the entire front of the mall's parking lot. They too have undergone modernization cosmetics inside & out over the years. -- Long standing--Carl's Jr., McDonalds, See's Candies, and combo A&W/KFC. -- The bank and formal Mexican restaurant have left with relative newcomers moving in--escape room (entertainment), dental service, hair salon, Starbucks, and Subway (both restaurants have drive-thru's).

The entire complex is regularly patrolled by car/foot mall cops. While the overall feeling is safe, there's still the daily presence of vagabonds and teens after school who can monopolize the few scattered seating areas installed at the last big mall remodel.

Overall, this community strip mall adequately meets the needs of the residents it serves day-in...

Eew if I privately buy new cellular phones from places like Amazon or offer up or Facebook market place and cricket refuses to insure said devices yet having never received an "upgrade" from cricket you'd think I'd be eligible, when I go to buy one of there shit devices they make me pay full retail stating that every time I put my SIM card in a new phone thats an upgrade even tho they had literally nothing to do with my devices. I've been a customer since 2015 and I'm about to take my business to t mobile if I port my number I can get a free iPhone or decent Galaxy. Up yours cricket. Absolutely no offense to the staff that works here personally. Because even tho crickets upgrade policy for the byop program is trash. The staff was very polite in informing me...

Mills Shopping Center is a horrible strip mall of mostly shuttered stores. The owner of the building does not maintain the facility and the city does not enforce any city maintenance laws. There are homeless all over the property at all times of the day. Human waste on the walkways and trash everywhere. The whole strip mall needs to be demolished after years of poor maintenance and lack of accountability by the out of Country owners or...
