Enjoyed being Santa Claus at The North Star mall for 1/2 a day. It's a beautiful setting and the entire staff of Elves were great to work with.
The mall is alive with so many different stores and the watch repair guy near the Santa set is a great guy. He new what was wrong with my watch and he fixed it for free. His smile was like a Santa Claus smile contagious and full of joy.
As I walked around the food court, it was good to see such a great variety of restaurants for every patron to choose from.
I would gladly go back and shop and work the santa set. Except for me , takes away from the Magic of Santa and the fun with the mall using multiple individuals work dressed up as Santa Claus. I prefer to be in a location where I am the only Santa Claus. My beard is very neat and clean. As I walked through the mall many people commented about my natural beard and how beautiful it is.
The owner of the Perfumeria store she has a heart of gold and she's is sweet and kind. The customer service in her store is fantastic.
You will find plenty of free parking around the North Star mall and I didn't feel like it was difficult to navigate the parking lot or the inside of the North Star mall.
As Santa Claus as time permits I have taught many children the secret of how to be on the nice list all year long. And I teach children to always make sure that they have mom and dad's permission for all wishes on their list. You see it's a matter of respect for the Authority of the parents.
I also suggest that children will change from year to year. Sometimes they accept Santa and other years they don't accept Santa. So take your small children to visit with Santa Claus early in the year. So Santa can work with them and gain their confidence. This will help you attain the best pictures with Santa Claus. As far as people coming to the malls early in the season they will also shop more helping the malls stores increase their sales. It's a win win situation for everyone. I tell parents that as far as this Santa Claus I am very strong family oriented and I want to help children learn to honor and respect their parents or whomever is the Authority in their lives. It will bring much blessings and good things into their lives over the years to come.
In years gone by every Santa movie Santa Claus has people sitting on his lap. Unfortunately in this day and age people get offended by the idea. So I am not allowed to offer my knees as a place for people to sit. But many people ask me to sit on my lap and I just play along. It's especially funnier when the larger ones sit down on my lap. While the rest of the family or friends poke fun and laugh at this.
So through out the years shop at the North Star mall. Your dreams will come true.
This mall is clean and...
   Read moreNorth Star Mall is a classic in the city and definitely one of my favorites. It offers a fantastic variety of stores, making it the perfect spot when you want to grab a drink, snack or coffee, do some shopping, or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll and some window shopping. The food court is also quite good, with a solid selection of restaurants that cater to different tastes.
Parking is generally ample, which is great, but be warned: during holidays, special events, or weekends, it can get really crowded. If youâre not a fan of bustling crowds, this might not be the place for you. However, if youâre looking to grab a snack, spend time with family, or hang out with friends, this mall is spot on.
Thereâs a wide range of shops, from clothing and shoe stores to electronics and collectible items. The only downside Iâve noticed is that, even with plenty of parking, finding a spot can be a challenge when itâs super busy. Also, Iâve had some experiences with the vendors in the middle of the aisles who can be a bit too pushy. They donât seem to pick up on cues that youâre not interested, and it can take several âno, thank yousâ before they get the message.
On the bright side, North Star Mall is an excellent place to unwind if youâre not into nightlife or late-night outings. Sure, it can be noisy and packed like any mall, but if that doesnât bother you, itâs definitely...
   Read moreMy first experience was a good one but my shrimp were super undercooked which they fixed for me when I asked them too. My family loved it the first time we went, I even told all my friends about how good they were so they can join me which were quite a few people. The second time we went there my shrimp were undercooked just like the first time, the butter had no flavor and was extremely watery as if they tried to stretch it than I asked for garlic which wasnât in my boil so I had to pour out the sauce, than I bought some garlic and created a sauce of my own with the seasoning they have, my potatoes wasnât cooked all the way through, my husbands shrimp was also raw. My friends who all order crabs sauce was spicy when all four of them asked for non-spicy sauce. So Iâm writing this review because the store does have potential, Instead of rushing let the food cook so that Customers can enjoy it. Like I sad before They were great the first time so I suggest they keep that same energy all the time and their business will be booming. I also noticed they were low on staff the second time I came so that may be another reason but that reason shouldnât fall on the customers to where they have a bad experience.
The sauce is everything in a business, if they perfect that they can never go wrong. But God bless and hopefully they can get better and be better...
