Fairview Town Center — Local services in Fairview

I suggested certain improvements/leases I think would help a half-dead center on Instagram, this was the reply I got “Thats not how it works unfortunately - we just dont open stores at shopping centers. They have to see the business sense of opening in a market. Those stores are not coming this far North of Dallas any time soon. We would love to have them - they do not believe there is enough business in suburban markets. You would do better to contact them and tell them you are no longer willing to drive to Dallas - they listen to consumers far more than potential landlords!” Such a condescending and unprofessional response that shows the kind of corruptness that is present within the management of this center. Management has no interest in competition - there’s three other centers within Allen that all do very well. Telling customers to cut all ties with businesses they shop at will not make them come to North Texas. It’ll decrease the presence of a demand from consumers this far north, and therefore make them even less likely to open businesses here. Telling me that “these stores will are not coming this far north of Dallas any time soon” is complete nonsense. Within recent years, certain businesses that used to be present at FTC relocated to nearby centers (Allen Outlets, Village at Allen, Watters Creek) and do very good business there. These stores will have more incentive to come to the area if demographics show a significant portion of business comes from this, and nearby Zip codes, and they get no business if we cut ties with them. Urban Outfitters, for example, operates its sister store in Watters Creek, and has been for years. Clearly they get business this far North of Dallas. I’ve worked at the Outlets across the highway enough to know there is a heavy demand for a Zara store north of Dallas. Overall, management of this mall is very unprofessional and unqualified for their positions they hold. I hope the Town of Fairview gets involved and makes sure they hire people who know how to run a shopping center. Watters Creek and the Dallas Galleria have been very vocal about how feedback from guests is important to enhancing the mall experience, but Fairview Town Center simply does not care and that is why their mall is half empty, with wallboards that have been up since 2010 decaying. Look it up, Galleria, NorthPark, and Watters Creek management has talked about how they have strategies to get top-tier stores to lease with them. Anyway, I will not be cutting my business with stores I have been shopping at for years, because your petty management would rather have me do that than take customer suggestions into...

My family went here tonight, and this is what it says exactly on the website.

Join us Friday nights from 6:30 - 8:00 pm April 28 - June 23, 2023 for some FREE family fun. Each week, the activity will be held at a specific location around FTC - be sure to check the schedule each week! Come grab some dinner and enjoy activities like face painting, balloon twisting, characters visits, jugglers, clowns, photos with mermaids and more! The schedule* includes: June 2 - Jugglers - The Park

The jugglers appear to be like 2 random people who just came to the park to juggle. No interest in entertaining anyone or having any sort of group activity. Street performers would be miles better than these guys. It says grab some dinner, but there’s no dinner to grab. It says enjoy activities, like face painting but there’s no face painting. It says balloon twisting but there’s no balloon twisting. It says character visits but there are no characters. It says clowns and photos with mermaids, but there are no clowns, no one taking pictures, and no mermaids. This is a complete waste of time and you should not put this on your website when you have no event. Literally the only thing there were are two random jugglers that look like they were just two random guys juggling by themselves. This event is...

Absolutely wonderful Santa!!! Fairview center is fantastic and has so much to offer. I want to focus on Santa and the beautiful set up they've designed to make the visit something you and your family will not forget. We use to see 'The Big Guy' at Stonebriar and followed him to Fairview Center. When he passed away last year, just before Christmas it was hard on everyone. This year they brought in a gentleman from California who is very good. He was very kind and patient with my grandson and they captured some adorable photos. I really believe The Big Guy is very happy with who is filling his rather big shoes. They did a top notch job of creating a wonderful winter wonderland for families. It was very thoughtfully decorated. We had fun taking it all in. There are arts and crafts for the children, a great gift shop with exquisite items and snow that comes down when you enter the front doors. If you go online ahead of time you can make a reservation and show up at your time slot. There's a $25.00 reservation fee but it's worth it. The fee goes towards the photos. They have taken out the long lines and made seeing Santa easier and very enjoyable. Who ever designed this did a remarkable job. Go see this Santa you'll be very...
