Uptown Hutch — Local services in Hutchinson

The mall is currently in a sad state but has been improving a lot recently. There aren't many stores, and of those that are there, not many actually stay open every day or during regular mall hours. I would say one of the most popular stores is Game On, currently the only non-Game Stop video game store in town.

The food court is sad, with King Wok being the star. Other options are, so far as I know, Orange Julius and a 'mini' Anchor Grill.

Non shopping entertainment is about as bad as the food court options. A lot of the stuff out in the open -such as candy machines and game units - do not work or don't work well. There is an arcade that is fun, if outdated. There are only two massage chairs in the whole mall, one of which would not accept money during my last visit and the other simply sucks. They're old and falling apart.

Right next to the two massage chairs is an accupressure massage parlor. Its worth the money to go there for a quick fifteen minute chair massage rather than spending on...

There are roughly about 6 stores worth going to in this mall. For the rest of the stores, I wouldn't put my shadow near the entryway. The products are either overpriced or the customer service is poor.

Here are the stores worth going to -

Anywhere else is a waste of your time and/or money that you can spend elsewhere. This mall has turned rather sad since the early 2000's. The Food Courtside is a joke as they no longer have food options inside the mall. Several of the other rented locations within the mall are overpriced gyms aside from one which is utilized so little that the lights are hardly illuminating that area.

I hope that the city will look into opening more stores in the mall around the time the new hotel opens. This is a prime location for tourists coming off the highway and to be quite honest, it is making...

Sad, sad place. Younger people today don't remember the pride, power and promise of its opening with all those big anchors back in the day. There was Sears (closed), Penneys (closed), Dillards (closed), Newmans (closed), and Walmart (moved). There was also resentment and anger from the downtown merchants who'd fought the mall for years. Predictions of their demise proved largely true, though it's very doubtful they could have withstood the ecommerce that made the malls themselves redundant a decade or so later. But the Hutchinson Mall is hardly unique; the same thing has happened to malls, strip centers and brick-and-mortars across the country. New owners are striving to repurpose the mall, bringing in smaller retailers and federal, state and local agencies. The mall isn't what it once was, but what is? There are signs of life. It's not quite the neglected ghost town it had become....
