Muscatine Mall — Local services in Muscatine

I would love to give this a higher rating.

This building has a lot of potential, but unfortunately, over 20 shop vacancies.

During inclement weather, my folks and I walk 3 miles a day in the mall (about 6 laps). Alongside several other "regulars", there's a cozy community of mall walkers.

Jimmy John's mazing and there some other good businesses in here too but I don't see that anybody wants to come here because the place is run down.
