The Shops at Prescott Gateway — Local services in Prescott

Lets face it Mall's are a dying breed. Gone are the days teens and young adults spent endless hours "hanging out" at the mall. Mallrats are now a scarce breed as are the few stores that remain here. Its not fun shopping here. Its actually a mood killer. Even the few employees that are working at the stores hanging on look stressed, bored, or ambivalent. Many of the large anchor stores have left and quite a few of the smaller shops followed. The food court has a few vendors some recognizable, some not. Bottom line: It has a gorgeous interior layout with a gigantic stone fireplace that hosts Santa in December. Which is one of the few times you'll see families and kids flock to the mall. However the other 11months of the year the interior mall is reminiscent of a dying city soon to be a vacant ghost town. There are some great stand alone stores, and restaurants in the exterior of the mall worth shopping at, which is the only reason I have to even bother driving up to the Prescott Gateway Mall nowadays.

Yet it sits as is year after year. Heck they could even develop it into a "Work/ Live" community and remodel the massive space into condos with commercial vendors as well. Its a great property with views. I wish they ownership group would just do something, anything to bring this property in line with the current...

With malls in America dying a slow and painful death, it's no surprise that the Prescott Gateway mall is struggling to remain relevant. The anchor stores remain, even though Sears is always empty. The malls seems to be 1/3rd empty. The shops that remain are generally not interesting or compelling. There are a few good ones like "Games People Play" and "Hill Top" which has awesome food. The management does have special events to bring in people. If you're bored or know what you're looking for then...

Nothing to buy ..has a Dillards and a Penneys and I just read Penneys is leaving. !!! Not enough employees especially in intimate wear. We need help when bras are every size but no one will help us. You need a corsetiere to show how to put on or bring a second person to go out and get more different sizes. Bras are the hardest thing to buy and we need people who will help us instead of reclothing ourselves and back and forth with no.help.. bringing in more bras...
