I like the mall, it's a smallish mall - has a Carson's, a Macy's, Sears & JC Penney. The mall stores typically carry items geared towards urban youth with a good mix of trends. The Charlotte Russe store there has a good variety and surpasses some of the more upscale malls in the area.
They upgraded the movie theatre which is very much welcome. The food court isn't too bad. I rated it 3 stars because certain mall staples (like The Gap) are notably absent. Perhaps the demographics of Joliet make it so but stores like American Eagle (who has been there forever) seem to do very well.
