Review content:
This mall is somewhat of an anomaly. The facility is brand new and, inexplicably, is nearly empty. It's out of view of Interstate 45, which is a major problem for them obviously. It's located across the freeway from an Outlet mall that gets a lot more business. There aren't many stores in the mall other than the theatre or Macy's. It's as if this is an old mall with a new mall that opened down the street, leaving this one hanging out to dry. However, it's not really like that. This mall was opened after the nearby Baybrook Mall and was actually built to replace the Galvez mall in Galveston that closed. it apparently has failed to attract any business.\r
\r
The facilities are clean and well-constructed. There are virtually no people in the mall at any given time other than employees, so parking and shopping are a breeze. Most of the stores are independently owned (not chain stores) and quite a few are ""Cash Only"" outfits with prominent, condescending signs posted on the doors indicating their policy. The food court is halfway decent but could use a Chick-Fil-A. There are plenty of places to sit and it's very quiet.\r
\r
There are closed stores all over the place. I'd say the occupancy is at 20% or less. You have to walk down long corridors of walls to get to Macy's (former Foley's). Thankfully, most of the stores are close to the Food Court. The Macy's is the busiest store in the mall. The Sears is dead, the Palais Royal is dead, and the JC Penney is closed down, but you can still see where the signs were. It's really odd having a massive anchor store closed at a brand new mall.\r
\r
The selection in the stores is clearly geared toward the local crowd. Lots of bargains and not a lot of quality material. If not for that, this would be a great ""best kept secret"" place to shop for Christmas, but there's literally nothing worth buying here. Take the drive to Baybrook Mall just a few miles north. It's older, 100% full, and has tons of good stores to shop
Pros: Ample parking, new facilities, few customers, nice food court
Cons: Mostly vacant, poorly-run independent stores, locally-geared selection leaves much to be desired
