Fox River Mall

I like this mall. They actually have a really good variety in the food court (two pizza places, Chinese, Japanese, tacos and sandwich places). The options for stores is good too as they offer your basics like Target all the way to the upscale Coach store. If you have some time to shop through the stores you can really find some outstanding deals and finds.

I love shopping! I’ve only been to the Fox River Mall a couple times but I feel it’s pretty top notch.
The mall itself was very clean and not busy on my most recent visit. I was there shopping during prime hours (4−7pm). All the major retailers have a store here, and the associates in all the stores I visited were cheerful and helpful.
Yes, I would drive all the way from Milwaukee to Appleton to come shopping here. I felt that the stores were not overshopped and overwhelmed like many Milwaukee retailers. I found items in stores that I saw online and were not available in the Milwaukee stores.
I will certainly return and recommend, especially if you are in the area and love shopping ;)

Okay, I love this mall! Shopping malls are a dying breed and they are bastions of my formative years. This one has fared pretty well and is well maintained.
The clothing store options are pretty typical; Gap, A&F, Forever 21, Ann Taylor, etc. But the staff is friendly and it doesn’t feel overcrowded even when it’s packed!
There is a kids’ area in the food court that I am a fan of taking my kiddo to on the really cold or rainy days to let him run around with the other cabin fever children!

The mall has a little bit of something for everyone. The Fox River Mall has a pretty good assortment of restaurants in the food court for any hunger issues that you may have upon entry or after walking around. Panda Express, McDonalds, Rocky Rocco, and O’Charlies are a few of the restaurants you can find there. They also have the brewery if you seek a more sit down restaurant experience. Gourmet it is not, but pretty decent food all around for the amount you pay. The mall has a large number of stores as well as kiosks that range in what they offer. In my recent visit I was looking for a replacement watch battery and learned that not everywhere will swap out batteries for pretty much any watch brand. Enter the Watch Co kiosk and battery replacement is not an issue. I also needed to have some links removed which was done as well. They offer a «one year» battery for a smaller fee or you can opt for the lifetime battery for a little more. The fees for everything that I got with the one year battery and the links removed came out to about $ 20 which seemed reasonable. Recommended stop

Typical mall. Nice varity of stores and food. Walking areas are tight in some places but otherwise very spacious. I would agree that the 10am open time is a little late for a mall but overall its nice with decent parking.

The only things open before 10 are subway and Gloria jeans coffee which is sad

The shopping selection in and of itself is decent, but dang… the traffic is atrocious (the mall, Wal mart, the airport, and a billion and one strip malls crammed into the same village. Nice planning, zoning).
STAY OUT OF THIS PART OF TOWN for at least a month before school ends, and during all of November and December, unless you want to get rear ended or listen to screaming children… or both.

They say you can tell a lot about a community by its mall. I would agree. This mall is easy going, small, and inexpensive. Just like Appleton. If you’re looking for Louis Vuitton and Prada, don’t even go past the food court because you won’t find it. They have the smallest JCPenny’s I’ve ever seen! You literally walk in turn around and walk out. It is only one story and coming from a mall like Scottsdale Fashion Square in PHX… that’s a big change. I found what I was looking for though so that is all that matters. This mall could definitely use some store upgrades though.

«Mall sprawl”=if it’s not a term then it should become one because Fox River Mall personifies it. You have the sub-​par mall and a bunch of crappy strip malls surrounding it so you HAVE TO DRIVE EVERYWHERE to do your shopping which totally defeats the purpose of having a mall in the first place. And there are no sidewalks or crosswalks connecting the mall with the satellite stores so have fun crossing the highway.
How crappy is this mall? Target is one of their anchor stores. heh. And since going to the mall is about the only thing to do in Appleton it’s that much more disappointing…

Mall Management has decided in their infinite wisdom to completely eliminate one element that drew families to the mall. A picture with Santa. If you want a picture with Santa, you’ll be forced to buy their average, over priced hard copy. You will no longer be able to use your own camera. The Brainiac management didn’t even consider charging people a dollar or two to take their own picture where the quality may be better and you retain a digital copy. Marketing myopia at its finest.

This place is about 20 years old — it’s starting to show its age, despite some recent renovations. The food court («Northwoods Café») is now quite nice, with lots of seating and a variety of restaurants (though, the Taco Bell and Arby’s franchises just pulled out). Parking is sometimes a bit of a hassle (especially in winter, when snow obscures parking lines), but nothing major.
Anchor stores: Macy’s, Sears, Target, JCPenney, Younkers, Scheels Sporting Goods, and, if you count it as an anchor, a new Ulta beauty just moved in a few months ago
One of my favorite things about this mall (especially now that I’m East Coast-​based and not much of an American Eagle/​Forever 21/​Aeropostale shopper): they’ve made a concerted effort to concentrate more of the ‘upscale’ brands into one wing — by Macy’s. You can find Coach, Banana Republic, Coldwater Creek, Ann Taylor, Pottery Barn, j jill, Chico’s, Talbots, and Godiva in one wing. [But don’t try to find anything more up-​market than that… it doesn’t exist in this mall.]
Otherwise, just your run-​of-​the-​mill suburban mall. Good selection. 180 stores inside, plus lots of kiosks. Lots of other stores in the outlying areas around the mall.

I don’t know what I was expecting to find at a mall in the Wisconsin. My boyfriend had led me to believe that the Midwest was super different than CA, but in reality, it’s pretty similar.
Granted the people here aren’t as on top of the trends, but the basic trends are implemented here. And this mall is the place that helps out with that. Macy’s, Abercrombie, Pottery Barn, Gap, Banana Republic, American Eagle, Victoria’s Secret, Body Shop, Ann Taylor. A majority of the stores you would see in any other mall in a big city is pretty much here.
The food court has a McDonalds, Panda Express, Orange Julius, and anything you may need to meet your mall food craving.
I can shop anywhere and this mall is no exception. I didn’t leave empty handed.

good number of stores — gap, BR, american eagle, abercrombie, pottery barn, ann taylor, victoria’s secret, express, body shop. i did most of my christmas shopping here, though i wish they had more stores.
apparently people drive for hours to come to this mall since it’s one of the biggest ones around.
