Power Square Mall

Did you know this mall has a library? One of the branches of the Mesa Public Library is in here and the staff are THE BEST! They are super helpful and it’s a regular full-​service branch, just smaller. I also love VF Outlet, Easy Spirit, Corningware, and the Kitchen Collection. More stores need to move in to get this place hopping (and a paint job on the outside and better signage would help too)!

Nice little hidden gem. Mostly kitchenwhere stores, a few cute antique places, discount clothing and a bookstore. They have a lot of 80s style quarter rides for little kids placed throughout and I give my daughter a handfull of quarters to spend when we go (careful of the racehorse it shakes her to pieces and she loves it).

I stopped in because I heard the commercial on Comedy Radio. Despite there being a lot of vacant stores, the ones there have some pretty unique items that you can’t find anywhere else. It was a fun experience and I will look forward to visiting again.

Visited the mall in search of a display cabinet but sad to say that my experience with the owner/​clerk of the food and drink stand outside of the VF Factory store was the worst. No name I am afraid but the red haired woman was the rudest, hurtful person that I have ever encountered at any business establishment. She was angered because my husband asked if she sold orange pop. She said she didn’t answer questions where she was standing, but we would have to go to the end of the counter. She was the only one there. She continued to attack me until I was angered to the point that I raised my voice. I was so upset that I got physically ill. I was already feeling ill when we approached the stand and that was why we were trying to buy something to drink. We are old and Hispanic. She seemed to have a problem with the latter. I would avoid that part of the mall at any cost. I do have a wonderful report on the antique store there but I will use another review form. When I asked for her name and her manager, she said I own this store and refused to give me her name.

I am not sure when this mall was built, but I have lived in San Tan Valley since 2004 and had no idea it was there till just the other day. It was sad to see all the vacancies inside; as another reviewere noted, this mall is trying not to die.
First stop was Dress Barn; the saleswoman was nice enough but looked like a hurt puppy when I said I couldn’t hear her over the music – I like all kinds of music, but this singer sounded like she was passing a stone.
After spending some time there I had to give up (the ‘singer’ was still caterwauling) and stopped quickly at V. F. Lee – again no luck but there was a large selection so maybe I’ll come back and also check out more stores, if this mall manages to stay afloat.

I feel bad posting this but it is a complete waste of time.

I bought a Fry Daddy at the Corningware Outlet. That was the highlight of my visit.
