Shopper’s Square Mall

I love shopping at Shopper’s Square. I visit CVS once a week for our prescriptions but this isn’t the only reason I like to visit Shopper’s. 95% of the time I check out Marshall’s & Tuesday Morning. With their great deals, I walk out with a new buy every time. While I’m there, I make a snack stop at Port of Subs or My Favorite Muffin. You can never go wrong with a fresh sub or smoothie.
Additional places I stop are the USPS, Cold Stone, & The Reno Shoe Repair.

Dirtiest bathroom i have ever seen. Who has these disgusting towels anymore in a public bathroom. Really ?!

Shopper’s Square was probably a once thriving mall/​shopping center, but it seems to have a rather large amount of vacant store spots inside.
I’ve checked different shops within it over the past decade, both as a local and a visitor:
Eternal Board Shop, but it unfortunately closed down recently.
Tuesday Morning — seems to be an upscale discount store with lots of housewares.
Port of Subs — seems OK, although their meat portions could improve in comparison to some other locations in the franchise.
CVS — pretty much just like the rest of them. A bit bigger in size, with extended food, drink, and «As Seen On TV» item sections.
Marshall’s — has a lot more departments other than just clothing. I’ve found everything random from luggage to iPhone screen protectors here at discounted rates.
Reno Shoe Repair & Alterations — Yes, it’s a combination shoe and luggage repair shop! The proprietors are a very nice Asian couple. I’ve utilized this place a couple of times to get replacement luggage wheels — they do Samsonite, American Tourister, and a few other major brands, but unfortunately don’t do the cheapo WalMart brands (TIP: if you’re stuck with WalMart luggage and have been on the road for the past year and two months like I have, just keep your receipts, and utilize their exchange policy to the max!) Can’t fault anyone due to the nature of the business, but this shop has a strong, knock-​you-​down odor… a combination of shoe polish, shoe cement, and burning rubber.
McDonald’s — pretty much like the rest of ‘em, seems to have an old-​skool architecture with big yellow arches, I’m guessing to model the original McDonald’s location. There’s some type of cartoon of a man or a chef with a rather gnarly expression on his face that’s plastered on the sides of the building, and he’s not Ronald McDonald… hmm…as with most other MickeyD’s locations in town, there are signs everywhere regarding refills, loitering, the 30 minute dine-​in time limit, etc. I did get what I thought was food poisoning here a few years back, but it actually was e coli poisoning that probably resulted from a contaminated tea urn spout. So, those $ 1 extra large iced teas probably aren’t the best option here.
The general upkeep of the place seems okay, you’d just think there would be a lot more tenants there, as the location is prime.

Cute little mall. I mostly visit for Marshall’s, Hart’s Fine Jewelry, and Cold Stone. It’s definitely not a mall that you go in to walk around or window shop. I go here with a specific purpose in mind then I’m out. It’s maintained well though. Although the new parking lot is horribly designed. The engineer that created that is an idiot.

Rundown. Uninviting exterior. I usually have to remind myself to lock my car door — here, I park and AUTOMATICALLY lock my car door. Chain stores inside are in disarray. Half of them are closed. An embarrassment. Kinda sad, actually.

This is an odd little place. It has several nice stores, including a great muffin shop and an interesting little Hawaiian apparel and knickknack shop. I’m there all the time since the pharmacy at CVS is one of the few decent ones in the area. It’s an older building, though they have added some newer places on the end of the parking lot. The mall itself is a bit worn down it’s nice to be able to find parking and run in and out of a mall when I’m in a hurry.
As for stores, though it’s not a big place there are quite a few stores and best of all they aren’t crowded.

They also have a small Christmas parade each year, which is a nice start to the holiday season. I was there yesterday and the guy they have for photos with Santa this year is a great one. He really looks like Santa and he seems good with even the kids who typically are afraid of the big guy. It’s a great place to take the kids since there’s a Boy Scout tree lot on the corner and it’s nice to go see Santa, then pick out the family Christmas tree.

This use to be a little dump across the street from a bigger dump called the Park Lane Mall. The Mall is no more, torn down and is nothing but a big empty dirty lot. Who know when they will get around to building something there?
As far as Shopper’s Square, it is no longer a little dump. They have cleaned it up and added to it, or at least added more stores to the end of it and added some other stores in two more buildings. If you can not stand big fat crowds (Like at the Meadowwood Mall) and do not want to drive miles to the Legends or Sierra Mall, then try this place. It has a nice variety of stores and not all of them are chain/​franchise types.
