Vancouver Mall

First off, this mall has a pet store that sells puppies. Is this the 90’s, before people were aware of puppy mills? They currently have two retriever type dogs sitting in these tiny cages whining and whimpering to get out. If that’s not animal abuse I don’t know what is.
Overall, this mall is just a weird place to shop. There is a store that sells swords, mace, and other random weapons. I avoid the bottom level at all costs because the kiosk vendors harass you to buy their stuff. The hand dryers in the restrooms have been broken for months and the escalators are out of service probably 50% of time time.
They do have a pretty good sushi place, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to try it.

Over the past year, there are new owners, hence the name change from Westfield Vancouver Mall to Vancouver Mall. Awhile ago they moved the previously well-​placed escalators to the ends of the mall. You can also use the Macy’s, Sear’s, or JcPenney’s escalators that are inside of each store (not very helpful because Macys and JCP are located at the ends of the mall). There is also one elevator located near the Cinetopia and stairs near Sears. Currently the hours are Monday-​Saturday 10 – 9, and Sunday 11 – 6 although few stores stay open one hour later Friday-​Sunday nights (Wetzels Pretzels, Macys, JcPenney, Baskin Robbins, and the theater has extra late hours). This mall is maintained well in my opinion, there is a family restroom «lounge» near Jcpenney (follow the signs in front of JCP). Food court has good selection-​Subway, Eat Pizza, Pita Pit, Orange Julius (although I do not recommend due to rude employees), Thai, Express Japan, J&J burgers, etc. The Cinetopia is always clean and staff is usually very nice!

I may be overcompensating, but it’s much better than I expected. When I had heard Nordstom was closing like in Lloyd Center I assumed the malls were similar. The reality is it is a nice mall with its shops full.
It even has some highlights like a Cinetopia and of corse a food court, Macy’s etc, Its a good size mall and there are more shops surrounding the mall.
I’ve been to Cinetopia a couple of times, It is nice and the mall is actually fairly good.
