Madison Square Mall

Disappointingly dead mall here with lots and lots of empty shops. Tile floors with broken or cracked tiles. A broken escalator. I can’t imagine that this mall will continue for much longer. I feel bad for the folks who started their small business here and are trying to sell their products — there’s just NOTHING going on here.

I had some time to kill and was in the area so I thought I’d take a walk in the mall. We had talked with some locals the night before and they said the mall was going downhill. Even from the outside, the parking lot and landscaping, I could tell that this mall was on it’s last legs. The only anchor stores left are J.C. Penny’s and Sears. When those two leave I see this place probably shutting down.
They food court only has 2 off brand restaurants and I think there’s an issue with the A/​C in the food court because the skylights really heat up that area. I would say that about 25% of the mall is occupied by stores, and only 5−10% of those are name brand stores. They have a lot of urban stores in the mall. The website for the mall and the mall directory aren’t accurate as to what is in the mall. I would say that there’s a lot better places to shop in the area.

If I could give this place a zero I would. Food options were nil, only half the escalators worked and I couldn’t find restrooms. There were more empty stores than filled and it looked like a few more were on their way out. I wasted an hour of my time and I’m still hungry, have a headache, and I STILL need to use the bathroom.

This mall was right across the street from where I was staying, so I decided to walk over and take a look. Poor mall. I can tell, at one point, this place was nice. However, when I went, everything was shut down — only a handful of stores still operating. Kind of scary, kind of sad. Maybe, in the future, this place could blossom again?

Empty. This is the ghost town that was once a booming place to be on Friday afternoons in Huntsville. Like many malls, this place has fallen victim to declining sales and vacant store space.
The food court had between 2 – 4 shops open for business. Such a sad story for malls in general.

I left Madison in 1995, when thIs mall was the focal point of the community. Now, it’s like visiting a dying relative. The once proud shopping District, full of top tier vendors and an air of excited, happy customers has been replaced with empty shops littered about like Homless people. Everybody walks by these shops, pretending like they don’t see them, but it’s an unspoken sign of impending failure of this once fine shopping mall.
I’m actually depressed by this site and hope the owners or board can realize that empty stores earn zero dollars. Confidence with this patron is low and I fear the next time I Visit Madison, that security gates and graffiti will replace the veneer of a once loved and comforting place that brought many great memories to this guy.
There are a few fine vendors left, but I find myself wondering how long they can hold out and I sense their panic and desperation.

I try not to go to the mall if I don’t have to. It’s pretty much run down and not a lot of stores are left here. With Bridgestreet being less than a few miles away, I’d much rather put up with the cold of an outdoor mall than the sketchy people that always seem to be in this mall.

Game Galaxy. Just outside the food court there’s a arcade. $ 7 bucks gets you a hour of play time. We had a great time time!

Never seen a mall like this! Quite a few of the stores inside are closed. The food court is sad, went in expecting chick fil a and found only like 4 Asian restaurants. Wow! Everything seems to be going out of business here! At least Buffalo Wild Wings is still open and a few other good stores. Even Dillard’s is closed in this mall!

This was not the most pleasant shopping experience I’ve had. I had to go find someone when I wanted to try on some items. They sent a guy that had no idea what was going on so I ended up making my own rules for the dressing room. They did have some killer deals right now though. I got two pairs of Levi and three polo shirts a Levi wallet all for $ 135.00. That’s very good if you know how much clothes cost. Overall I’ll not completely boycott JC-​Penney but I’m not a real happy camper either.

On a Saturday afternoon this place wasn’t as dead as I’d expected. I think there may be a few MORE small stores open in here now than the last time I walked thru.
It will be somewhat interesting to watch this location adapt and evolve into its future.

There is nothing left here. Half the storefronts are closed. Even the foodcourt only had 4 storefronts. Horrible selection in those 4. Defintately not worth visiting until they upgrade this place.

Madison Square Mall doesn’t have a large selection of quality shops. There are your standard JCPenney, Belk (southern clothing store), Sears, Foot Locker, Victoria’s Secret, Hot Topic, Spencer’s, Champs, and a measly food court. There is also an arcade attached to a retro gaming shop that sells Nintendo, N64, Super Nintendo, Gamecube, and Sega Saturn. That store is the highlight of this mall. There are other smaller, more generic clothing stores, a moon bounce kind of thing at one end, an American Cookie store, and random kiosks throughout Madison Square. I come here mainly for Foot Locker and Wet Seal. I always see people at the Buffalo Wild Wings here for the weekly specials and football games on Sunday and Monday nights.
F.Y.I. — There are other stores as well Motherhood, Jimmy Jazz, Underground Stations, Journeys, Vitamin World, and Aeropostale but I don’t really shop at these stores. I think this mall needs to be relocated or revamped. It doesn’t have too many customers on any given day and feels shoddy at times. Just my opinion.
