Merced Mall

I wouldn’t actually call this place a mall. It’s more of a wide long azz hallway. I come from San Jose, CA so it’s nothing compared to what I’m use to.

Just OK! not keeping up with the times definitely need to expand and update. They better hope and pray another Mall does not come to town because they will easily lose all business.

Kool mall with an Olé Skool feel ya digg… This is a home town mall tho… If ya crave up to date /​modern hit up a bigger city…

Well, if you must go, do it. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE SOME LEASURE TIME, GO TO FRESNO, OR MODESTO. Merced mall resembles one shopping center from 80’s. It might serve the purpose; however, if you want aesthetically pleasing Mall, skip this one.

it’s your average mall for the town size, those people complaining about selection and kids are probb go to some mall in major metropolis area and what mall does not have kids? You have your anchor stores which are JCP, KOHLS AND SEARS. Target is next door. average food court for the the geography of this mall.
if it really bothers this malls selection, enjoy the drive to sacramento mall

Very nice employees at this jcp location. Clean and updated store. Plus my sweet mom works here.

Weak, and heard the owner charges rent way to high so businesses do not stay long. What a good business mind right lmao

It’s okay I guess.

If you have a choice and life dose not bring you here, Please go elsewhere and Shop. Life brought me here by accident. Seriously!!! I rate this a 5 stars because of NY Company and Kohls. Floors were clean. Ambiance was serene. Not a lot of people like Stevens Creek or Roseville Galleries or even Modesto Vintage. My emergency was I need to buy flip flops while in Merced. So I came in Here. Found them, I’m out, Not planning on coming back, lol

This review is for the t-​mobile store…
This is the second time I’ve accompanied my mom to this store. Both times have been less than satisfying. This past weekend we arrived to upgrade her phone and were told it would be a 30 – 40 minute wait. This was ok with us but it ended up taking closer to an hour. Finally we were waited on by a young lady who while polite was obviously not trained in the way a full service cellular provider should. My experiences while upgrading at the ATT store have been amazing compared to the customer service offered at this location. We asked if my mom’s account could be reviewed to make sure she is receiving the best deal ‘no we don’t do that, you have to dial 611′. Whaaaaat??? We asked if she could transfer my mom’s contacts to her phone… blank stare ‘they’ll automatically transfer’…they didn’t. On top of it all somehow my mom is paying for data but can not use the Internet on her new smart phone. Also, as we were being waited on the employee helping us was talking to another employee about their plans that evening. The general feeling in this store is ‘we want you out so we can chit chat and twirl our hair. What is the point of going to a full service T-​Mobile store if you can not get service?

For such a tiny mall, they have a decent selection of stores. Want something more, head to Modesto or Fresno, right?
I entered near the Chinese buffet restaurant, which is also the entrance to the food court. There seemed to be a lot of people just hanging out, and I didn’t see much interesting in the way of food, unless McDonald’s is your high end restaurant.
I was surprised to see Tilly’s and Zumiez, along with Sears and J C Penney, so they have some selection for teens, but it seems as though it would be more of a hangout than a place to shop.
It could be worse.

I didn’t expect much going in given the rest of what I’d already seen of Merced. I found what I needed going in, and it wasn’t nearly as dirty as I had imagined it’d be. Sure beats the hell out of the mall in Salinas!!!

In short, Merced Mall is by far the worst and most depressing mall I have ever visited. It seems to reflect the state of affairs in Merced itself.
I agree with other reviewers that Merced Mall is not worth your time because the selection of stores is boring and uninviting. Customer service at most stores in the mall is not only bad, it’s disgusting! In terms of appearance, the mall is old and distasteful. When you walk in the first thing you would notice is the old yellow ugly tile floor. And the rest of the mall looks like it’s about to get shut down: poorly maintained.
The other thing I noticed was there was a lot of local Mexican street gang members hanging out there. In fact, it felt like I was in a poor neighborhood of Mexico walking around in this mall. I hardly heard English spoken here.

It’s pretty dead here. The city name says it all…“Merdead”. Can’t expect much in a city that is rated the worst to live in.

The Merced Mall is small, the food selection sucks, at the food court a bunch of teenagers hang out, some of them are loud, rude, disrespectful, some teenagers go around asking other costumers for money, I heard some teenage boys say really nasty things to young girls like ’ can I tap that ass’ ’ and other rude things, security is never around, the mall feels like a daycare where parents can drop of their kids and let them run wild, especially on the weekend. I wish we had a Macy, forever 21 and old navy.

Ehhhh… it’s the Merced Mall. Been here forever, hundreds of stores have come and gone, and that will continue on untill they condem the building.
Remember the Merced Mall has been here since the 60s,

It is a mall in Merced. I didn’t expect much and didn’t receive much.
To tell you the truth, I don’t care either.
If you want a good mall go to a bigger town.
Merced is country, with double negatives and crappy food being slung around like it’s going out of style. What else would you expect?

Having 3 department stores with little shops in between still doesn’t qualify this as a mall. The mall as a whole has an odd scent and is dirty along with the questionable characters you may see walking around in there. The mall has a CVS for crying out loud, that is not a mall at least compared to what I am accustomed to. The Kohls is the only shop I would advise going to as it is clean and people actually help you. Aside from Kohl’s there are no other spots to hit up while in the «mall».

Don’t waste your time going here. This can’t be called a mall… This needs a negative star. When you walk in it’s like you go through a time warp and you’re back in the 80’s.I really don’t have much to say except…
Save time and go to Target right next door. i’m sure you’ll find more things that’ll interest you!

Been to this mall twice. The first time I went, I was turned off by the customer service at the pharmacy as well as the crowd (mostly teenagers) wreaking havoc. After being in the mall for 15 minutes, we decided to leave. There was nothing much to see or buy. It’s old, worn-​out, and very small. It will probably take you about 3 minutes to powerwalk from one end of the mall to the other.
On my recent visit to Merced after a few years, I expected the mall to be better (remodeled and expanded), but it’s still the same to me. I guess the city decided not to invest in it because of the major real estate downfall in the area. For a much better shopping mall experience, Vintage Faire Mall in Modesto is the way to go and the closest major mall within the vicinity. Fresno has a better shopping center as well but it is much farther than Modesto.
