Bridgepointe Shopping Center

This is a really great mall, stores like Target, Staples, Marshall’s, Bed & Bath, and Home Depot are really good at this location. There’s good parking, the restaurants like BJ’s and Red Robin are good and Sports Authority is really big and has good selection of sporting goods.
Also the ice rink, it’s sad it closed down, but don’t give the mall a negative review because of the ice rink. Ice rinks have been closing in other malls in America, it’s was part of the old Fashion Island mall. Most people that come to this mall, for shopping at stores like Target and Home Depot.
It’s a good mall with good parking.

Horrible. The mall itself is ok with a few good stores but the city of San Mateo are horrible careless dream crushing people who tear down ice rinks along with kids dreams of becoming professional hockey players or ice skaters. All they care about is the money and not the people of their own city. Please if you have a heart, do not shop at the Bridgepoint Shopping center, until the ice rink gets put back in motion. If it never does, then keep doing your part and make the whole mall get no buissnes having to close down so they see how it feels.

Not a bad shopping center with tons of shops and parking.

This is our go to place for Target and other larger retail stores. Although the place can get busy, it’s always easy enough to find parking.
It’s also conveniently located right off 92 although once I did manage to get on the wrong direction and ended in Hayward. Not amused.

This little strip mall is actually pretty damn decent. They have an AMAzing Target and their Marshals is super nice, clean and organized have a nice huge NEW Cost Plus and BBB for all your I really did not need that needs. You have kids huge Toys R Us with everything possible can get pretty crowded on weekends. You could pretty much get all your errands done in one fool swoop. I remember the ice rink I also remember not a whole lott of people being there. Huge overhead with little coming in means they will rent to the highest bidder that is the way it works things change and you either flow or stay back. I will be curious to see what will end up there?

Love This Shopping Center! So Much Better Now That The Ice Rink Has Closed!

4 stars because I didn’t even know there was an ice rink here and don’t give a fart in a high wind that it was closed. Seriously people, you’re gonna give an entire shopping center a one-​star rating because one business decided to close? Hurrr.
I generally like this shopping center. It’s got the best Target in the area. I mean, have you been to the one in Tanforan? UGH! This Target is by far cleaner, more organized, and contains fewer people wandering around in pajama pants and Uggs. The Marshalls is also a similar contrast… the one in SSF is so gross, but this one is actually pretty un-​ghetto by comparison. There’s also a Staples, a Bed Bath & Beyond, and from what I understand a Cost Plus (though I haven’t ventured out to that yet).
There’s a shitload of parking and although the parking lot traffic tends to be rather pell-​mell, you’ll pretty much get that anywhere.

They went and did it… they closed down the ice skating rink. I’m probably still gonna keep shopping here, but I’m definitely not gonna be as happy about it.
I can only hope that they will replace the ice skating rink with something really awesome… (’cause if they don’t… :shakes fist:)

If I could give the Bridgepoint Shopping center a negative review, I would.
The owner of this center is playing the political games with the city (at our own expense!).
They closed the ice skating rink which used to bring a lot of out of town people to shop and leave their money IN THE CITY.
Did you know that the Bridgepoint rink was the only one that would allow the disabled children in wheelchairs on ice? Those children have no place to go to now…
I (and my numerous friends all over California) will be boycotting Target, Sports Authority, Bed, Bath of beyond, and CVS at this shopping center for as long as the ice rink is closed. San Mateo will not see my cash or the cash or my numerous friends!
AVOID BRIDGEPOINT IF YOU CAN! Shop at Hillsdale…

I will no longer be shopping at Bridgepointe shopping center. While I like some of the stores there, I cannot support my money eventually going into the hands of the landlord, SPI Holdings. SPI Holdings is shutting down the ice rink where my daughter skates. SPI has been yanking around rink management and the City of San Mateo for almost a year now. They never moved forward with their proposed development. Now SPI has pulled their promise to compensate the City in exchange any change to the Bridgepointe Master Plan. As of June 1, they will be in violation of their agreement with the City to provide an ice rink on site. They have done the same to the owners of Hokkaido restaurant; I understand that a lawsuit may be pending.
There is nothing wrong with trying to make money. Just do it fairly.

For six years I did all of my shopping in San Mateo while both of my boys played hockey at the Bridgepointe Ice Center six days a week. Without the rink, there is nothing to draw me all the way up here from Santa Cruz. My sales tax revenue will stay in Santa Cruz County from now on. Sorry SPI, but your new stores won’t do the trick. I have better shopping options much closer to home. But the ice — that will truly be missed. Please reconsider and negotiate a new lease with the current management team.

Okay it’s bad enough that you’re closing one of MY ice rinks, but my sushi place and Old Navy too!!! And as much as I like Armadillo Willy’s, there are other BBQ places to go to that probably can easily beat out Armadillo’s.
BTW: you landlords that are kicking out the ice rink… where do you think the Mom’s are dropping the kids off at to burn off their sugar high while they’re going shopping at your mail in peace? That’s RIGHT!!! The ICE RINK!!! You might get more rent out of those tenants, but in the end those merchants are gonna go elsewhere (like Target will be) b/​c they’re not making their profits to pay your ridiculous lease b/​c those customers can’t find «convenience babysitting»!!! Very short sighted, doncha think??? /​:)
BTW: my coworkers aren’t going to your mall anymore b/​c you took away their sushi buffet, which is pretty decent food, if you ask me…

Bridgepointe Shopping Center is a fantastic shopping center. They have all the stores you could possibly need and/​or want, including a fantastic Target and Staples, plus a fantastic Home Depot right across the street.

Plenty parking and it has everything you need.
Household goods, office supplies, clothings, pet supplies, cell phones, cosmetics… restaurants, Starbucks… and a Hallmark store, what more can you ask for?

I like this shopping plaza — it has a lot of current store’s and it’s right near my apartment so I’m here almost every day.
Store’s include Target (love!), Sports Authority, Marshals, Bed Bath and Beyond (also love), Old Navy, Staples, Verizon, Petco, Pier, Ethan Alan, Ulta and Amy’s Hallmark. There are also a few restaurants too so you can grab a bite to eat after shopping — Red Robin (Yuummmm!), BJ’s, Hokkaido, Mimi’s Café, Armadillo Willy’s and of course Starbucks for your Coffee fix.
And although it isn’t classed as part of the Mall there is also Nubi Yogurt, Chipotle, Panda Express and Home Depot nearby too.
There’s a huge amount of parking but with one small irritation — so many people simply cannot park to save their life, a lot of which are in the close vicinity of Mimi’s (lol). With that said… a nice mall to hit up when you need a shopping fix.
