Tulsa Promenade Mall

What happened to this place. It was like maybe 5 years ago and this place was hoppin’ and a good alternative to Woodland Hills. Now it just seemingly survives based on having 3 department stores, with the rest of the spaces rented out to depressing tchotchke shops. Granted there is a Sky Fitness, but they’ve wisely blocked themselves from the main mall.
The movie theater is still there, but hard to imagine they are getting any business with the renovated AMC just down the street.

Sometimes it’s sad to go to this mall because it always seems like there are several storefronts that are empty. It feel as though this location really does try but that it is overshadowed by Woodland Hills. It is nice that it isn’t packed with customers that will run you down if you get in their way (like I find happens often at Woodland Hills), but if you plan to do anything more than just walk around for exercise then there isn’t much to see.

So much history. The passed two years, I’ve worked at this mall and learned so much about it. When the mall first started, it used to be an «Open-​air» mall. WHich means, it used to be an outside mall called Southlands. Across the street (Where Reasor’s is), used to be another mall called Southroads and only one of them survived. Go and check out this wise old mall.

Promenade Mall has officially become another eastland mall. The stores are carrying styles from three or more years ago! There is no longer a reason to try and shop at Promenade mall. It is very sad… I do try to shop local, but it won’t happen here.

It has been a few years since we had been here but we went today and we’re very disappointed! This mall is running down. It had a funny smell and looked like the Maintenance hasn’t been kept up with in years! And the food court was even more disappointing. Sad to say but unless there’s some remodeling done or better management comes in to run the mall we probably won’t return. As we were leaving we decided to go to Woodland Hills Mall and it was head and shoulders a much better place to walk around, shop or grab a bite to eat.

Tulsa Promenade Mall is a adequate shopping establishment.
It was built in 1965 and a part of Tulsa history. When I first started shopping here, it was a great mall with good stores. Over the years, the quality of stores has decreased. Recently, the last surviving decent store, the Gap, closed. The anchor stores include: Macy’s, Dillard’s, and JC Penny. I tend to go to Promenade for lunch, due to the Chick-​fil-​A in the food court. There is a Bath & Body and an American Eagle, but no other real shopping gems. A lot of shoe stores and kid clothing stores. I really don’t shop in any of the stores here, except JC Penny and Dillard’s. There is a movie theater that tends to show movies that aren’t playing anywhere else. Overall, this is not the mall that comes to mind when I need to go shopping.
The Tulsa Promenade Mall is losing appeal, but somehow stays afloat.

Love coming to this mall to walk around and get away from all the chaos of Woodland Hills Mall… This mall might be smaller, but there’s less traffic inside than outside and it offers a theater & a Tex-​Mex restaurant as you enter.
Nice staff and pleasantly clean & well stocked. They have a «Candy Castle» that we love to go in to get our sugar fix. Be sure to stop there and check out all the new candies & mainly the old ones we remember growing up with.

Whenever we wanna get outta the house which we do quite often we come here just to walk around. Its quietier then Woodland Hills but the downside to that is there arent as many shops.

Having been in retail management for most of my adult life I know it’s difficult to teach good customer service. I was very impressed with the service at this store.

Many empty shops. Comfortable seating area for the people not interested in shopping, but get dragged along. Still quite an assortment of shops and places to eat. Two levels with multiple ramps, stairs, elevators and escalators. Declining customer population.

I’ll pass on the theater. Musty smelling like the carpet has never been changed and the seats never cleaned. The tile flooring was actually sticky.
The mall, overall, is pretty good. Easy to get around in. Nice shops. Good indoor walking. Covered garage and outdoor parking is plentiful.

If you need a mall experience, but you don’t want to deal with the busier Woodland Hills Mall, this is the place to go. It’s smaller than Woodland, but it has the basic anchor stores. There is a food court and an El Chico’s if you need some food for shopping fuel. This mall also has a movie theater, but I can tell you from personal experience, you don’t want to watch your movies here. It’s a rowdy and loud crowd. There is a large AMC theater across the street that might be a better option if you want a flick to go with your mall experience.

Returning to Tulsa after several years away, I stopped in for a quick run to Dillard’s. Was this place so outdated and shabby 10 years ago? It feels small and dark and ridiculously crowded for the fact that there aren’t actually that many people there. This place may exemplify the demise of the American mall.

Been going this mall since it was outdoor mall (Southland) with a hobby shop and JCPenney was selling the Star Wars Episode IV toys. It’s a great little mall that has changed over the years. Not to high or low I think it fits the everyperson mall shopper and is right for its location. Dillards and other goods stores are still a part of an excellent operation. Even the theaters are decent.

Coolest carpeted mall ever. Haha. No seriously, Promenade is pretty ghetto, but it’s been around forever and there’s even a movie theater inside!
It still has the same candy store I frequented as an awkward teenager that has a million options. The food court remains the same as it did in the early 90s with specialties such as Hot Dog on a Stick, Sbarro Pizza (the size of one slice at Sbarro is 3 normal sized slices), Chick Fil A (which is closed on Sundays since they’re a Christian company??), and It’s Greek to Me, which has terrible hummus. The stores aren’t anything to write about, but they do the job I guess.
I specifically enjoy Dillard’s as they have the best BCBG collection I’ve seen at any department store. I even saw 5 or 6 racks that were 30% off or more. I’m still kicking myself for not purchasing the cute bomber style jacket with the ruffles. Damnit. The shoe selection at Dillard’s is pretty large too (it’s no Nordstrom, obviously), although I was disappointed to learn they don’t carry Frye boots.
Only thing that’s missing from Promenade is the Orange Julius/​Dairy Queen combo that Woodland Hills Mall is lucky enough to have. But driving out to 71^st isn’t worth it just for an orange julius.

Here’s the thing with Promenade– you must appreciate the kitsch. It’s not your «Woodland Hills,» so if that’s your thing, just make the dreadful drive to 71^st. But, if you like good people watching and shopping at a mall that boasts carpet (that’s right– carpet), then this is your place! Plus, because not a lot of people shop there, the selection of things at the stores is great. I.E. the Dillard’s shoe collection. At least give it a chance– you might be surprised!

In my quest for Halal food in Tulsa, I ended up in the Promenade Mall food court. There’s a place here which sells Halal gyros, which were pretty good, nothing like the ones in Norman, OK, but still pretty decent. It’s hard getting Halal food around here, so it’s still a blessing :)
