Mall At Barnes Crossing Management Office

Okay, this mall is a definite step up from Jasper mall. The Belk is larger and carries more upscale clothing like Polo and Nautica. Plus, there are more deals here but the place looks a bit depressing. Good idea to split up the women’s store from the men’s and home store for Belk. Other shops look kinda sparse but everyone is represented here. I think the neighboring outdoor stores look more interesting if you ask me. There is a cinema which looks like it has $ 5 nights on Tuesdays.

Well, this is a large complex including stores around the edges around the Mall Drive, so it’s not entirely self-​contained, but the section that is enclosed has anchor stores including:
102 — Barnes & Noble
300 — Belk
400 — Belk Men’s Store
500 — Dick’s Sporting Goods
200 — JC Penney
100 — Sears
A number of mall stores like Loft, Movies 8, AE, Coldwater Creek, Aerie, Victoria Secret, Hot Topic, Footlocker, etc. are all within.
There’s a push to make it kid-​fun. $ 1/​person carousel rides for the kids, a kid play area in the center by the food court (the tables need some cleaning, though, we came before lunch rush at 11am and the tables were dirty), there’s a little train that rides through half the mall (1 adult, 1 kid = $ 5), and the day we went there was a bigger toddler/​kid (3−10yrs old) area where they could be hooked up and jump on a supported trampoline and flip. Looked like fun, but I was way too big for it.
It’s a mall, clean and empty during a work day… I suppose it gets busier at night and on the weekends.

A mall? Really it has been years since my last visit to this mall. So excited to drive 70 plus miles to get to a real mall. Well what a disappointment. One level mall with not much of a variety.
I was really surprised that this city did not have more to offer. The mall is clean, but many open storefronts and really not much to draw you in to shop. No good wing stores. Obviously, something is wrong here, both days I came here the mall had hardly anybody in it. Sure you can blame it on the economy but really I think it is more that the simple fact other than a very few stores you do not have nothing to offer.
I can only guess that people who live here drive to Memphis to shop at nicer malls.
