Powerhouse Mall

Over priced, not much to look at or go through. Only real reason to stop is the lindt chocolate store just as you pull in.

Love this store and all the workers. Moved from CA and they helped me buy everything I needed to survive my first real winter. Everyone is helpful and well informed. Highly recommended ll bean products and this location. I am an ll bean fan for life now!

First thing first. Great décor. I loved the paper lanterns. They were so neat, I just had to take a picture!
LL bean, I rarely buy anything from here, its more like a come in and daydream about my outdoorsy «someday» adventures. Pretty nice & clean store, personally I prefer the Freeport location better (read: indoor pond!). There is also a EMS here to!
The kids outdoor game sort of shop (I don’t recall the name) had a lot of cool things to look at and Christmas presents that I could have bought for my nieces and nephews.
Sweet somethings & Lindt chocolates (not technically in the mall) to cure a sweet tooth!
There is also a yankee candle across the road from the Lindt chocolate shop.
There are some «interesting» shops as well like one that sells violins and ballerina wear.
Look up the other stores or come in for LL Bean and have a look around! Be warned tho: everything is a bit pricy in this mall! All and all it was a nice stop to do some window shopping after dinner.

If you likewise aged women’s specialty boutique stores, this mall is for you. It has two anchoring «chain» stores in LL Bean, and EMS. These two store are why we shop at the powerhouse mall. But the other stores are a little too «specialty boutique» with the boutique pricing to boot, for me to shop in any of them.

I can’t believe this place is still open. The stores here are all overpriced and nothing special. LL Bean and EMS are probably keeping this place open. No food court or even a coffee shop and the restaurant (Lui Lui) isn’t really even part of it. Outside of the holiday season this place is always dead. Nice architecture but other than that this place is a waste of time.

Expensive and irrelevant aside from EMS and LLBean together in one place.

The Powerhouse is what you would call a «non-​traditional» mall, which is a good thing in many ways. This mall is free of all of the following:
–Most of the chain stores you will see at every other mall in America (Macy’s, Gap, fye, Claire’s, Hot Topic, etc.)
–Kiosk vendors who really, really want to sell you sunglasses or a wall calender
–Loitering teens
–Grumpy security guards
In fact, I used to hate the Powerhouse back when I was a wannabe loitering teen. But now that I have matured (slightly), I must admit that it has some redeeming features, as well as some good stores:
–The amazing old-​fashioned sweets shop. EVERYTHING in this store is delicious, and you will want to buy a pound of it all.
–L.L. Bean, for all of you die-​hard New England outdoorsy types. They have good sales sometimes, too.
–The toy/​nature store that has everything from insect-​catching supplies to historical coloring books.
–Plenty of (rather frumpy) clothing stores catering to women my mom’s age & older. But if you’re looking for a tasteful gift for her or grandma, you should have no trouble here. And tax-​free!
Note: If you have a chance, try shopping here around Christmas. The decorations are nice, and the atmosphere of the old mill-​turned-​mall is festive and very pleasant– can you honestly say that about any other mall during the month of December?

The Powerhouse Mall is an old mill that was turned into a cool mall. 2 levels of shopping. The powerhouse offers cool shops, boutiques, café’s and restaurants.
I love the cool wooden «cobblestones» bricks that make up the floor. The one big anchor store is LL Bean which I can get lost into looking at camping, skiing, and kayaking equipment.
Its not a «real» corporate” mall which I like. It has a small New England feel to it.
Less than 1 mile from the VT border in tax free NH.
