The Dayton mall used to be a vibrant place to shop. Through no fault of their own they have lost 2 anchor stores. With that said the place is dirty and the landscaping is awful. Parking lot is in horrible shape and the bathrooms and beyond nasty.
A growing and dynamic location. Always adding new business. No more than a handful of stores have left.
Really gone downhill does not feel safe evenings and weekends
Not really big which I love. Crowdee only over weekends.
This place is a dead end, so many vacant shops.. anyway didn't find what I was looking for.
Awesome attractions at the mall. I remember early 2000s that it didn't have nothing there but all the stores combined and makes it even more better.
Very good mall for weekday shopping. There are many stores in here. Macys being the biggest of em all.
I wasn't at the Dayton mall i was at olive garden and the food was good the trivia was entertaining, the staff was polite but hard to hear with those stupid masks on and it took awhile to get in because of the new health code standard.
Store selection is fairly average. There are a lot of bigger (and better) malls not too far away. That being said, there is nothing bad about this Mall in general.
Even though the mall era has all but past, Dayton Mall still has a lot to offer. Some really nice boutique shops with distinctive merchandise along with the remaining anchor stores of Macy's & JC Penneys. Met some new vendors today & plan on coming back to do business with them. Good place to shop.
Not very busy for a Friday night and a few stores were even closed before 8 pm.
For people who write reviews should be "smart enough" to write a review! When you are writing a "review" for the "mall", it should be "about" the "mall" and not a "store or vendor" within the mall! It's not the fault of the mall that a "nail tech" within the mall isn't qualified to work on your "nails" Jennifer. The mall is very clean and has plenty of parking!
2 gun territory. Watch your back in the parking lot.
The Dayton Mall has a lot to offer if you like mall shopping.
Expansive mall with major and lesser known shops. Traffic can be difficult at times even in non-peak shopping times.
The most ratchet experience ever is the dirty dayton mall today
I feel that the store fronts are all so similar that it's hard to find my way around the mall anymore. I'd love a variety of stores, places that sell something other than designer clothes or expensive trinkets. I find myself avoiding the shops to simply browse the food court, which has stayed nice for a long time despite changing venues.
I go to the mall sometime to go shopping and I remeneic on how popular the mall used to be. I remember when the mall was full of people and now it's not full but I still go. I hope that the Dayton mall stays open and for that reason I will continue to shop at the Dayton mall.
Beware of the Bobble Shop if they're still there. I ordered and paid for a bobblehead and it never showed up in the mail (have to pay for it to be delivered later). There's no number to get in touch with this store owner.
I called the mall office to get the contact info for this kiosk to be told that they 'don't think' the Bobble Shop was there anymore.
Pretty decent mall. Clean and good amount of stores. Has most of the most popular stores.
I love walking around here because of the great people
Coming to the Dayton Mall breaks my heart anymore. I've been going to the mall for about as long as I can remember. I've seen many stores come and go, but realized that this was just the nature of things. It still seemed so lively...until now. I realize that this is a digital age nowadays, but the loss of huge anchor stores such as Sears and Elder Beerman sucked the life out of this place.
There used to be such a large variety of stores that it was almost overwhelming. You practically couldn't ever run out of things to do. Even the middle of the stores had something to look at. But nowadays, all the big stores have left and you only have a few of the legacy stores left. Tons of generic and, frankly, unexciting and unfriendly stores practically litter the mall now. You now have two massive and noticable husks of Dayton Mall stables lying around, and for the most part, the energy is practically all gone. I went to a small hobby shop to get a game and the cashier was just blasting music and barely even looked at me even as I was paying.
The Dayton Mall is far from dead, but it isn't the brimming-with-energy-and-smiles like it used to be. I only ever come here for GameStop, and even then... There's one outside the store as well. I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon.
This mall was originally scouted by George Romero as a location to film Dawn of the Dead. No. That's a lie. It sounded good though, right?
Great place with lots of good stores. Lots of available parking too. Great for anyone looking to get all their shopping done in one place as well as have a fun day out.
I generally avoid malls like the plague, but some places (TWC) make them unavoidable. The 'outbuildings' did have a nice mix of interesting store. Kudo's to Direct or Dish.. whoever put their store immediately NEXT to TWC.. great marketing *LOL*
Every year all the way to college had both my son's ready
Pretty good selection of shops, I only really come here to walk around and get my exercise since the lower back surgery. I'm afraid slip if I walk outside break my hip.
Great stores and restaurants! This place has improved!
Macy's had a fantastic sale at the Dayton Mall on boots for ladies let's go hurry up I was quite impressed
Well is always the number one place to go. Is easy to find you can get in and out quickly, and it has all the stores I love if you are looking for a traditional Mall well you can go in and out maybe grab a bite and get a new shirt to go to that last minute party Dayton Mall is your place
It's all we got around here. I'm grateful for that.
All of The good smaller clothing stores are leaving, ie. Gap, Abercrombie. The only thing keeping this mall around are the anchor stores.
Some good stores. Missing a lot of key stores you would find in other malls.
Got pickpocketed at Fetch, A few nice stores but not much to do overall .
Still a lovely place to shop, eat and pay my T-Mobile bill
The Mall is cool to take you in anytime, normal business hours apply. If the Mall were closer than a football field away, they'd get more business from me. Find your brands at "The Mall"!
Just stopped on my way through. It was nice plenty big and lots of fun for my little one
Pretty good, feels kinda empty. Good stores, food, and there's a bunch of stuff for children
Clean and there are lots of stores. The mall is never super busy but there can be a good crowd
Truly has everything you need. Not too crowded. Decent parking. Clean.
the mall is great, there are more stores now than the last time we visited. Stores like hollister have an awesome customer service, except for Dick's, I dont want to sound rude but my husband had an awful experience there (btw we are asian). It is sad when some people cannot accept other nationalities and when they see one, they dont treat them right (the sales agent is a white dude by the mens section).
but over all we like the mall and we will come back and shop there again.
The stores in front of the mall are ok. The mall itself is dead
Jcpenny is my favorite department store. There are always great deals. It s always easy to locate staff if you have questions or need any sort of help
Getting to be one of the most sorry malls in area needs more security guards lots of undesirable people walking around will not recommend people spending much time shopping there. Seems you are watching out for trouble instead of freely shopping
