Wait.... Alpena has a mall?!Oh, you mean that big empty warehouse on the south side. Its a really good place to...............Yeah nevermind
Dead mall. Nothing worth mentioning here but a shoe store and a sporting goods store
Very shut down. No stores really. It was like a ghost town while we were there. Pretty much seen all the stores in 10 minutes
Not much of a mall anymore, lol.
Good but almost no stores due to such high rent its quite sad how little stores there are now
The shops that are there arev very nice there just not much there. Malls all over the world are declining and this one in this small town has survived and is very nice still just a lack of stores makes it 4 stars!
I love the Alpena mall because it is small and has the best shoe store along with great prices.There is also a unique gift shop that I like to shop for gifts.
I’ve lived in Alpena for years! nothing in the mall has changed or gotten fixed. it’s a ghost town. no one is ever there, staff is boring or seem tired. so if you wanna go into basically an abandoned building without getting arrested or in trouble for trespassing. this mall if ur best shot :)
Sad how little visit mall but lots of cool stores to see and great area to walk for sure during winter
The American shopping mall is a dying art form. This was a small center to begin with, but it was a little sad to see very few merchants. There was one store in particular that had a lot of unique items that made it worth a look anyway.
While the mall itself might be rather small, the employees more than make up for it. There’s a variety of unique shops, and we really enjoyed our visit. We will definitely go back!
The Style WhereHouse is Fantastic! I love their ever-changing selection of great clothes for women and men! They have shoes and jewelry too! Its a great consignment shop! If youre in the area, you should stop by and check it out, youre bound to find something you cant leave without! 😀
Went to the Shoe Dept and they had sooooo many choices lol.. I wish more people knew about the mall in Alpena. There are some cool stores that people just dont know about.
Employees are so beautiful friendly I just love you guys thank you Alpena is the way to go its a beautiful place to live I love it I love it I love it
If you wanted 20 places to buy clothes, here you go. I only come here for Cobbygoose and Hungry Hippie, but its nice to see some of the local businesses flourish. Needs more variety for sure.
For whats left in the building was nice, wish it had more outlets to shop. I left my phone and a giveaway support and someone found it took few pictures and left it in the spot, made me laugh photos attached is the person who found it Im assuming
Like a lot of malls, the advent of online shopping have left their mark on their hallowed halls. Poorly lit at times and occasionally smelling of animals, depending on who holds a lease there. A real bummer but hopefully new anchor stores will breathe new life into the place. I keep my expectations low. However, they do have a farmers market in there occasionally. I like fresh produce and handicrafts offered then. I also must mention the baked goods.
Go-to the mall and shop, nice people work there and the things you are wanting are here....avoid Amazon and the large amounts of cardboard waste thats overspilling in our landfills and the amount of energy wasted to bring you a box which contains a product you could get at your local store...keep local stores alive and eliminate spending money to make Jeff bezos rich while he says his employees part time minimum wages so he can stuff his pockets further
They have a great new pet store where we were able to get a large quantity of fish for pond without the Hassel of going to the big box screwball stores.A welcome place for our area, were glad to have youse here
I like our mall. No, it isnt a big city mall with a hundred stores, but it has a nice sense of community. If you stop by, you might see the farmers market folks set up selling all kinds of good stuff. Youll see people walking during the winter and if youre local, youll bump into some friends to chat with for a bit. Youll find good deals at JC Penney, or a really nice sport coat in your size at Style Wherehouse. You might find that beanie boo your grandkid is desperate for or a neat art experience at Cobby Goose. We were there at the Shoe Dept today for some shoes for my daughter for the dance at the HS and they were a really good deal. Anyway, lots of reasons to check it out and you wont have to walk in half a mile from the parking lot.
Went to Gordons Food store. Mainly bulk items there. Nice if your catering a dinner or affair all kinds of frozen foods you just need to heat and serve. Supplies if you want to start from scratch and make your own. All manner of pots pans and utensils.
It’s really sad that most of the stores that used to be here aren’t anymore because of the damage to our economy by the government... love the ones that are still there though!
Nice little mall thats clean and well maintained. Got some good deals at JCPenney. Too bad the Sears hometown wont be participating in SYW any longer.
Hardly anyone there and barely any stores there are open, most haved closed down. It was a wasted trip for me.
The Alpena Mall is a cute indoor mall that holds 20 unique small businesses. Whether youre looking for a new pair of shoes, needing a new fish, wanting a refreshing new hair style or want to browse the local farmers market youll find it here. Stop in and see them, youll be surprised by what you might find.
Its a small mall, has the small town necessities, but not much else. There isnt much for specialty stores there. Its better than it was a few years ago with the renovations and addition of Dunhams, but I would like to see some other stores in there too.
They want me to share my details on my experience at the mall. I dont just go there to hang out or walk or shop. I actually work at JC Penny! I just want to say though that after I started working there, I really havent shopped at Walmart since then! JCPenneys has really good deals! I love the clearance sales especially when they have an extra 40 or 50% off the clearance item! And if they have coupons you can use them on top of the clearance with the extra percent off! If you have a $10 reward that you earned after getting 200 points you can also use that with a coupon! You can use a $10 reward they coupon but you cannot use two coupons together in one transaction. If you sign up for a JC Penny card you will get 15% off and if they have a coupon for 20% off your penny card, you will get to 15% off and the 20% off as soon as you get approved!! So come on in to JC Penny and check out all the sales and deals that we have in store because Im sure you will enjoy what you find or at least see that there is lots of things to choose from that you cannot buy from Walmart or Meijer or any other store besides this one!
This place is dead. There arent really any stores to shop at. I dont think Alpena can claim to have a shopping mall.
Some of the shops I visited didnt even greet me. One guy at matteress center walked away didnt even bother to say hi or ask how he can help. Went next day dressed up and that same person greeted me. They lost my business. No matter how a customer may look you treat all the same.
Prattscape is a top scale,truly something for everyone, store.The beautiful decorations create an uplifting, almost fairytale shopping experience.I found the employees always willing to do the extra thing to be helpful and friendly.
During the 2016 Christmas holidays there is a spectacular kiosk, that is right through the main entrance doors, that is a fashion lovers dream. There are splendid Christmas gifts for everyone. Their prices are the best in the state.
I miss the old mall.
Old, needs to be up dated.JCPenny could breath life into it again by putting an escalator in and adding a second floor. More room for them and it would modernize the store. Could breath life into a dying Mall.
A nice and clean place to go not alot of stores but they are always willing to help
Its hardly a mall, the JCP went under recently so now its jus a gr8 place to walk around, and there may or may not be a food place. you could just go to Meijer instead
Lets be honest. I wouldnt consider it a real mall. It has about 10-15 stores. Some are vision, hair, nails, lawn equipment. So I would consider it to be okay in ratings.
Most of the retailers are gone from this space I visited the shoe store which was fully stocked and very nice
Over the years, stores just dont stay consistent here. Every time I come here every year or two theres something new something closes.The stores that are here should stay, especially K-otic games, but it could use more.
Small but has Sears and Pennys! And a new store is about to open called Upcycle Everything. Really good artist with an excellent concept. Opening soon!
Vast improvement over the last few years. The mall has stores open again and people milling about again. Nice to see the mall getting cleaned up and the business picking up.
They REALLY need to open earlier. Every time that I have wanted to go there to shop they are closed. If they opened at 9am it would be greatly appreciated and I would shop there more often.
Theres been some noticeable improvements over the last couple of years. The finish line how we need now is some more stores in there and a Long John Silvers then Alpena would be complete
With a JC Penney, Coffee shop and a game store, a Shoe Depot. This place isnt the biggest mall, but is great for quick school shopping trips.
The mall is primarily vacated. Havent been there in about a year.
I only went into one place there with a friend they were looking for shoes and boots and the shoe shop I cant remember what it was called but it started with shoe lol anyways that place was awesome with very friendly staff. If I could Id go there for shoes and boots myself
Seems like most stores close fast, pushes young community away to make room for people who mall walk. Would love to see it grow.
Needs more and better shops. Has some nice ones and is a nice space but there really isnt enough.
Great coffee house inside. Love Glicks and the resale clothing store. Cool video game store with some older games from childhood.
For what little stores are in this mall, its not too bad. Its not a place Id go for heavy duty shopping, but to walk around and buy a few things here and there.
This place is downright sad. I went in the middle of the day on a weekend and half the lights werent even on and maybe 1/3 of the stores were open. There was nobody else there but an old couple sitting on a bench outside of a store. Felt like something out of a zombie apocalypse movie.
Not much there anymore not really a mall dont have anything there
They have a lot of good shops in there good people and real good deals I like going to GNC in the mall the manager is very nice and knowledgeable about all their products a big thumbs up
Could be much better but considering its in a very depressed town, theyre doing pretty well. People may complain but tge grass is not always greener.Worth the stop.
Quiet not to many customers around. Short wait time at the check out.
I wish the mall we had was bigger & that they would get some better stores....
All my favorite places in one area!
Went to the pet store karma is a fish. Love that place. They have the best supplies for all my pets. Best pet store in this area
Not as many shops as before but thats to be expected in this new market we live in.The few places that are there at pretty neat.
Great place. No complaints other than some stores close earlier than advertised. Otherwise, great.
I miss JCP! But I still enjoy visiting the remaining stores.
Like most malls in America, this one is more than half vacant stores. Nice cool place to walk on a hot day, or a warm place to walk on a cold one.
This mall has filled out compared to recent years. There are stores with apparel, shoes, home goods, salon, a cafe and some other odds and ends.
It is a nice place to shop and you can walk through the mall for an excercise plan.
There isnt really much there, the shops that are there are adorable & nice, but it is definitely a dying industry.
Clean well lit both inside and out. Nice up north feel if you have the need to be in a mall environment
No longer anything here
DOA... Nothing left except Dunhams Sporting Goods... and even that is challenged by scant employees on duty.
Excellent service at Skiba Vision, very patient and helpful technicians/staff. Highly recommend them for all your eye needs.
Fun place to shop, more alive than most small town malls
Dont know what to say. Drive through the parking lot. You could fit this mall in ours 10 times.
Dont plan on window shopping, there isnt anything in there. You can see the whole thing in 30 minutes (if you also explore the parking lot).
Mall was almost empty.The place was Cool though...we always wanted to check it out..good place ..
Its like a ghost town, only a handful of stores are open. Everything else closed.
I like buying in bulk , so I dont have to make so many trips to town !
Not much left anymore, sad
Trying to get WiFi at either cabin Creek, cobby good or just the mall, its like playing an infuriating game of whack a mole. Its ridiculous.
Love all malls but this is the closest mall on the northeast by oscoda only 1hr away and love the shoe depo and jcpenney
I love the mall. Wish there were more stores like there use to be.
I really like a store here...sad to see Pennys go
This place looked run down. Not a great selection of mens sandals nor a good variety of sizes.
Its a small town mall populated with folks I can relate to ... totally non threatening atmosphere ... nice change from God forsaken cities
Love this mall! Has sll the stores necessary to get the things you need.
Check out Gordons
Ive always enjoyed visiting the Alpena Mall but it does not have the best selection of stores for its visitors and local clientele.
Ive allways loved old town malls ther staffed by friendlier people. Then the big city malls.
Could be great, but instead decided to just be meh. It is the only indoor mall in the area.
Small mall, not many stores, a resale shop, they have some high end nice stuff,
Good stores only wish they hadnt closed so many of them
The mall is mostly empty and abandoned.
It used to be filled with stores, now not as many. If it werent for Dunhams and Gordons food service I would not even visit.
Love all the new stores and what the new mall owners are doing to make it a great place to shop!
If they brought in more hip stores this place would get much more business!
Nice stores to shop from, just wish we had a bigger mall with more to choose from :-(
Nice mall. However, its very unfortunate Penneys is closing 😣
A small mall, but they have a great second hand store inside and just love some JC Penny!
Not like malls in larger cities, but they try. A few nice shops, friendly atmosphere.
The stores in there that is left are very nice
Why not just bulldoze this place and build a garbage dump. It would be more useful.
Love this place whats left of it needs to get more stores...
Small and kind of jenky. They need better stores like foot locker or lids.
Comparable to the dying mall in Escanaba. A future gathering place for flea markets, and pyramid scheme trade shows.
Needs more retail stores. Bath and body works would be nice for starters....
Gordens foods bought what I needed right back out..
Not a lot of stores
Always worth the stop whether youre shopping or mall walking.
Only mall in Alpena, stores inside are pretty cool I guess, nice art gallery
Very sad lack of stores to shop in. When Pennys is gone theres nothing worth going there for.
Not much left in the mall
Jenny and Henry were so nice. Great nails and I would go back.
Sad to see so many businesses gone.
This mall is dead. Barely anything left.
For a small mall still has nice places to do business.
Its a ghost town no more stores
No crowds no traffic easy shopping, with a couple cool stores
Theres only like two stores in the thing
This mall has nice stores but could use more premier stores.
Pennys is good place to shop but needs to be a bigger store
Sadly theres hardly anything left in our local mall....
Better then it used to be, but still has a limited selection of stores.
Nice atmosphere... variety of stores are increasing...great job!
Helpful friendly staff. They always answer my questions and help me to find exactly what I need.
Nice little town mall, not much to choose from. GNC, koatic and the exotic fish stores are nice
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Egg rolls are awesome.
Im going to remain nutral on this one! They need to bring more businesses to the mall!
4*s only for hungry hippie and k-otic
Not very many stores. JcPenney is always good. And The Shoe Dept.
I will always love the mall Im a hometown gal but its the Alpena mall
It looks like its going under. That might be because I was there in the winter time.Winter in Alpena, Michigan is BRRRRRutal !!!!
Great story of the area. Kids will love this place.
We all will miss the mall
More like a empty hall, this is where businesses go to die, and everyone wonders why its online shopping
The Winters have made the mall a very friendly place again. I can actually say that I go to church there... Cornerstone Church.
Hungry hippie was fantastic. Live their food.
Its nice but theres nothing there anymore. Overpriced outlets.
Hours a little goofy, but we are in the middle of a pandemic.
A fun place to shop and walk for exercise. I love the atmosphere and the shops.
Not many stores. The anchors such as jcpennys and shoe store there and a few small businesses.
Im surprised its open. Nail store had one lady working. Myself and 6 others had to leave because of lack of staff.
Pitiful little waste of time space. Always has been. Better to shop online or downstate.
Really nice stores, could use more!
A nice little mall it just isint that big.
Great service. I been wearing glasses for 42 years and this place is the best
Its a mall. I really dont like malls
Small but cozy with nice stores to shop at.
Small but only place in alpena to really go so overall its Good place to go
Yep michiganshadow.org
It has some shops... not much, but it is fun when they do events.
Had cute little stores in there for buying gift
Great place to gather for the fireworks.
Awesome stores great place to visit a good variety
Nice enough place. Just wish there was more variety.
Great place to walk and have a little bit of everything.
The place to get your Covid shots... Thats about it now
Love the convenience of our local mall!
Not many stores, but the JCPENNEY is well stocked. They had just what I was looking for.
Nuttin there anymore
Good please to shop
Good service
Nice place very clean many stores .
Not many stores or even life at this mall. But its still there and doors are open.
Cabin Creek Coffee and getting my nails done. Perfect!
Needs more motivation towards the younger, boring to walk through it
This place has really died since I was last in the area. Sort of makes me sad.
More like a shopping plaza, theres not really to much mall to it
Has a great game store in mall. New, used and retro.
Miss the old-school 80s days of the mall
The alpena mall is not a mall at all but a hallway with a bunch of empty spaces
Extremely small selection, I believer the Sears is expanding though.
Nice shoe store and a very clean GFS.
Not my first choice for shopping. Not enough variety in stores.
Too bad most of the stores are closing
Need a few more stores of variety
There are in the right place with the best collection of stores to serve you
It has mostly 2nd hand options or extremely pricy options. Never busy.
Using the word mall liberally these days. Lol
Older mall, not much there to shop other than JC Pennys
Only mall in town..you have to love it.
Gordons great selection and stafg
So great to fly from home.
I love playing the coin pusher game
Visited Gordon Foods not GNC this time. Like shopping at both.
There are very few stores so the options are limited.
Only went to Mijers for a few groceries
Limited on storefronts. Its up for sale.
Jcpenny is the only reason I go here. The staff there is awesome.
Small and could use some better stores
I shopped at GFS. The staff were friendly & helpful.
Lots of stores. New places. Nice pet store.
Way too small you could barely even be considered it a mall

2021-12-01Ive been shopping at the Shoe Department for several years now and have purchased many pairs of shoes, Sketches, New Balance and other brands, good prices and if they dont have your size, they will order what you need and send it to your door

2021-04-02The mall is very low occupancy wise. However, I went specifically to visit Stitches n Blooms. Wow, what a great store, beautiful cross stitch and framing store. Karen and her husband Michael do a wonderful job with their presentation and their work! Loved it! Thank you!!!!!💗
