Deplorable, run down, trash everywhere, and no lights on except for construction lights. Sad.
Definitely run down and not takien care of. Would definitely feel its abandoned.
This mall is falling apart, and I honestly I wish someone would take and just redu this whole mall, it has potential to be great again. Some people say they grew up with this mall. I think this mall needs rebuilding and honestly it needs to be beautiful again.
Its pretty desolate but they have the Oil Bar in there and it has some really good oils and shea butter that I like to use
It smelled like moisture or wet carpet entering in by the food court. Great selection of shoe stores.
Go see legoland!!! My family loved it! Adults and kids both!! Master builder Maxx was great!!
This mall looks straight out of an apocalypse wasteland movie set. Things are falling apart, 90% of the stores are closed, it smells musty. Handful of boutique type places/small business stands. I was shocked to even see a place this run down in operation. We pulled into the parking lot and thought surely this was an abandoned mall. Nope, still open. Bizarre.
I was at Saragas, they finally opened. Place is huge! I took my daughter and she was totally in awe. Only complaint is watch for the freshness of the produce. However, the variety is fantastic!
It was ok but its not alot of stores in the mall and they lids hat place didnt have a lot of selections of hats
Fifteen years ago Eastland Mall was going by the wayside of the old Southland Mall... Its still here! Ive been gone from Columbus for the last eight years and I did not expect to find this place here. The Eastside definitely need new development opportunities as long as the Eastland Mall stands, money will she away.
Majority of the stores are closed not sure if its due to the pandemic, but it was a waste of time burning gas driving over there
Old place and you can smell it , rest room are dirty. Few shops
The mall go to be fire again like easton on god.. But still have a good vjbe and the people ㋛❤︎
Pleasantly surprised at the number and quality of businesses in Eastland Mall still. But the outside of the Mall is littered with trash. Sad to see the lack of pride in the area--it is absolutely filthy.
Its a very nice and massive mall I had a good time.
The mall can be so much more. Broken doors that you have to open yourself, has no real feel to it that makes you want to go in or even stay once you do. Needs a lot of development done and soon because I wouldnt recommend this mall to anyone.
Falling apart every other store is empty and the whole place smells like a bad fryer the parking lot is full of potholes and dont bother its about to be a dead mall
The major retailers are not in the mall, but I still enjoy coming here to buy specific items you do not find anywhere else
I figured with this being the grand opening the staff would’ve been welcoming and friendly but NO. Didn’t get a chance to try the food because the environment itself turned me off. None of the staff were smiling nobody greeted us they actually were looking at us as if we were not supposed to be there. This is exactly why some people don’t support black owned businesses. Me as a black woman take pride in supporting deserved black owned businesses. However if the business has poor customer service, lack of friendliness, poor product quality etc I will never support them. Change staff!!!!!!!
The place has nothing to really offer since there are hardly any stores open there. How ever i wish it was like it was a long time ago plus it would be great for that area it would be great for the people who live in that area. Lets bring EastLand Mall back to what it use to be.
Not many stores. But it was a nice experience. The little pop up shops are super cute and convenient. If you like to support small businesses and love natural essential for your body. This is the place to go.
I was sad to see a lot of the stores are not there anymore. But they do have some different stores. Not to bad on prices. I was really sad to see Claires is no longer there.
A vintage dying mall! They seem to care about it and keep it pretty clean. A lot of shoe stores and local businesses plus a vintage lids. The parking lot can be a bit rough in spots pavement wise. The mall feels like you stepped back in time, but in a good way. Id avoid the restroom at one of the main entries. It looks like it was in a war zone. Just watch out for the shoe hustlers. Hope this mall stays open for everyone to enjoy.
Over grown with weeds and plants, this entire mall looks like something straight out of an apocalypse movie, like 80% of the Mall is empty everything is boarded up and it looks insanely run down. This place needs to just be completely shut down and torn down and hopefully used for something better then over grown plants and homeless people hang out spot. Rather build a brand new mall thats better, apartment complex, or a strip mall like idle something to bring this area back to life.
Sad to see it this way ( run down ) But its an eyesore and very sketchy anymore. It just needs torn down.
Go ahead and shut it down… It’s over… NO LIGHTS IN THE PARKING LOT!!! Not a safe place for anyone… If you just have to go, make sure it’s before it gets dark…
Fire food with a talented staff!!! The food here is magical with Mediterranean inspired dishes along side your all time favorites. Shrimp lobster pineapple chicken bowl fresh fruits and veggies salads and more!!! Dont let your taste buds miss out!!!! 🔥
A husk of what it used to be. The stores remaining are mostly low to mid tier clothing and shoe stores. If you like to support local businesses, maybe stop by because a lot of the shops seem to be family-run (at least, I have never heard of them before). The food court has gone up in price overall though - every stall charges $10+ for an entree/combo now so if you want to save some money, there’s plenty of fast food joints right across the street.
You cant tell from the outside ( I blame the management for the lack of lanscaping) but there are some wonderful businesses inside the mall. Please support!
This place is about to close and thats ashame. This should not happen.
This place looks and smells a mess either fix it or tail it down it looks bad
There is no upkeep. The weeds were huge. Most Stores were boarded up. People bumming money at the entrance. Sign on the door warning of vehicles not safe to park. I did not see any security.
Poor quality building. The city cited several times threatening to close it
A good place for seniors especially to go walking for your health. You can walk around outside for more steps. Little to no traffic and you have assess to sidewalks. Two restrooms inside available if needed also water fountains. Open up now at 11 due to the pandemic situation. I am thinking that is why. Wear mask 😷
Was closed and looked abandoned and trash everywhere. How ever there was a church in it.
For Years Me And My Family I Have Been Going To Eastland Mall But Now Days Its Just Been Left Run Down Not Any Stores Barely In It Its Said This Mall Would Have Slot Of Potential If Yall Will Fix It Up Put A Movie Theater In It And Better Stores Stop Leaving Are Mall Run Down Fix It Up Wat Yall Waiting For Thats Not The Only Thing Everything Out East Been Taking For Us Stop Doing That Put Stuff Back Out East Instead Off Leaving Areas And Buildings Out East Run Down Period.
Had a good and most importantly to myself, different variety of stores. Friendly and Welcoming atmosphere,buut bathrooms are very shady for sure as well as parking lot.The womens bathroom toilets first off are toddler size (just throwing that out there)and it was also not the cleanest. The parking lot was a disaster and is very tightly packed ! and trashcans are knocked down all over. More pros than cons overall though.
This is where I get my eyebrows done Ive been going there for over 3 years excellent service
Eastland Mall is fantastic now that Buckeye Motor Sales is there facing Refugee Rd.My daughter and I were looking for a car 🚗 with a specific amount....Bradley and Steve went above and beyond to find the perfect car!The sales people Cody and Amy were so much 💗 fun to work with.Got the job done ✅.Fast, efficient and trustworthy!!Highly recommend5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Most of the mall is vacant. Except for “Grills” store (mouth jewelry that went out of style 12 years ago) and shoe stores.Nothing but a certain culture goes to that mall. All you hear is arguing, fighting and people who have belts on...but their pants are around their knees. 🤦♂️Don’t go. Unless you’re looking for a gang shootout.
Eastland mall used to be great. Not so much any more. All of the anchor stores are closed and boarded up. The parking lot is over grown and looks deserted. The inside is still open though and there are some small mom and pop stores still operating.
All of the Malls should have been fixed up. Northland, eastland and westland malls all had potential to redesign and include stores and more restaurants that are in other states that we don’t have. I hate driving to Easton and definitely Polaris it’s a hellacious drive for me. Since COVID came in and screwed us around I guess on line shopping will just have to do. #keephopealive
Small used to pop back in the early 90s and in the late 90s now this place is dead I just pray that God brings the value of that mall back up to what it was before
I used to go here as a kid, but now its just a husk of what it used to be.Sure theres Foot Locker and a couple small businesses, but other than that, its just not the same place it used to be. Hopefully it will be under new management in the coming years and doesnt become a dead mall.
It starts to coming back again.. Hopefully they can turn it to be good soon.. more stores opening again..Nice Food court, variety of food.. Couple of men Decent urban stores.. For real clothing Valentinos is there as well..New management, hopefully could do something.. It is feeling more unsafe to be there..
Go to Evelyns Table in the food court, your welcome
Love this store but the full figure clothing for women is better thin the slimmer women
Very sad and depressing to see how this mall has gone down hill over the years. Inside there are more empty spaces than anything else and no effort to freshen up the space. Outside it looks like the property has been deserted .The parking lot ans surrounding area in poor care like the landlord doesnt want to invest any amount in curb appeal
My daughters came here they love this mall it says a lot of things they like in the mall and I believe that they have applied to work there in one of the stores not quite sure which one
We all knew eastland was pretty run down at this point. Body Jewel was the last reason I ever came here and its gone now which is unfortunate but thats not the reason I wont coming back. Its because we are in the middle of a pandemic and there are required mask signs on all doors, but no one. Not a single person was wearing a mask correctly or at all. Shop owners and patrons. We saw one other person with a mask over their nose and mouth during the brief time inside. We saw more than 20+ people with no masks on. Most shop employees had masks no where near them. This is not a safe place to go. I repeat EASTLAND MALL IS A SHOPPING CENTER RAMPANT WITH COVID19.
Ive always loved this mall but its losing stores. I heard theyre supposed to be adding more black businesses soon. Thatll save that mall from completely closing. All of the stores werent open tho. Probably bc of covid. 😷 Are required.
Filthy,violent,and in need of a bulldozer and wrecking ball.DONT GO!
This mall is atrocious. Half the shops are empty, hours are adjusted to cope with massive theft, parking lot is an eyesore and owner doesnt care. There are virtually no established businesses here anymore, just start ups that are often not there your next visit. The food court has gone the same route, it used to have national big name restaurants and now its whoevers rented the spot this month. Avoid at all costs and go somewhere decent.
They still have stores open inside especially shoe stores like footlocker, Champs, and journeys. Other cool stores too and restaurants at food court. I honestly didnt think that much was still going in inside there lol.
This mall is closed , pls do not go
Dont know why people say the mall is closing, dirty, run-down, no stores, etc. Just because the anchor stores are gone, doesnt mean there are NO stores. As far as clean goes, they have regular cleaners going around with cleaning carts ALL day. The outside my not look all that great, but the inside is very nice, especially with ALL the Christmas decorations, music, Santa, and the Christmas Village. Still a nice place to come shop, walk, get a cup of coffee, and enjoy your time spent at Eastland Mall!
This will always be a go to place. Its just sad that all there billionaires dont want to invest and make this place great again. Polaris and Tuttle mall will always be great but why do we have to drive 25 minutes away to shop. The community may have its down falls but the right security and the right stores will bring the customers! Think about it!
I grew up going to Eastland Mall. They do have all the good shoe stores, but thats it.I dont feel comfortable having my mom come here by herself to grab her grandkids shoes or presents. Honestly, tear it down! Not only is it an eye sore but alot of crime happens here and only a small percentage of stores are open.
There is not much left in this mall now. All of the anchor stores have closed. Most of the name brand stores are gone, but this has allowed for some small private shops to open which is nice. Not much left in the way of the food court left either. If youre looking for urban wear, shoes or hats however, they have you covered!
Not much left at Eastland Mall these days. The anchor stores are gone as well as Bath and Body Works and Victorias Secret. There are more empty storefronts than open businesses now. Foot Locker and Kids Foot Locker are still there... For now. There was a few things open in the food court. There is an overall depressing feeling when you walk through here. I remember when I was a teenager and this place was in its prime. Eastland was the place to go shopping and hang out. Now sadly it just seems to be barely holding on.
Its really trashy. Very rundown. Actual trash all over, including an old nasty mattress in the middle of the parking lot. Its been this way for years now and only gets worse. They seem to have given up any idea of making it better
Steak was perfect... Great service.
Designer Kitchen is located near the Hamilton Rd entrance of the mall. Very nice service and the pineapple bourbon chicken bowl was delicious!!
Complete ghost town, stores open later then they use to even though the mall opens so early. The moral of the stores are at an all time low and its going to further kill whats left of Eastland Mall. I will serious businesses would come back to the mall. Businesses that opened when the mal opened, heated customers like they wanted to sell something or even businesses that cared about their workers as well as their employees.
Inside the food court there are two restaurants that are amazing. Evelyns Table this restaurant servers quality Southern food & Bakers Table this restaurant serves smoothies, delicious cookies, muffins also have beverages & pies. We had exceptional customer service. When we got home my 3 year son was asking for more cookies. I highly recommend these two restaurants at Eastland mall.
Ghost town. No variety of businesses or food the court.
This place has gone down hill. Its sad this is the oldest mall in Columbus, and really screwed the pooch with the anchor store Macys buying Kaufman. They were never able to recover, and now the mall is hanging by a thread with urban clothing, jewelry, and shoe stores. If they bulldoze the anchors, add store variety, and hire security the mall could see a resurgence
Most of the stores are closing Bath & Body Works are no longer there Victorias Secret is no longer there. But one of my favorites the oil bar is still there this is probably the only reason why I still go there for my oils once that closes I will no longer be going there. The food court there is terrible each time Ive eaten there Ive gotten food poisoning. But overall the mall itself is very clean and neat the people that work there are pretty friendly its a nice place for young teenagers to hang out its drama-free.
I went the Eastland Mall last weekend I didnt even know half the other stores are still open if you do go check out the gentleman in the middle aisle selling cologne and perfume great price awesome selection and hes very nice finish line for kids thank you
Terrible. Faulty. Building literally falling apart.
A formerly busy shopping mall which has very few stores left. However if you are looking for more than one shoe store, a massage spa and a still in operation food court, then this place might be for you. The comfort food restaurant on the corner of the food court was the only good one there, the Mac and cheese was on point.
Seem like its closing down looks deserted
Grew up in Pickerington and went to Eastland Mall several times a week from 1985 to 95. Drove by out of curiosity first time in 25 years... incredibly depressing. Building is falling apart, nothing is maintained, so sad. Sitting at stop light to leave the parking lot and a guy walks up and starts pissing on the Eastland sign missing the E 10 ft from me in my car... says it all. Things like this is typical for the area, why the mall is dead and will never return. The aera is preventing customers to come spend their money. All of Hamilton Rd south of Gahanna needs to be burned to the ground and started over again.
I go to this mall for one reason and one reason only, other than that it sucks lol.
ALL THE SHOE STORES WERE OUT OF SLIDES I COULD NOT BELEVE THIS ! EASTLAND MALL SUCKS BIG TIME ! (NO SLIDES SHOES WOW POW EASTLAND MALL YOU SUCK BIG TIME) A WASTE OF TIME ! AND ⛽ GAS ⛽😒 !
The design inside is actually great; very unique for a mall. It must have been awesome when it was full of shops, but now I go there and fantasize about defending it from zombies and bikers. If youve never been, walk around before its permanently shuttered. I hate to see it go, but its over.
My favorite mall to shop at!! I love the capability of being to shop without the large crowds on a regular basis. However, I understand that this is why they are slowly fading away. Revenue definitely matters. I truly hate to see it go!UPDATE: I can see someone new is working extremely hard behind the scenes to bring this beautiful mall back to life!! I’m extremely excited to see what happens!! I definitely have faith that it can be brought back to life! I posted Sue’s Massage prices fir you guys. It’s the butt cheek massage for me. The best hands on the city as far as I’m concerned! I have to gather myself after every massage because they have me feeling like jello after every session. Thank you Sue’s Massage! Cudos to you for hanging on through it all as well. I’ll be back again and again! To the man and team working behind the scenes I see you all the way down to the gentleman refreshing the parking space lines outside. Thank you so much for giving my favorite mall a second chance!!Separate Update on Sue’s Relax Station in this Mall: Just go guys. They will put majority of your life back together through their massage techniques!! Head to toe just go and support. I have no complaints about this place. My only fear is passing gas during my massage because it’s that relaxing. Other than that the entire experience is amazing. You really do have to gather yourself and remember where you are once the massage is over. Across from The Oil Bar just go. Whoever that is in the middle of the mall with the loud music please turn it down so we can enjoy our massages in peace- respectfully or play some slow jams Lol Thank you.
I came in here for the first time in almost a year I ... Me and my son were craving Auntie Annes and I didnt feel like driving all the way to Easton. To my surprise it was closed down 😢 We walked around just to see what was open. There wasnt much to see. Half the stores are empty and closed. Victorias Secret and Bath & Body works are gone! I cant see myself ever coming back into this mall honestly. How could they close Auntie Annes? What is a mall without pretzels? lol. I read some of the other reviews..And I agree with what someone else said. They should revamp the mall and have all local shops and independently owned businesses. They need to do something before Eastland closes down for good.
I don’t know what the owners is doing to this place but I wish they stop. This mall is going downhill and it have been for years now. The owners don’t care about this place. It’s scary to walk in and it’s so many empty storefronts omg. But the stores that are here is nice. If you need a going out outfit or nice tennis shoes or some soul food then by all means go to this place.
The mall is not like it was back in 2000 major stores gone JCPennys,Macys,Sears how did the down fall happen. Where them jobs go closed stores people are growing need work to pay rent put food on table and buy clothing everyday things like wealthy americans that used people to get a head.Now they turn their back and act like they was never there.They have rude adults come in trashing the place as if because of the low income area they treat the area like trash.I was told that day visiting the eastland mall they had Military personnel Visiting trashing Military different now no honor .
Its still relevant but barely. I remember going as a kid with all the stores open, a store that sold fresh made cookies (dont recall the name but yall know if youre old enough) and it was such a nice local mall. It still has some staple stores but is pretty desolate and the food court is even uninteresting. I do hope they keep up on it and not let it fade off.
Why is this still open, at All?🧐🤔💯..Asking For Myself!!
I love it at Eastland. I have tried the make-up shop, it was great but not today. The restaurant was good and they pretty cheap and affordable clothes. Rainbow got the best. I love buying at rainbows. Me giving my bae a treat in the electric massage chair..love it. Its growing, new shops Everytime.
This mall used to be a great place to shop but the surrounding area is crumbling. People call Eastland the Hood Mall. Most stores are closing which is not a good look. They need to focus on the shopping experience, safety and keeping the mall clean. Maybe one day this mall can flourish again.
Close this place down already it’s terrible
Dont know if theyre closing or staying open because theyve closed JC Pennys, Macys, Sears, Bath and Body works, and Victoria Secret. BUT they continue to open new stores. Strange right? Anyways, its never too busy and has like 8 shoe stores.
There is no longer a Panda Express in this mall, as far as I can tell. The food court is only half open, not very many options. I cant wait to see this space revitalized.
In the 80s and 90s this mall was one of the coolest places to go. These days the mall has really fallen off. No WiFi no anchor stores, and empty stalls all over. There used to be a cool arcade there but even they had to leave. All thats left now are a few hold out stores and a half dead food court. This mall would be better as a Dan Bell Dead Mall series video than it is to actually visit. The cops even use the old abandoned Macys as a weapons training area, so no chance of that ever being able to be a business again. Overall steer clear of this place. Theres not much worth doing in there that cant be done at any of the other malls in town.
They had a carnival up there with lots of rides for the kids fun games food everything its just beautiful took my daughter and granddaughter got them up thing on a wrist a ride to your rights all night you got there about 4 p.m. and stayed almost to midnight so great occasion
Eastland Mall is so hard for me to go to. I remember when it was bustling. All the anchor stores are gone now. I guess that is what is happening to malls all over. Eastland is still trying to make it. I go to the Oil Bar for oils. Hope for the best. It is the only original mall left in Columbus.
A blast from the past -- the place has definitely seen better days, but the staff in the few existing stores are very helpful and friendly. Thank you for hanging on -- we know it is a very tough market, but you mean so much to the Hamilton Road community.
I think the mall is starting to come back to life. However it smells like something died in there. Please get it together, its honestly a big turn off, and turn people away.
This place has went downhill. The last couple times I was here there was lots of fights. Some of the fighting turned into gun shots. They do have a few shoe stores, but dont waste your time here. Go to Tuttle or some other mall. You will be thankful. If you so happen to go here then be careful.
Dunno how this mall is still operating, over half of it is decrepit, weeds plants growing up through the sidewalks, etc. They must know something no one else does. Kinda a sad sight to see a huge mall that had some renovations not too long ago it looks like dying like that.
They took all out of food places out of there so its not much to go for anymore need more stores
Eastland Mall has become more like a ghost town. There are hardly any stores open and very few people shopping. I went in, walked around, and left. I dont plan to return. Unless you have confirmed and know specifically that an item you are looking for is there, just browsing would be a lost cause. I guarantee you will be disappointed.
Has lost all the big named stores, but for cloths at a good price this is the place to go. Took girls to get homecoming dresses...... 1 spent $15 and 2 spent $10 and they were very nice. Hopefully they will be able to get some big named retailers back.
Horrible management killed this once booming mall. The food court is full of knockoff restaurants.For the most part the mall is clean and is a decent place to buy shoes. But unless your in the market for shoes and dont want to go out to another shopping center, dont bother with this mall.
Went to Kids Foot Locker buy my daughter school shoes and never heard such racial slurs made at my family by the employees will never go back there again went in the Foot Locker next door and got absolutely no customer service I wont go back there either just turned around and walked out so I give you no stars and no business
They are definitely trying to stay alive
Theyre trying. Bless their heart.This mall has clearly seen better days but the mall itself is pretty nice for what it is and is staffed by people who care.
Its beautiful and clean!!! The mall is empty which is sad but if people start frequenting more often Im SURE it could pick back up. All of the shoe store are still there. Champs, Kids Footlocker, Footlocker, Journeys, Finish line and Footaction. Claires and that one jewelry store where everything cost a dollar. Like 8-12 jewelry stores. Excited about that one! Of course Lids. Oil Bar!!!!! Rainbows, Kids 4 Less, Remos, like 3 other mens clothing stores the one store for women that sell extremely risqué fashions (YAAAAASSSSSS), JimmyJaz, Premier 7, alteration shops and the food court is still jumping!!!! The mall is beautiful and so many people still are running their businesses out of there! Even the massage chairs are still there lol. My favorite plus the masseuse is still in there. Custom made shirts and buy already limited clothing. You should visit. Youd be surprised.
I love this place you can get everything here and the customer service is amazing
Poor old Eastland mall. What was once a nice place to shop, has certainly turned into a desert storm. Hardly any stores left here. The stores that are left sell high priced merchandise. This is a great place to run tack and field or teach someone how to drive!!
The best place for looking for tennis shoes and apparel
Eastland Mall was true destination shopping for my family when I was a kid in the 1970s. We would drive up from Chillicothe and spend the whole day shopping at all of the stores. I remember feeling very sophisticated eating a ham and cheese crepe for lunch at the restaurant on the second floor of Lazarus at the table that overlooked the two-story water fountain.All of that magic is long gone, as well as most of the stores. Eastland Mall is still, however, making a go of it. Although its a shell of its former self, it is clean, well-maintained, and the few stores that are there are worth going to. It now has a much more local feel, with shops catering to the community.
There is nothing there but sport shops really. Everything is more geared to smaller ladys. Stopped going there years ago. Granddaughter wanted to buy a pair of shoes, only reason I went there.Sad, seeing it fail like Westland did.
I went into the store to purchase me a hat with my name put on it from the lids inside the mall and the man there was so friendly and so helpful I would definitely recommend going to that store because they have great customer service
This mall has been in a steep decline for a long time now and it has now reached a point where it really isnt worth your time to go there unless you have no choice. In many ways, this location is an exact metaphor for everything that has gone wrong with the East side of Columbus. The staff in the stores are rude, service is nonexistent, and on weekend nights the place basically turns into a hangout for thugs who are looking to start fights and cause trouble. There have been multiple shootings here in the last few years, there is nonstop drug trafficking taking place in the parking lot and I have a long list of friends who have been mugged or had their cars broken into while here. Like I said, unless you have no choice avoid this location.
Theres a jewelry shop that you have to be careful of, they do not have quality stuffs. There return police is isolated, theyll only put it on your face when youre returning there fake product. I bought an item from them around mid day, I ended up having a better quality in the evening, they refuse to refund my money. Really! BIG DCAMMERS!
The mall is empty, very few stores, needs to be updated, its also dirty and outdated. Very few stores have what you are looking for.The security comes into question because you dont see much of them.,
This place is such a disgrace its almost laughable. Pathetic. I wish they would just demolish this mall but no...this place is hanging on by its last breath. Went there with my husband and baby so she could see santa and oh my gosh...j-just no. Never again. What kind of low quality santa was that? Also hardly any stores to go to, choices for stores are so limited. Never going back.
Most everything is closed all the time little to no stores looks as if its going out of buisness all the time
This mall has the best shoe stores and food. for years i wondered why it was failing, why the anchor stores were leaving.... THEFT! THEFT! THEFT! the boosters was pretty busy over the years and now whats left for paying folks to shop for?? those stores were forced to leave because people stealing... stores cant continue to pay mall leases when the theft is higher than revenue. im just saying... every action has a re action now we driving all the way to Easton smh!
Its a dead mall for sure. 80% of the shops are closed, the best part was getting a $2 Starbucks drink from the vending machine when they retail for $3+ lol.
Unless you know what you are looking for dont waste your time here. Nothing but very unprofessional shoe stores here.
Eastland Mall is the last of the Big 3 malls in Columbus, Ohio that were built mid-century. Westland and Northland Malls are closed now. With a heavy heart, I have to admit this one doesnt have long before it suffers the same demise.Eastland held a special place in my heart. Every Christmas, we went downstairs in Lazarus to look at the Trim A Tree display when I was a kid & purchased an ornament before heading upstairs to eat at the fancy cafe, and I passed that tradition on to my son. The big fat decked out trees in the Lazarus basement were the most beautiful trees Id ever seen.I had a job downtown when I was 17, and instead of going to the City Center Mall, I decided to save money and purchase my prom dress in Mariannes inside Eastland. That dress still hangs in my old closet in my mothers house.All the books I ever bought were from that bookstore near Sears. All my eye appointments were at Sears optical. All my pictures as a kid that werent Olan Mills pictures were taken inside one of the flagship stores inside that mall. My first date was at the movie theater inside that mall.Now, all of that is gone. Nothing is there except a carcass of days gone by, with a few local merchants, sneaker spots and a food court inside.Im sorry this review is so much longer than it should be. I just wish, if the owners are reading, that theyd consider bringing in a flagship store or two, repaving the lot, and renewing the old charm I remember. Even adding a Walmart would be better than whats there now.
I used to work for the former management company who keeps getting the blame for Eastland’s current demise. This is all the new “management company” has to say, to keep the blame off of themselves. The ownership is an out of country slum lord. He does this with all his properties. (See Bel-Aire in Detroit MI.). The city and tenants are all suing him and his accountant. Previous management tried extremely hard to make the property nice, but they refused to pay for anything! And I mean anything! Look at the current property as its sitting with the new “management company”. Weeds and grass is almost as tall as the mall itself and the roof leaks everywhere, and some of it is falling down. Strong odors throughout the mall and the current staff sometimes goes weeks and months without getting paid, and they have absolutely no clue what they doing. If anyone thinks for one second this “management company”, and ownership cares about the mall and them, they are sorely mistaken! He only cares about his rental income. Look at the Columbus clerk of courts site, and see all the multiple leins currently on the property (“Eastland Mall Holdings, LLC) from them not paying what they owe people. I’d steer clear of this property! Also no new tenants have been signed since previous management left. Only closing tenants. So sad.
It used to be nice. But they started closing down stores less people shopped there. Or maybe because less people shopped there stores began to close due to slow Macys is gone and so is JcPenny I think. Sears is next. Everyone goes to Easton Town Center now. Itll probably be like Eastland in 5 years.
Been going for years its pretty dead now but the food court is still really good.I will continue to go for as long as the mall exists :-)
This place is horrible!! I advise any repair or HVAC companies to stay away. They owe a lot of people money for work they have done. They will give you the run around on who are to talk to about getting your money. The business is going under and they are using people and dont care. And the customer service is even worse!!!! How are you a business and have people come perform work and then not pay them!
Love all the new local businesses in the mall! Just wish theyd redo the parking lot;
I only go here to get out of the house; the only stores I go to are Spencers, body Jewel, and bath and body works. Most of the stores are closed down and pretty soon the mall will too. Too much drama happens over there and a lot of store owners are scared of getting hurt 😟😟
A couple of shoe stores and a really good soul food restaurant. This mall has changed a lot, I just returned after serving Im the military. Hopefully this mall finds a way to turn things around, I would be a shame if it was ever closed.
In our busy schedule we allowed time for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory while watching the relaxing view of the varied fish in the HUGE glass wall of the Aquarium directly opposite the restaurant. Managed to drag the family out without spending too much in the mall on what is basically available in shopping centres world wide.
My Only Problem Is That All The Clothing Stores Only Have Skinny Jeans For Men 😒 Aside Of That I Love Going To This Mall When Im In Town!
I went to the food court for lunch today
I didnt realize that there were still stores in Eastland, the outside looks terrible but inside is nice, please support the vendors
It is really sad that my childhood mall has been reduced to this. The department stores are all closed and there are only a few people that walk through this mall now. It might as well be closed. Well, I guess all there is, is Polaris or Tuttle Crossing as far as traditional malls go.
They have a great discounted kids store in this mall called Kids for Less next to Rainbow in there which I know their discounted clothing shops but for someone on a budget these are great I go there at least once a month to see what they have and of course I purchase a lot especially for the children
Foot action is nice store for clothing apparel tennis shoes and clothing accessories. Eastland Mall as a whole need to be renovated the city should try to help save it the area needs this Mall.
Im going to disagree with posters who say this is a dead mall.It isnt dead, but it isnt the same kind of mall that it was when I was a kid in the 1980s and 1990s. Back then, it was a traditional mall with anchor stores Lazarus, Sears, and JC Penny and there was a sizable Woolworth as a quasi anchor store that closed in 1997. This was the place where you could buy anything you wanted, have dinner, and see a movie without leaving the mall.Malls are closing everywhere due to online shopping. Northland and Westland are no more. There are still a few national stores at Eastland like Spencer Gifts and Foot Locker, but all of the anchor stores are gone and not likely to return. Instead, the mall now appears to have many small businesses that are locally owned. The owners are able to do this due to low rents and have their hopes and dreams with these businesses. Some of these owners are first generation immigrants who bring their skills and talents from their homelands. T and M perfumes is the only place I like to buy cologne because the owner is so knowledgeable and personable and his selection is better than Sax and Nordstrom....so are his prices. Spencer gifts is just a fun store and has been at that mall ever since I remember. The Tropico Caribbean Grill in the food court is the only Dominican restaurant in the city...and I will say its the best food of any food court I have ever eaten! There are plenty of other businesses that I have no interest in, but others do and were shopping there.Will Eastland survive? I doubt that it will be a traditional mall again, but it may became a model as a mall for small independently owned businesses.I give two stars for the places I like here...Tropico Caribbean Grill, T and M perfumes, and the long time Spencer Gifts. I give an additional star because the mall is still clean and well maintained, including the restrooms. The final star is that small business owners are here and I hope that the mall becomes a destination place for them.
I was so surprised to see how many stores were still inside the mall its alive and Im looking forward to doing some shopping in EASTLAND MALL
Need more variety in regards to establishments. You can find food and shoes that’s about it, and honestly it’s kind of odd without Macy’s.
Theres not much left in this mall unfortunately. Due to the type of area it is, theyve taken out almost all the Big chain stores . Few jewelry stores, shoe places, massage and eyebrow stops, kids areas. Theres a Claires & a Spencers & a Body Jewerly place too. GNC is still there I believe. Again, most of the mall is closed or bare though. Dont waste ur time unless you absolutely have to go into this mall.
I have been coming here for years to come to the oil bar to get my smelly goods! Body oils! My only complaint is that the rewards program is STILL the same when I first discovered this store at Tuttle mall in 2011!!!!!!!! come on guys! Other than that still a loyal customer!A more recently body jewel! Jasmine is amazing love her! Shes one of the managers! Have questions ask for Franklin! He is knowledgeable and Billy Gruff! The Dm! Phenomenal Customer Service and Beautiful Jewelry!
Theres not much to see in there any more. But its still enjoyable to a certain extent.
All of the major players have pulled out of this mall which has left any decent stores to struggle and a influx of bargain stores to fill occupancy voids. Might as well visit while its still here because the expectation that it will be here in the next five years is pretty low.
Im really hoping this mall can make a comeback. It has potential. Right now it still has a few stores Ill go check out time to time. Good place to get some shoes.
It was very nice what that school did for the kids. Also the staff was outside greeting the parents and the children.
With no anchor stores left, there really isnt much holding the place together. Several shoe and t-shirt shops. Along with some fad type dress shops. Add in a couple of jewelry stores, a perfume hut, and thats about all there is. You dont have to worry about dodging people, if youre trying to get your cardio in! LOL
Out of all the malls I love Eastland because they always have the style that I have been wearing for most of my life and honestly a lot about Eastland has changed some for the better some not so better but yes I love the mall
They should honestly just rebuild the place and make it smaller and charge less for spaces because I dont know what the problem is but the mall is like, dead! About 6 shoes stores the food court and the rest is female boutiques.
Obviously not as nice as Easton, Tuttle Crossing, or Polaris mall, but still has some nice stores to offer. Sadly though, if the amount of traffic that comes in here stays the same, it might turn into westland eventually. Then again, you never have to worry about the place being busy!
I gave it two stars because while its unsettling to visit a derelict and abandoned mall in the middle of a warzone, it would be a good place to shoot a scary movie.
It sure was a disappointment to see so many stores closed. Have been around this place since the 60s grew up near here wow it sure has changed so sorry to see it this way
A Former shell of what it once was. Made me very sad to see. This pic pretty much says it all!
I recently read a post asking if Eastland was a dead mall. Let me clarify, it is beyond dead. It is as if the undead took over Tijuana. The only thing that could bring it lower would be a pager kiosk.Please! Save yourself! Stay away.
A lot of small private business owners a good different variety of shops enjoyed it
There are hardly any stores in here anymore. There are a couple of good shoe stores. For s mall, this place is a joke. There is an elementary school on the inside random robberies and shootings.
I had fun alot of places r closed but what they do have opened is worth the trip
Eastland has seen better days but there are deals to be found inside. One highlight us the Akiba Arcade, which sells anime products along with having a great pay by the hour arcade. You can also find lots of designer clothes in the various shops throughout the mall.
Went to the perfume shop havent been there for about 2 yrs or so and the guy remembered me was impressed has always been very helpful and just overall very friendly and nice
Got my ears pierced at Claires about 3 weeks ago and they were great. The lady was friendly! But I miss all the big stores you had. Its a pain driving to tuttle just to go to jc pennys it was easier to come here but oh well. Not much here anymore, back in the late 2000s early 2010s this place was booming i used to come here all the time but there is like no stores left that are good except kay jewelers and Claires.
Its great to see that the mall is still thriving I was even pleasantly surprised to see that the food court is still operating nice and clean and I enjoy the shopping mall music
I love this mall but its slowly dying all the major stores like sears, jc penny,....are all gone now. I dont know how long the mall wil stay open for, it has so much potential.
Most stores and ALL anchor stores are permanently closed Mall is in decline and probably wont be around much longer.
My hair stylists work in eastland mall. Queens .....my stylists is the best with all kinds of hair
This establishment is facing the same fat as most US brick and mortar retailers. Most of the jewelry stores are not selling real gold. That which is real, is low quality with high quality price. Most major retailers have already packed up and closed.
All of the good stores have left except a couple. But now there really isnt any stores worth going to unless you need shoes or go to Victoria secret or bath and body but even then there are better ones elsewhere
This mall seems to be on its last leg. It once was a great place to shop. Now all the major stores are closing. Still a few nice places in there.
It saddens me to say this, but avoid going there! This mall is so run down and empty it is a waste of electricity to power the lights on. I used to go here and shop back some 40 plus years ago when this place was in its glory and glamor but the area has become poverty stricken.
Still a good place to shop. Eastland Mall may not be what it used to be but it is what it is and its still a nice place go shopping.The Things Remembered store is the main reason I enjoy shoppng at the Eastland mall.However there are several clothing, jewelry and shoe stores that have a variety of offerings for the under 40 crowd.The east end of the mall has a surprisingly special offering for your wedding, party or meeting needs with a beautiful wedding dress, tux with alterations store, photography studio store and even a venue area that you can rent out to hold your wedding, meeting or small reception with food options.The Clares and Spencers gift stores are fun options as well as the Oil Bar where you can create your own soaps, aroma therapy scents and more. The center of the mall has a nice little play area with coin operated rides for the kiddies and of course, the food court is a must to complete your mall experience. Athough there are only a handful of restaurants, there is still quite a variety of yummy menu items and it boasts a very large dining area with WIFI. In a nutshell, Eastland Mall is basically a nice indoor strip-mall.
While there arnt many stores, the building is well kept, and it feels safe with all the staff. Not gonna lie though I only go there for the arcade which is top notch.
This used to be a nice mall back in the 90s. My friends and I practically lived in this mall when I was in school. Now the mall is pretty much empty and the neighborhood has gone to hell. I wouldnt be surprised to see this mall close one of these days just like northland and Westland malls in Columbus have.
Made a special trip for Keatons home of 50 sauces for their fried chicken wings. Highly recommend that you give them a try. Their sweet potatoes are very good to.
Surprisingly good. I was amazed at all the businesses. Everyone was kind and considerate.
Tough to shop here without being looked at like a criminal. I know security is just doing their job, but come on! The hood rats and theives have ruined the shopping experience for hard working, honest Americans.
Unfortunately this place is dying. There are many stores already out of business. Soon it will become a ghost town
Havent been in years but couldnt find my 16 year old son shoes in Lancaster for school so we headed to Eastland. So much more selection
Fun establishment!! Lots to see !! Even more to do!! I have a ball every time I go 🤪
The mall is doing better than it was a few years ago, even though there are no anchor stores. And Starbase Columbus is in there too, having relocated from Westerville.

The Event Center was Very Nice Ill have to plan an Event there for sure!
So neat. Lots of choices for shopping. Crowded and compact. But overall clean, organized and friendly spot. The food was good too. Different choices for everyone.
Love Eastland, however the mall is a becoming a ghost town, all the major stores Macys, JCP are gone it just another mall which doors will be closing with in a year or less..
This mall has seen better days...the vast majority of it is vacant. But they do have a decent sized Sears still kicking.
This place is a joke. Its an abandoned warehouse..Dont even try to stop at this place. No stores..just few cheap ones food is horrible.
I used to love this place. Sadly, Eastland mall is on hospice. Visited on a Thursday at 630pm and besides the workers there were less than 30 customers in the entire mall.
Theres not many stores in this mall. However they have a place called The Oil Bar that I absolutely love.
Dont dismiss just yet! Love the food court and the key place near Sears is now located just out the food court door...and the best game room in town.
Covid Awareness observed. Pleasent people. Descent prices. Variety of MERCHANDISE to choose from.
Sad depressed Mall dont know how theyre staying open but I support them because thats my childhood Mall
I agree with bobThugs, gangbanger, hood rats, etc.No diversity, everything is closing down, nothing new. This whole area is slowly decaying. I heard it used to bee good.By hey, at least things are cheap.
A lot of stores are closed. Nice small shops ha e taken over Eastland mall, its like specialty shopping. I will come here more!
Fairly empty. No selection of stores. The food court is small. Not worth visiting. This mall is in its agonizing death.
Stop in to the Eastland mall before the last 12 stores close. This place is a tragedy and it is highly unfortunate that its lost ALL their anchor stores, not to mention other franchise places closing down in there as well.
Went to see what stores were in the mall

2021-11-19Just dont even bother. Not entirely sure how this building is even still up / existing but my goodness, let the poor building out of its misery. If I could give it less than one star, I promise you I would. Its a shame because this mall was always crowded growing up, I even worked in this mall... so darn sad.

2022-02-14They are so dope! I love they make you feel like family and their fur babies are so cute! My experience was quick, easy and straightforward. He recommended which ones would fit my face and I went with it and 3 days later I was picking them up. Thank you! I’ll be back 💪🏾💯

2021-09-25Mall is so bare but a couple stores are in there my teenagers liked. Customer service suck throughout the building. Food court was closed but I didn’t care. Get in and get out 😂

2022-06-22Definitely got a dead mall vibe to it. Sad because you can tell it used to be great. That said, underground by journeys is a fantastic shoe store, and I hope they can survive when the city bulldozes this place.

2022-03-29Still a handful of shops left. Please stop in and support the mall, bums me to see them go!

2022-06-10Only visit to order from Design Chef or Evelyns Table. Nothing else there interests me. The Mall, if you can call it that is a dead Mall. Whomever owns it has done a lousey job over the years keeping it up, attracting customers to it, and keeping its employees safe. What a waist. So much money could still be made there. Stores do not stay there long. I wish theyd let me run it, I could tuen it into a goldmine.

2022-05-31Unfortunately Eastland doesnt look like they have a lot of foot traffic. We went to footlocker because they had some sneakers that my grandson wanted for his birthday. The two sales personnel were friendly and helpful.
Review №8
2022-06-15Zero start if I could. How sad. This poor mall was forced to compete with its counterpart mall Easton, then, the ravages of the pandemic shutdowns. Looks like Eastland going belly up similar to the ugly Continent. More eyesore massive parking lots full of weeds and trash, abandoned buildings that sit, like the Continent, unused, decaying. Sad city.

2022-01-12So much fun. Yes they are open! There are a few small unique shops that I can across, that were fun and not expensive to shop in, I will be back... I also found some one of a kind earrings. All my friends adore them.

2022-01-14People and the local media give this place a bad rep and call it dead. It’s actually bouncing back and has a lot of nice local businesses. Everyone I talked to who works there is nice and friendly and the mall has about 50-60% occupancy. Definitely better than when i visited in 2018. It’s clean and the stores are very affordable which suits the demographic of Southeastern Columbus. This mall does a great job of sticking with its customer base and I can see it growing more or at least staying in the decent state that its in.
