"Lots of people in shopping mode while I was there. Adult, child, and dog friendly environment! Security is an A+. Very mellow for the time being. Benches dispersed throughout and very helpful to the handicapped or even just for in between shopping breaks. Plenty of stores to choose from. Cleaning and maintenance is great. Decor and plants are to my liking. The food court was not that special to my liking, but very well maintained."

"Growing up in the desert as far as I’m concerned, the mall is a former shell of itself. There is nothing interesting or fun about the small anymore. It really really sucks. The new owners need to get their crap together and either demolish it or do something to revitalize it to make it the way it used to be it should’ve been renamed Palm Desert town center, Going back to its original roots. Instead, it’s just a sense of rich owners I don’t care about anything but money!"

"In Palm Desert, this shopping center has a little over 100 Stores. However, 8 years ago it had 150 + stores & people were finding out a way to get in the building & lease a space.

Westfield changing its name, & COVID is what I personally think has affected the market for store owners at the mall in order to remain with a financial sustainability and for them to have profitability as well. People simply stopped going to the mall.

Many stores & companies survived but again how long have they been there? 24+ years, like Sears and JC Penny or Hollister for 10 years , despite them being multimillion dollar companies ..

How did Dog on a stick survive the pandemic & McDonald's right next to it didn't ? (Personally I would have rooted more for McDonald's yet again didn't graduate in an economics major either).

It all comes down to their rightful owner in the decision making of sustaining through tough times I can only think.

🛍️Food for thought .. while for many disappeared companies because of the inflation & the pandemic let alone why is it still empty two years later & in the making supposedly? 💡

I enjoy getting a shake at Cold Stone here & there after visiting the Local Shops that have survived multiple financial crisis waves throughout the span of 24 years when Westfield first acquired the property, perhaps inclusively before.

City Wok is another place I visit when here.

🌬️ A/C is fully functional under the current management team, it might look dead empty 87% of the times but it has clean floors & remodeled ceilings as well as properly maintained restrooms, common areas etc.

They have a children's play bin area, parking is substantially efficient there being plenty ⛹🏼‍♂️.

A couple arcades in the middle of the walkway to entertain yourself while you finish sipping on your shake 🥤or perhaps finish eating your pretzel from Cinnabon 🥨.

⭐⭐⭐
3 stars from my perspective, a lot of work left behind & plenty of space that could have been utilized in these 8+ years.

Boredom is the kind of mental state that will get you here in the first place.

Unless you actually think that purchasing your chonitos (underwear) 👙 at Victoria Secret personally makes a difference when you get even greater discounts online with better prices rather than walking into the store & willingly bend over 😉.

Just like going to Shoe Palace for the latest model of Nike Jordans when you can get a better deal online versus walking in the store & yet have the need to bend yourself over & hand off your wallet.. you get the picture 📸.

Safe shopping 🛍️😺."
