Mid City Mall is a unique and eclectic shopping destination that offers a diverse range of amenities to the local community. The grocery store, Valu Market, is praised for its pleasant employees, helpful staff, and substantial offerings, despite its small size. The impending closure of the mall is seen as a significant loss, as it provides essential services and a sense of community for the surrounding neighborhood, particularly for the elderly residents. Across the street, the Big Mike's Hawaiian Shaved Ice hut is a popular hot weather treat, offering delicious and affordable flavors of soft, fluffy shaved ice. Customers appreciate the attentive service and the convenience of the small, yellow hut. The on-site movie theater is also well-regarded, with comfortable reclining seats and a clean, pleasant atmosphere, encouraging repeat visits. Additionally, the library branch within the mall is recognized as a valuable asset to the community. While Mid City Mall may not fit the traditional definition of a mall, it is described as a familiar, comfortable, and unique place that provides a complete shopping and entertainment experience. Customers appreciate the small-town feel, the opportunity to get to know the local businesses and their staff, and the overall sense of community that the mall fosters.
Valu market is always good to visit. Pleasant employees, helpful and available. Offerings are pretty substantial considering it's a small grocery. Closure of Mid-City Mall will be a great loss. They are including a grocery but I suspect a Public's. Elderly people in the neighborhood will not be able to afford the prices.... read full comment

They have a movie theater out back and a pay phone in the building.

Great little Mall. Plenty of parking, easy access to Bardstown Road and downtown.
