Emerald Square Mall is a tri-level, climate controlled shopping center in North Attleboro, MA. It is one of the last vestiges of the American Mall experience, described as cold and empty, making it a place to feel alone. It has a small but decent selection of stores, including anchor stores Macy's and JCPenney, and a food court, but no movie theater. The mall offers ample, easy, free parking, though some note a need for more space. It is easy to reach by public transportation but is car-centric with no visible bike racks. A major concern is that outside of JCPenney, no single area has completely functional escalators or elevators, which can pose a problem. The security staff has also received criticism.
