South County Center has seen better days, with many stores closed and prices rising. The top floor and a food store have shut down, reflecting a decline that many find disappointing. Despite this, the mall still offers some enjoyable experiences, like holiday shopping and a relaxing massage chair outside Macy's. Over the years, new stores have opened, adding some variety, and staff are available to assist shoppers. However, customer service can sometimes be lacking, and overall, shopping here feels less appealing compared to the past. Some visitors enjoy walking in the mall or shopping for gifts, but many feel the atmosphere has changed, and prices are too high. While it remains a place for certain activities, the decline in stores and service has made it less vibrant than before.
