McKinley Mall has a mix of experiences for visitors. While it once thrived, it now feels quite empty and deserted, with many stores closed or lacking customers. However, there are still a few bright spots, such as Catering by Marjorie in the food court and What’s In Your Attic, a consignment store filled with pop culture collectibles. The mall has potential and is actively inviting new small businesses to lease space at low fees. Unfortunately, locals may not be fully aware of these opportunities, and visitors have noted that not all shops open at the same time, leading to some disappointment. Despite its challenges, McKinley Mall holds a special place for some as a nostalgic part of their childhood.

Usually a pretty empty mall in the interior concourse most days, but that makes it a nice place to go for a walk. I like the architecture here. All the larger stores have exterior entrances, which is probably why it’s not busy inside.

Good mall. Pretty dead, but it is revamping/coming alive. If you are ever in the Hamburg/Blasdell location, check this mall out. If you don't want shopping, still a good mall walk.
