Columbia Mall has seen many changes over the years, with numerous store closures leaving it somewhat empty. Still, some stores remain, offering a good selection of clothing and popular brands. JCPenney continues to be a favorite, providing trendy and affordable clothes with helpful staff, especially during sales and discounts. Stores like Spencer's, Bath and Body Works, Scheels, Hot Topics, and Men’s Wearhouse are still open, offering a variety of products and services. The mall used to be much busier, with an arcade and many smaller stores, but now it feels more barren. Despite this, the remaining stores maintain a good mix of options, and the staff in some places provide quick, quality service. Overall, it’s a mall that still has some good shopping opportunities despite the emptier appearance.
Don’t let the Grand Cities Mall fool you, Columbia Mall is where it’s at!

A solid 5 out of 7 as it goes for liminal spaces. My mom told me that this mall was a bustling place when she went there 14 years ago. There's a Scheels and a JC Penny's but there really isn't anything else to really go in there for.
