The Mall of Abilene is the only enclosed regional shopping center serving a 19-county region in West Central Texas. It is a nice little mall, though visitors note that stores sometimes close or move. The mall features several popular dining spots. Dante's Pizza is highly recommended for its large, filling pizza slices, excellent calzones, and tasty burgers. Heff's Burgers, across from the movie theater, is a fun spot with live bands, good customer service, and delicious juicy burgers. Books A Million is a favorite destination where people spend hours; it has a coffee shop, restrooms, and sells books, magazines, collector items, toys, and gifts. Reviews frequently highlight excellent and kind customer service across the mall, from individual stores to mall services, with staff noted as being super nice, courteous, and amazing. A common drawback mentioned is the mall hours, with early closings since Covid, including at 8pm on most nights and 6pm on Sundays, which requires planning an early visit.
