Paradise Valley Mall - Redevelopment Underway

Stopped at Costco to pick up a few last minute holiday items. The store was crazy busy with pumpkin pies being snatched up as soon as they were placed in the cooler as well as directly off the pallets. Despite the crowd, self-check out was a breeze.

This place is old and needs updating. The store occupancy is low and the stores that are there aren't anything great. On the other hand it serves a purpose - the cheap movie theater is nice if you want to see many movies without spending too much. We mainly go for the children's play area - it gets us through the hot summers

Well laid out mall and convenient access to all stores. But, JC Penney's and Macy's were almost empty, even on a Sunday. Forget Costco unless you need an industrial size jar of mayonnaise. It's congested and parking near the store is real hassle.
