Sunvalley Shopping Center - Concord, California

Janet Rose

Really good mall with all the staple stores plus a bunch more. For kids there is an arcade and an indoor playground (extra money). The food court has a good amount of options, my favorite are the poke bowls.

I was surprise then last time because now almost all store was busy. They already started Santa Claus picture. Most of the store was very busy. They have now new stores opens in the shopping center . The store was full with thanksgiving and Christmas sales. Last time my visit most of the store was vacant. They have different kind stores in the shopping center. Definitely I recommend visit this shopping center. It was fun to visit the shopping center. Shopping center is very clean. Definitely they take care very good. Bathroom was very clean.

Bad Santas Review of Sun Valley Mall**

Welcome to the Sun Valley Mall: a sprawling monument to consumerism that’s as festive as it is soul-sucking. You’d think a mall dressed up in twinkling lights and garish decorations would bring holiday cheer, but let me tell you, it feels more like the set of a horror flick where the protagonist realizes they’ve made a terrible mistake. Spoiler alert: I’m the protagonist, and I’m regretting every second spent here.

The moment I stepped inside, I was hit with a cacophony of screeching children, manic shoppers, and god-awful holiday music. It’s like someone decided to take a bunch of rabid squirrels, toss them into an overcrowded shopping complex, and call it a festive gathering. The kids are running rampant, like they’re on some kind of sugar-fueled mission from Santa, darting between stores while clueless parents scroll through their phones as if the world isn’t collapsing around them. Nice parenting, folks. Who needs a leash when you’ve got total oblivion, right?

Let’s be real: the decor is as over-the-top as a drunk elf on Christmas Eve. There are creeping animatronic Santas that look like they’re about to go rogue, and all I can think is, “If I was one of those things, I’d be begging for a quick end too.” Retailers dressed up their stores with fake snow and gaudy ornaments, thinking they’d cover up the relentless hum of despair washing over this place. Spoiler: it doesn’t work.

Then, there are the shoppers. Oh, the shoppers. The frantic, last-minute gift grabbers who act as if grabbing that last scented candle is some sort of Olympic event. Watching them elbow each other in the face over discounted towels is a mix of tragic and hilarious, but mostly tragic. And don’t even get me started on how every store seems to be filled with the same generic junk, as if the holiday spirit has been funneled through a blender and spat back out into a clearance bin.

I made the mistake of trying to navigate through this madness in search of a decent drink—anything to dull the sensory overload. I finally found the food court and, let me tell you, what a feast of regret! The greasy fast food, served with a side of regret, was somehow both comforting and disgusting. I could practically feel my arteries hardening at the sight of it all. But hey, drink and forget, right?

By the end of my expedition in this mall of horrors, my jaded heart ached for escape. I left feeling less like a holiday hero and more like a sardine tossed into a can of chaos. If you’re in the mood for an existential crisis wrapped in holiday cheer, the Sun Valley Mall is your perfect destination. For me? I’ll take my chances sipping whiskey alone in a dark corner, far away from the glitter and madness.

So here’s the deal: if you’re looking for the holiday spirit, do yourself a favor and visit the Sun Valley Mall. There’s a fine line between holiday cheer and sheer madness, and this place isn't that bad. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some serious drinking to do. Happy holidays, or whatever.

I hate this mall because the surf city place scammed me with my drink and there should be no excuses because I told them I needed a taro milk tea and they gave me a strawberry one on purpose and cuz they should've given me my reciept and because they embarrassed me and started yelling at me the two girls were very ignorant and the man seemed like he didn't have ears what type of people are you hiring? FIRE THEM and also I hate almost everything here the macys store had bathrooms that have a lock and people steal here

Love the mall because it's close to home, and can find almost any need.

I went to safeway tonight. Did some shopping. On my way out, I parked near the freeway onramp for about 5 minutes. I have a cactus garden, and there is a rare Nopal cactus across the street. As soon as I got out of my car, I saw a couple of tweakers trying to climb the fence to get into the construction materials. There was no security in sight. I told the tweakers to move along. There was no reason to be breaking and entering. The one lady went berzerk and came at me. I sounded my car alarm and she ran away. I went across the street to take a few cuttings of that beautiful cactus for my garden. When I got back to my car, the Sun Valley security guard was sitting on my trunk. Literally on my car. I said hello, I'm a customer. I was just grabbing a few cuttings of that beautiful cactus in the median. I'm leaving now. The boy started to scold me. I asked him if there was a no parking sign. He told me no, but I should obviously know. He said he was calling the cops. I told him I stopped for just a few minutes.... AND I ran the tweakers off when he was nowhere to be found. They were breaking and entering, and I made them get lost. He said he didn't care. He was calling the cops. I told him I'm a customer and I was only parked there for less than 5 minutes. He tried to block me in. Eventually he moved. As I was leaving to head home, he told me the cops are on the way. Anyway. I've been coming to this mall since I was a kid. It's really helter skelter these days. Let's all hope when it finally goes bankrupt and the city redevelops it... they make a park. As for the security guards... they work in a morgue and act like it. I hope they find a better lifestyle. NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS RELATED TO SERVICE ANIMALS
