Los Angeles Mall - Los Angeles, California

Jim K.

I wasn’t sure what to expect with the designated Los Angeles Mall sign. One thing to consider was the adjoining buildings of employees and visitors, giving a clue to the clientele. Next was seeing the homeless park, atop the plaza.
Thus the difficulty keeping what could be a vibrant, cheerful and comfortable mall experience for everyone!
There’s a few shops, services and eateries available. Areas with tables and chairs provide quick dining and meeting spots. Maintenance crews were visible keeping up the plaza. Cameras, security guards and police also provided public safety for those who wish to venture within.
The times I’ve been here, I’ve not seen many people, perhaps because because of the lack of shopping possible. Couldn’t there be more attractive tenants as the shopping centers on Figueroa Street? Wouldn’t large signs then help attract shoppers from the high traffic 101 Freeway, beyond the lunchtime crowd from surrounding buildings?
I guess the local parking expenses may also be a deterrent!
The lost business is apparent and the fact that the restrooms were closed gives a sense of a mall in decline!

It’s like being in a Time Machine going back to the 80s. They have Quiznos. Sabaros Pizza , a Sears shoe repair. And a City of Los Angeles gift store. Underground parking is pretty neat. Goes down like a corkscrew.

This mall is really beat up and outdated, also they don't have a lot of stores like before. Quiznos is still there and some other not so well known stores. When you walk in here, you'll feel like it's one of those abandon mall that's is slowly going out of business. Even walking the stairs to go down to the lower level will give you an uneasy vibe because when I was walking back up to the surface street level, there was a shirt hanging from the ceiling and there were water leaks. There also a lot of dark corners and places where I don't believe you'll feel safe during the daytime or nighttime. I only came here to eat at Quiznos because I got pick for Jury Duty and this place was across the street.

I'm honestly not sure this mall is a real place.
I was there around 5 or 6 on a Friday, and there were absolutely zero people, and no stores open. How does this happen? What is the real backstory behind this mall? I have no idea.

This is some of the most prime land in the city and it's used by nothing

It's not a bad area, just busy in a few spots.

Don’t go there. Nothing much even open. Is a magnet for homelessness for people that the city has failed.

This shopping center isn't just for retail therapy; it's also a fantastic place for groceries. The supermarket here offers an extensive range of fresh produce and grocery items. The quality and freshness of the products are always top-notch, and the prices are incredibly competitive. Shopping for groceries has never been this enjoyable, thanks to the convenience and value this center provides.

Maybe because of the Covid, the mall fills up with garbage and smells. I see so many homeless here. It is not a good place for shopping for me right now.
