Fayette Mall

Hey Y'all, it's your Woman about town, Tanya! Up next, is my review of Fayette Mall(Lexington, KY); but, 1st, a little backstory, for those unfamiliar, with this mall. Fayette Mall was the 3rd,yet, largest indoor shopping mall, in Lexington, KY. The other malls, Turfland Mall(long closed) was the city's 1st indoor shopping mall, located on Harrodsburg Road, in what is now, Home Depot and UK Healthcare. The 2nd Mall was Lexington Mall(long closed), located on Richmond Road, what is, now, Southland Christian Church, North Compass. Fayette Mall opened with Sears Department Store, as the Anchor Store, at the south end of the Mall and Shillito's as the Anchor Store, at the north end Stewart's Department Store kind of like the middle Anchor Store. Sears had, at the time a freestanding, full service, auto repair center. There have been countless renovations, with stores, coming and going, through the years; but, Fayette Mall has endured and evolved, with the times. Fayette Mall is considered the largest mall, in KY, for good reason. Dillard's is the new South Anchor. JC Penny holds the middle and Macy's is the North Anchor. There's an impressive Food Court and plenty of Kiosks offering a little something for everyone. One thing about Fayette Mall, there are plenty of restrooms spread out throughout the Mall. I love they have added Family restrooms, to the mix. The women's restrooms have baby changing stations that are built into the wall, a Major plus, IMHO! The wheelchair stalls are HUGE! There are plenty of whimsical strollers, for parents of small children. In the middle of the Mall, kind of where you're headed to the food court, we'll there is a hugs play area. Hint: it's a great area for parents to decompress, as well, for anyone who shops with small children, in tow🤗 . So, if you're in the mood for shopping or just walking around, Fayette Mall is the place to be. I miss the stores that are no longer there; but, I've embraced the new ones. There really are stores, for everyone, young or old. There are plenty of freestanding restaurants; albeit, connected to the outside of the Mall OR on various parcels of land, of the front parking lot, if you're not in the mood for eating in the Food Court. Oh, btw, there's free Fayette Mall wi-fi, in the Food Court area. I will say that most of the store aisles are easy to navigate; however, the smaller stores are a little bit more difficult. Oh, there are PLENTY of handicap parking spots available, regardless of where you park, around Fayette Mall! *more pictures coming soon*

Nice mall! Plenty of parking! 🅿️ y was busy on a weekend when we went there!

Lots of great shops- bustling food court! This mall reminds me of what malls were like in the 2000's - Nice to see a mall with solid anchor stores and folks working. Prices are competitive in some stores, while others are over priced by 25% or more compared to Amazon. Most folks were friendly and mall walkers were there in full force. Great to see this mall thriving.
