Louis Joliet Mall

Dont let the front entrance fool you. Shopping center is very open and alive. Plenty of brand stores and lively food court inside. Great place to shop & dine at! Highly recommend.

We stopped by this mall because we were in Joliet for dinner at White Fence Farm and had some time to kill. Unfortunately, like most malls these days, it was nothing special. If you've seen one, you've seen them all. Malls seriously need to evolve. They should offer something unique—something that sets one apart from the next—so that there's actually a reason to visit beyond just killing time. What used to make towns interesting and full of character were the small, independent stores. Each one had its own personality, its own flavor. Now? Malls have wiped them out and replaced them with the same chain stores you can find anywhere. The result? Every town ends up looking and feeling exactly the same. No charm, no surprises. Just plain boring.

So glad this place still exists since malls in general seem to be a thing of the past. So much nostalgia. Sbarro is my favorite food place in there. The pizza is delicious! I loved walking around and stopping in many stores. Don't give up on malls, people.
