Lindale Mall - Cedar Rapids, Iowa

I hosted a Made in Iowa event in the old Younkers building. We had 153 vendors. The mall staff was amazing! The men's bathroom is a trek away. The space did get a bit warm . But over all we were pleasantly pleased with our experience working with mall staff.

I didn’t count the stores, but I feel like there’s more store fronts empty than occupied. And many of the occupied ones look like they are temporary.

Nice large indoor space for walking, which I saw several people doing.

While this mall is definitely dated and struggling, it’s nice to have a space where you can stretch your legs and get some food.

There are no fewer than 8 Coke machines in the mall.

Small, free play space.

Be advised that there’s a Youth Escort Policy. Kids under 16 can’t wander the mall on their own.

Still there. Lindale Mall is out favorite local mall to go to. The mall itself unfortunately is no longer what it used to be, but there are a few stores in Lindale Mall that we visit quite often, and of course you enjoy the rest of the mall in the process. It is clean, it has some good stores, and is quite central to plenty of easily accessible other shop-areas.

I'm an 80s baby girl and when in doubt go shopping. The place is so brightly lit, very spacious. The whole place feels very light and airy. Makes you feel like it's spring time once you're inside.

Feels old now. So many empty spaces. Several of the businesses that are open look raggedy. Mall staff - two I encountered were inattentive to a ridiculous Level. By mall staff o mean individuals who are employed/x
Contracted by the nell itself.

I actually left this mall feeling depressed. My wife put it perfectly: this mall is where dreams go to die. The entire place looks like it hasn't advanced at all since the 1980s: tired storefronts, passe gimicks like massage chairs and bubble-gum-machine congolmerates. Many of the spaces were empty, and most people wandering aimlessly through the uninspired building looked bored, and certainly didn't look like they were there to spend money. It was just depressing. That said, others who have reviewed the mall seemed to like it, so perhaps it's just a matter of personal taste.

I do not take for granted having a mall nearby. I like seeing the quality of items before purchasing them. Clothing online is such a hassle especially when you have never tried that particular brand before.
Lindale started as an open air mall and Von Maur use to be Peterson Harned Von Maur.
Some of the stores include: Holley’s Shop for men, GameStop, Foot Locker, Finish Line, Effie Bauer, Claire’s, Buckle, Maurices, Bath & Body works, American Eagle Outfitters, Bohemia’s, CJ’s banks, Carter’s, Francesca’s, Justice, Famous Footwear, Express Factory, Victoria’s Secret and many more.
It has a play area for younger children called Wellville and
Lindale even has a game area next to Hu Hot with bean bag toss and to complete the setting- Adirondack chairs!
They have places to eat and businesses such as cell phone retailers and my favorite place to buy glasses and have my eyes examined- Lens Crafters.

I have seen a change in the mall.

More people and more businesses. Seeing people come back to this space is outstanding.

Lots of great stand
