Citadel Mall Food Court Colorado Springs

Honestly I'm not really sure why some commenters are hating so much on this mall. It seems like a typical average American mall. Sure there are some closed storefronts, but there are still quite a few present - name brand as well as locally owned. Take a look at my pictures I literally just took today (14 Mar 17) to browse what's there. It looked pretty clean and modern to me, but then again I've been in some pretty run-down places in my life. Not a huge fan of the second story being kind of split in two, but meh. I saw a lot of people walking in and out of stores with leashed dogs, and not service dogs. Not sure what the pet policy inside is, but I assume they let people just bring dogs in freely, so if that's not a thing you like, maybe not the best shopping location for you. I went into Spencer's where I saw some teens... and also a whole wall of sex toys. I wasn't aware things had changed so much during the mere two years I spent in Japan, but hey I guess culture progression? The food court was fairly impressive to me, with a wide variety of choices, though staff training I'm beginning to realize in this area generally is underwhelming. I had to explain to a chocolate shop worker what a sampler was. I don't think my expectations are usually too high, but common knowledge isn't that difficult to obtain, is it? In any case, I wouldn't knock this mall without checking it out yourself, and you'll only be disappointed if you're used to major city expectations. If that's the case, then enjoy the drive to Denver :)

I love this mall! It does need some work as others have stated. Working escalators is a start, a good and consistent janitorial service (soap) and antibacterial stations on all floors, especially near the food court! The best way to keep this mall alive is keep writing reviews, sending emails to the people that matter, and shopping there!Lets all do our part, Let's keep this mall alive!
