Gulf View Square

Rating this place with 5 stars because it has a 5 star liminal experience. Saw this mall when I was shopping at Best Buy and I knew it would be so fun to go inside. Very sadly, most shops are closed. Some notable shops that I noticed are still open as of August 2023: Bath & Body Works, Rue 21, Dillards, Best Buy, and a bunch of shoe stores. They also have a spirit halloween pop up inside right now as of August that was pretty fun to walk through. Although dead malls make me sad, it is always fun to explore them and their empty, vast vibe. Mall is still fairly nicely kept.

Mall is all but empty very few stores still in operation, but Spirit Halloween is in the mall, update new stores have opened, also food court is got a few good eats.

Let's face it the malls are fading out in this generation. However, over the past two years you can tell management is really trying to slowly turn it around. We've attended a couple events and the kids enjoy it. The food court is full and more stores are slowly becoming more available. I hope business is able to pick up for them in the upcoming years.

Not that long ago the Gulf View Mall was doomed. Most of the stores closed or moved on but there were still a couple jewelry stores and of course, the landmark, Harold Seltzer's! I was stunned when my BFF told me there was a custom T-shirt store there. She ignored me and off we went to get our T-shirts. The Custom T-shirt store in the middle of the mall is AMAZING and owned and ran a top notch place! Since we had to wait for our t-shirts, we walked down to check out what else there was! Seriously, there are lots of options. There's a great nautical store, clothing stores and a great selection of places to get food in the food court! Someone needs to advertise that the mall is still great, cuz of the few people walking around. Please check it out and bring some revenue to the company's that are trying to bring life back to life!

The mall is dying out. None of the stores are worth it. The food court is all but gone. They have block3d off the major stores from access inside the mall. You have to go outside and drive around to the department stores. I only gave this mall 2 stars bc it has some nostalgic qualities. Otherwise I would not spend a single penny at any of the retailers inside or out.
