West Ridge Mall

Like all shopping malls, this once grand structure is slowly and quietly fading into memory. Only a few national chains remain, as best I can tell, there's no locally owned stores left. The foodcourt is completely abandoned. The arcade is a complete joke. It's really sad to see this place that was once so full of life, now devoid of it. Hot Topic, Journeys, and Spencer's all remain, and are the only reasons I end up at the mall anymore. I'd love to see it make a comeback, but I highly doubt it will.

There's a lot of empty spaces but there's still most of the stores you see in every mall. Rarely busy so nice to walk around. It's always clean when I've gone. Several emergency storm shelter areas too.

This mall is essentially empty. Unless you are coming here for something in particular that you know is still open I would pass. Particularly, if you are from out of town and don’t know, the mall is dead and there isn’t much of a reason to go at this point. There are many other malls within an hours drive such as Oak Park and Legends which I would recommend much more than this mall.

With the new owners, it seems as if someone is finally caring for the building and making it a "must go to" place in Topeka. I'm excited to see their long-term plan!

We decided to walk the Mall, and do a little shopping. We enjoyed tourin Dillards, Penneys and Kirklands. I was extactic to find some new clothes that I sorely needed. We were impressed with all three of the stores, the merchandise, the people and the condition of the stores. The entire walk was a pleasant experience.
