Holiday Village Mall

Very disappointed in our mall. The owners charge way too much to rent spaces from what I have been told by multiple managers at this mall. They also don't take pride in maintaining and updating the mall. The bathrooms are usually pretty nasty and stink. And the elevators on the inside look like they haven't been wiped down since 2009. Even has the old mall flooring in one of the elevators. There is no more food court. It's completely empty. There is just the Little Athens Greek restaurant down the hall where the main food court used to be. I miss Twisted Pretzel and Orange Julius soooo bad. Especially twisted pretzel. The dang pandemic ruined a lot for this mall, but so do the owners.

SHOPPERS BE WARNED I believe that all patrons should be informed that Holiday Village Mall has personnel on-site who are now enforcing what can only be described as a subjective and ambiguous dress code. Excerpt from Code of Conduct 9. "Visiting the center without shirts or shoes, or failing to be fully clothed. Wearing clothing that is, or in a manner that is, obscene, offensive to others, that may provoke a disturbance, or is otherwise inconsistent with a first-class, family-oriented shopping center". Now, at first glance the rules seem pretty simple until it comes to something that an enforcement individual deems is not consistent with a first-class, family oriented shopping center. Regardless of whether you procured the items within the mall and are wearing them on the way out or bought them elsewhere, you are subject to the morals/views/beliefs of the individual assessing your appearance on behalf of management. Whether it be a skirt/shorts "too short", "seen areas of a bra", too tight of clothing, too much skin present, or inappropriate wording be warned. You may be approached by an individual who takes issue with your outfit and can "expel or ban" you from their facility without discussion. Today, my wife was issued a warning because part of her bra could be seen from a side profile of her shirt (outfit bought from the mall) and told that if she returned to the mall in the outfit she would be asked to leave the premises. There are stores within the "first-class, family oriented shopping center" whose advertisements appear to be in conflict with said code of conduct. However, patrons are the only ones held accountable. Take this information as you please, but I thought/hoped to spare anyone else the embarrassment of being told by a complete stranger that the way you dressed yourself is inappropriate and deemed not first-class or family oriented.

I used to like coming to Great Falls and visiting the Holiday Village Mall, but with the current economy, the place is a skeleton. Although my favourite stores, Scheels and JC Penny, are still here, it would be nice to have more in here. Don't be discouraged to still visit there. There are some good stores on the lower level and good deals to still find around the mall. Pop into Little Athens for a coffee or lunch; good group working there.

Saddest excuse for a "mall" I have ever seen. I've been to convince store that have more to offer. Probably 80% empty, dirty, no upkeep, but fits perfectly with great falls as a whole lol

Holiday Village appears to be in some sort of identity crisis. This used to be a hopping place , However most residents here feel that HV is not keeping up with the times, and their resistance to the modern wants and sky high rents and insurance expectations, seems to keep stores away. Great Falls gets COLD in the winter, shopping different stores in an indoor location is kind of an obvious niche. But walk the halls of HV and you'll find a few mainstream stores like Spencer's, Hot Topic and game stop, a hallmark and 1 restaurant (little Athens) most of the gates are pulled down and it's a ghost town on the inside. Christmas sees a huge uptick but mostly because Anchor stores like Hobby Lobby and Ross, Big Lots Petsmart and Scheels (on the outside of the mall, carry them.) If HV changed their strategy this mall could be a hit spot once more. There are easy entrances to each course if the mall that makes it so you don't have to walk forever to reach the store you want to be at. Sky light and plenty of seating a huge food court area....now if it could just be utilized in a better fashion so the stores that are there could make a bigger profit.
