The Mall at Whitney Field

The Salvation Army bell people in food court should be outside. I couldn’t sit and enjoy my experience due to the four people simultaneously ringing the bells. Really bad placement. I won’t be doing my Christmas shopping here because of the din.

Stopped in at this mall this afternoon to grab some last minute clothing items and I have to say that I actually liked shopping here.
This mall isn’t the most spectacular mall in the world, but it had everything we needed. The food court was a bit sad, but if you need a quick snack then it will meet the build.
The other nice thing about this mall is that there is a nice children’s play area but the teens hanging out here are a bit intrusive.

Confusing and convoluted external layout and hyper aggressive security guards. also there are lots of vacant storefronts. this mall seems to not be doing very well in general.

it is a smaller on level mall, with some nice stores, the staff that works there are so pleasant, the mall opens up to seniors at 8 a. m for walking, and coffee, place is always clean, guards watch the mall, and they are always working to better it,

I found this to be a smaller mall then others that I have been in, but it worked for me the day I went in. Had to go to Kay’s which was located right inside the doors I went in. They were not busy so my friend & I were waited on upon our arrival. I had bought my friend some earrings for Christmas which ended up breaking 2 – 3 mths later. She called the store prior to our arrival inquiring on an exchange & was told it would be the managers decision. I had the receipt & the staff was very friendly & allowed us an exchange for new earrings. Mind you I live in NV & my friend lives in MA so she waited till I was in town to go in with the receipt. We left as happy customers! Thanks Kay’s! Also stopped in Old Navy, great selection of clothes, clean store & friendly staff. Also found this great $ 1.00 store. Had tons of items of good quality… nothing better then walking away with a lot of items & not spending a ton of $$$$. Nice mall to hit for a short shopping trip!

Ok… not awesome.
I’m giving this mall their lofty second star because of the updated, comfortable, and stylish furniture they have placed throughout the mall. It’s at least a step in the right direction. The rest of the mall, however, needs to play catch up… badly!
For those of you familiar with the timeless play «No Exit», I want you to picture this mall. Then picture yourself wandering these drab halls and lifeless stores for eternity. You will then have a pretty accurate picture of this mall. It needs improvement, and it desperately needs someone to care…

Bleeeh! This place is small, small, SMALL! One floor, with no really good stores and I wouldn’t even call the food court a food court.

Auntie Anne’s
Have not been able to get a «fresh» pretzel in years here. They sit in the heater room & get hard & dry. Similar to a bag of Snyder’s that you buy in the store. I even timed it to arrive around 10Am & still, it was hard & dry. Very disappointing, because they are wonderful when fresh. They just melt in your mouth & not oversalted. Just an example of how one site can bring down the franchise name.

Posted the above to FB & got an immediate response from corporate. They do care! They sent me 2 coupons for free pretzels. Used a coupon today to test it out. Luckily, it was busy enough where a fresh batch was just coming out as I ordered. There is no other way to eat these except when they are ‘fresh’. They melt in your mouth. Thank you corporate!

Stopped into Lilis yesterday to check out their selection. Positive: Had a lot of different things including flower and concentrate accessories which many store don’t carry. Also had a lot of heady glass. Negative: Not willing to work with you on prices at all like all other headshops. Sticker price is not that reasonable either. Especially if your going in there dropping one to two hundred dollars your first time being there, like my buddy and I had did. Sticker price for everything and no freebies with a huge purchase. Won’t be going back at all. Recommended if you need something small like papers but not a huge purchase like glass because there simply all about making there profit back not drawing customers back in. A lot better shops out there that will and do give money off the sticker price and actually care and know how this business works.

Sbarro’s had the most delicious pizza I’ve ever tasted. It had no red sauce, but it was loaded with succulent greasy pepperoni and melted, perfectly burnt cheese. The crust was thick and buttery, smothered with pepperoni. It was delicious, and the mall itself was extremely exquisite, and the shops were fancy and the servers, gracious etiquette, I enjoyed myself thoroughly. It was great! I give this mall a 5 out of 5! It’s the highest review I’ve ever given! Well done Sbarro’s!

I do not come here often, but I like the atmosphere at this mall. I have not been to many of the stores here, but I like coming here to take a walk around the mall. I have really nothing negative to say about this place.

The Mall at Whitney Field is not that big nor is it overly fancy (think Burlington Mall) but it’s got a certain charm, and I like to stop in when I’m in the area. It has a huge Old Navy, Chuck E Cheese for the kiddies, and your typical mall fare (Hot Topic, Sears, Game Stop). There’s a train that seems to run constantly and goes relatively fast (at least I find it fast for a crowded shopping center) that you sometimes have to dodge out of the way to avoid being uh bumped by it. The place is busy and can sometimes feel a little claustrophobic. Parking is plentiful and there are satellite stores and restaurants a-​plenty if you don’t find what you need at the mall itself. I find it very similar to the Liberty Tree Mall in Danvers.

This mall died in my heart a long time ago.
Fun Fact: The GameStop used to smell like poo and nerd B.O. until they moved into a new storefront a few years back.
There are fewer and fewer stores every time I visit. Even The Gap left for greener pastures. Although there was a brand-​new DSW rip-​off when I was there last that appeared to be getting decent foot traffic.
Wife likes to go for JC Penney’s and Macy’s, I tolerate it for either a) Auntie Anne’s pretzels, b) DQ milkshakes, or c) the possibility of going to the nearby Newbury Comics afterwards.
It will do in a pinch, but overall… eeeeeeeeeeeeeh. Its glory days are far behind it.

Very trashy clientele.

5 Stars for one reason … Lili’s
Oh, there is also bunch of other stores around Lili’s too, though I wish they would close so Lili’s could expand …
There is no food court, though there is plenty of good food just outside the mall. I wonder if Lili can cook?

Only visit this mall when Im visiting the Bestie in Fitchburg… Went yesterday for the Play Yard… Our kids ran around for a little bit… Have yet to actually SHOP in this mall… Once ran to Bath & Body Works, but only really run here for our boys to play in the yard… Seems to be an ok place, just not much selection…

This mall is oooookay. It’s pretty much the only mall thats close to me. Not too many stores to choose from. I pretty much just shop at Macys but even the Macys doesn’t have that much of a selection.

Complete slum.
Store closings everywhere.
Barely a food court.
No updated stores.
I feel dirty whenever I walk in there.

Oh, Searstown. wait! The Mall at Whitney Field. I’ll never bring myself to call it by it’s new name, I guess. I’m not even sure as to where this Whitney Field is, exactly. However, the review must go on.
I lived in Leominster most of my life, and I have some fond (and not so fond) memories attached to this mall. My dad would take my sister and I to the toy stores here every weekend, for maybe 4 years. Until we reached an age where it was just unacceptable to be seen in public with our parents! That’s when going to Searstown (doh! The Mall at Whitney Field) became an event, every Friday night. Middle school students from all around Central Mass would pour into the mall from 8pm-​close. That is, if they made it until close. Most of them would get kicked out for loitering, or stealing underwear their parents most likely wouldn’t approve of. Once the mall security wrangled all of these punks out of the stores, they moved on to bigger and better things, ie: the movie theater next door. So if I have any legitimate advice to give, I’d say avoid the mall on Friday and Saturday during these hours. It will be cluttered with loud and foul-​mouthed pre-​teens.
As far as actual shopping goes, it’s «so-​so». Department stores include: Macy’s, Sears, and JCPenny. The food court is one big clusterfuck. I’d be embarrassed to introduce an out-​of-​towner to The Mall at Whitney Field’s food court, because it’s hardly that. There’s a Dairy Queen, Subway, Sbarro’s, Auntie Anne’s, and a generic/​mediocre Chinese (perhaps Japanese) restaurant. If you’re hungry after a day of shopping, I suggest going outside and around the corner to Panera Bread. There are lots of fast food joints surrounding the mall, which is convenient for those who are getting off of route 2, however it’s a long walk (or an unnecessary drive) for shoppers. Chopsticks is down the street, too. Yum!
There has been talk about expanding The Mall at Whitney Field and creating a second level. But last I heard, that is not possible due to the land not being able to support the building, resulting in a sinking shopping mall. Bummer! I’ve been awaiting an H&M, Brookstone, or Lush. I will continue to dream.
All in all, a convenient place for last-​minute gifts, or a quick shoe-​shopping fix. Three stars!

I like this mall because it is small and easy to navigate.
It has your average anchor stores, Macy’s, Sears, and JC Penney’s. Add to that Circuit City amd Old Navy and it’s a nice combination. They also have the standards for most malls, Hot Topic, Spencers, Victoria’s Secret, and the always necessary Friendly’s Restaurant so that you don’t fit into anything at Vickie’s Secret.
My favorite place to come has been Bitten at Steve & Barry’s. Although by the time I get their they no longer have anything in my size — it’s nice to know that I have optons. Bless SJP’s little heart that she thinks every woman is entitled to have some affordable fashion in her life.
The food court — well, isn’t a court really. Auntie Annie’s, Orange Julius/​Dairy Queen, and a small coffee place is it. The Golden Arches vacated last I knew.
Not a bad place to stop if Route 2 traffic comes to a complete stop — which happens frequently :)
