Fashion Square Mall, Saginaw, MI


Fashion Square Mall is owned and operated by CBL and Associates Properties. The mall was opened in 1972 for the Saginaw Township in Michigan. Today the mall has more than 100 tenants with three anchor stores. The original two anchors were JC Penney and Sears. They also had two smaller stores as anchors: Heavenrich and Wiechmann. Hudson's came to the mall in 1976 as the third major chain. Over the years a few other department stores like Dunham Sports, Marshall Field's and Steve & Barry's were also in the mall. Today the anchor stores are JC Penney, Sears, and Macy's. The fourth anchor location is vacant.

The mall has recently lost some restaurants like McDonald's and Garfield's. Ruby Tuesday opened in 2009, but six months later it closed unable to make it at the mall. Fashion Square Mall has suffered some hardships based on the economy, and had issues in 1981 with a lawsuit involving Elias Bros. Big Boy restaurant.

I like this mall, it's not busy, it has a nice selection of stores, and it's conveniently located. What I don't like is that the T-Mobile kiosk is so badly manned with one very rude person.

When I was there there were two employees, one who didn't quite know what to do, and the other one, who knew exactly how to do what I was requesting, but couldn't be bothered to walk around the corner to show his co-worker. He spent the entire 20 minutes I was there with his back to me, refusing to answer his co-worker's questions about how to proceed. He wasn't busy, there were no other customers the whole time, but he spent the entire time with his arms folded, checking the screen on his phone. Obviously, he wasn't interested in my business.

Oh, and he lied about the service charges for the changes I was asking to be made, it cost me several hundred dollars in charges that it took days of calls to customer service to be reversed.
