White Marsh Mall

Overall a decent mall. Nothing fancy like South Coast Plaza in Southern California but they have a decent selection of stores and eateries. Parking is plenty. Made an afternoon of this while visiting Baltimore this past week.

Every time I think that this mall can’t get any worse, it gets worse. The stores they have now are all trashy, the decent stores that are there don’t even carry their good lines or current lines. The weekends at night bring out the kids and teenagers that get kicked out of The Avenue. This mall needs to be torn down. It’s unfortunate bc there isn’t a comparable mall to shopping downtown or in Towson around here. If you need to buy something, skip this mall bc you won’t find it.

Sadly this mall just is not what it used to be! I remember when I was a child I would come here and be able to get what ever I needed and the mall was packed and there was always something to do or look at!
With time this mall has lost all of its heritage and staples. It has entertained a lot of poor choice stores to occupy the open spaces. I no longer choose to patronize this mall at all! I know go to towson. The only store I will travel to whitemarsh for is Macy’s because I feel that it is less crowded then the towson store and more easy to navigate!
They have taken away everything I once went to the mall for ! In my opinion it has become equivalent to eastpoint mall. The only reason people go to the mall anymore is if you live close to it and it is convenient.

This review is just of the mall itself, not the outlying stores and restaurants or the avenue, and if you need the megabus, they usually leave from the park and ride behind IKEA, but occasionally from other nearby locations around the mall, which could be confusing to out-​of-​towners.
I worked at this mall for 5 years in late 80s/​early 90s and have lived within a mile of it for 30 years. Ever since GGP took over from Rouse, it has been a slow, grinding slide in the wrong direction. I don’t know that it is all their fault, Internet shopping has probably done more damage than anything because most of the stores that now sit empty were homes to chain stores that have closed many locations, not just WM’s (Radio shack, Aeropostale, H&M — we hardly knew ye, many others).
Sadly, the stores that replace the chains are mostly garbage — very temporary looking junk sellers. But this doesn’t mean there aren’t good stores, but they are dwindling.
But I’m not letting GGP off the hook, though. The merry-​go-​round in the food court is long gone, replaced by a dinky coin-​op toddler-​sized one on the first floor and a huge TV screen which might not be bad if they showed anything interesting on it.
They have choked out so many things that made the place fun at the holidays in favor of generic decorations and/​or hanging billboards inside. The Santa area is minuscule compared to what it used to be. It used to be whimsical and the workshop reached up to the second level. By comparison, Santa now sits in a cubicle. Oh, there’s red velvet and brass, but it definitely feels like they took an obligatory corporate approach to it rather than making it really fun. It’s sad to see it be a tiny shadow of what it was.
Then there are other small things that are minor irritations, like changing the logo of cattails from green to red, just dumb. They also put more lights near the entrances, which was needed, but they were just round vertical poles with the lights within the cylinder at the top, not awful, but if you’re going that far, why not make them look like the cattails in the logo (that is now red) and make it more fun and distinct? On the positive side, they replace the brick flooring a few years ago and that brightened it up a bit, and they put some sort of patterned window-​cling-​like stuff on the skylights so that the sun isn’t quite as intense inside on clear days.
If you read the beginning of this and can relate to what I’ve said so far, then you can probably understand why I fear that White Marsh will go the way of Golden Ring Mall. If you didn’t relate to it, Golden Ring was a smaller, but similar mall near WM that had a similar decay until it was eventually torn down in favor of a Walmart and Home Depot shopping center. I don’t think it’s at that point yet, but if the vacancies continue to pile up., well… who knows.
You just can’t keep sliding ABC Collectibles and Leather Man and Party Square (or whatever the name of that awful place is) around and expect some kind of resurgence. We knew it was in trouble when the glow golf went into a large space and knew it was getting really bad when the glow golf closed. I don’t know the details behind it, but when Mamma Ilardo’s Pizza closed, it was the last shop that had been there from or near the opening of the mall that wasn’t a big chain. Guess I’ll have to cry into a delicious Charley’s sub til I feel better about it. I hope it can get turned around soon, it’s not too late!

I didn’t get a chance to do any actual shopping because I was in a wild rush to find my way back to NYC, but I can still speak to the overall facility and service. I needed to get to the Megabus stop but had been stranded in the middle of the parking lot with the vague instruction «it’s on the other side of the parking lot!» No it wasn’t. I circled the lot with no idea where the hell I was going, until I figured I may as well see if there was an information booth inside the mall that MIGHT know where the completely unrelated international inter-​city bus company using their parking lot as an unofficial stop for the NYC-​bound might be. Not only did security know, but the guard in the security office called a mobile unit to pick me up right outside the mall to make sure I was dropped off at the right location (it wasn’t exactly close). I almost hugged all of them, I was so relieved and happy. In the process of looking for the security office,
I got to walk through the mall. I’ve seen my fair share of malls, and I have to say that this one seemed pretty nice. It’s very clean, open and airy, and the store selection looked pretty decent and worth checking out if I had the time. I probably won’t be back at White Marsh any time soon, but I will definitely be sending the mall security team a Christmas card this year.

A good mall with many options. The part for me is that they have a Boscov’s, JC Penny and Sears there. I have always found what I was shopping for here. Recently bought nice jewelry, futon and jacket here. Food court is also nice. Good place for shopping in a reasonable price range.

I was here waiting for my megabus and got to explore the place for two hours. This is a fairly good mall. It is two stories with a decent amount of stores. All the vendors downstairs weren’t as pushy about their products as I expected them to be, which was a plus. It doesn’t have H&M or Urban Outfitters, but it does have the typical Express, Charlotte Russe and Forever 21. They also had a good amount of shoe/​sneaker stores, but not that great of a selection. The food court has it’s selection of Asian and American food, but not much else. I feel like the mall still needs some work, but it’s not bad.
The one thing that really annoyed me while I was here was that the cleaning people were pretty disrespectful. For instance, I was using the bathroom at the food court and as I was in a stall, the cleaning lady mopped INTO my stall and even brushes my backup a couple times that I set on the floor. First of all, I believe that is an invasion of privacy. I was on the toilet as she mopped under the stall door to my feet. It was an extremely uncomfortable situation. Second, I have no idea where that mop has been and I obviously have to wear my backpack. It was so disgusting. I was appalled by her actions.

I used to work in this mall back in my college days. It used to be crowed and actually somewhat of a fun place to work at. Over the years, the kids that frequent there had changed. They are louder than ever. It’s almost like a zoo on a friday or saturday night, but unlike towsontown, which is a zoo.
It is starting to look like Owings Mills mall from 1998, it is dying… slowly.

White Marsh Mall is so depressing to me now. While it hasn’t gotten quite as ghetto as I expected it would, there is a growing number of empty stores + several store closing down. It’s becoming nothing but cell phone shops, jewelry stores, and shoe shops. The 1^st level in obstacle course of pushy sales people working the junk carts and old ladies desperately trying to get you to take a survey.
Plus there is a News Stand with no inventory that only sells scratch off lottery tickets which is really weird.
I don’t think it’s going to become one of those ‘abandoned ghost malls’ you see in other states but it’s not heading in a good direction. Malls need to expand their offerings if they’re going to survive.

Very clean and always good parking. It’s obvious stores are held to high standards. Although I don’t like being bombarded by salesman with E-​Cigs, flying drones and magical make up that makes you 10 years younger, I don’t mind. In fact they have the perfect diversity of stores. A little something for everyone. They also house the big 3. And by big 3 I mean JC penny, Sears and Macy’s. It’s the perfect size so you don’t feel like you walked 10 miles afterwards (arundle mills). Feeling hungry? Try the food court. Kids give you a head ache? Have a beer at green turtle. Want to splurge? How about snicker doodle from the great big cookie. Live a little…

Composite review.
So many stores and things to do and see when we visit this area for family. A great «indoor walking» venue.
White Marsh has all of your typical stores: Sears, JCPenny, Boscovs (newly reopened), Payless, American Eagle, Hollister, Buffalo Wild Wings, Sports Authority, Wet Seal, Victoria Secrets, and much more.
We have only had good experiences there.
f8 and be there.

Great customer service. Very professional even when you have a return, no hassle, no problem. They always have the sizes you need. Great shopping experience!

There’s nothing really special about White Marsh Mall that sets it apart from other malls. It is filled with the usual stores and booths. Boscov’s is about the only thing worth checking out and you best be ready to spend money there!
Simply, an alright mall with a decent food court (it has a Greene Turtle!) and clean restrooms.
There are several one-​way exits that force you to go a specific direction. So, you may have to go the opposite direction before you can make a U-​turn for your intended direction. So, just be patient around that.

Much better than Harford Mall as far as more selection, but I prefer Towson Mall over White Marsh. This is a nice mall though, and close to work for me so it’s convenient to browse during my lunch break.

A great stop along 95 highway. Mall is a great place to walk around, fantasized of the things you can buy and watching people. That’s hard to resist so if realistically you can’t buy, just stay away.

What can I say? Last year I was disappointed in the stores and how they looked but now that the management are updating my favorite stores, I’m happy. This mall has a great selection of stores, I can always find a good deal or grab a quick bite to eat. Now if Urban Outfitters makes an appearance, I’ll be ecstatic.

I’m not a huge fan of long lines, crazy shoppers and oversized malls therefore making White Marsh one of my favorites in the Baltimore area. Towson and Columbia offer too much selection and too many crazy people. if you can get out of those malls with your feet still attached and your bags still in your hand, then you had a successful trip.
White Marsh has all of your typical stores: Sears, JCPenny, Boscovs (newly reopened), Payless, American Eagle, Hollister, Buffalo Wild Wings, Sports Authority, Wet Seal, Victoria Secrets, etc. If you are looking for a quick find, in a mall that you won’t get lost in then I suggest White Marsh Mall. The mall is literally a rectangle, so if you get lost. you really have no sense of direction.
Also, its important to note that White Marsh has a pretty awesome food court. From the $ 1 drink place on the corner, to the sushi places, to Mamma Ilardo’ s. you can find anything to eat. Plus, the mall offers Buffalo Wild Wings, Red Robin and it is now renovating the old Ruby Tuesdays to become a Greene Turtle.
Happy shopping for the holidays, all!

This mall is pretty good for the area. Not as big as Towson Town Center, but definitely much better than East Point Mall. The food court has a decent selection of food, but you should get your drinks from G’Lato D’Italia because they are large and only $ 1 including tax.
You have your basic mall stores like Forever 21, JC Penneys, Macys, Aeropostale, Hollister, American Eagle and about 5 fine jewelry stores and of course a Starbucks.
I would stay away on Friday and Saturday nights because that’s when all the teeny boppers like to swarm the mall and it can get pretty hectic.

Slowly getting worse, mainly because of demographic of area, city spread.
Still has some good stores in it, nice to have so close, but go to Towson for the better selection.

Decent mall, many large name department stores are located here. The food court is cool with it’s merry-​go-​round. The place look’s as if it could benefit from a remodel, there is still neon in the food court…
The design is pretty cool for a multi-​level location. However there is many store’s I shop at which are absent here making this mall a last choice for my self, but likely good for many other people.
