Edison Mall

This mall has everything/​store you’ll need. Plenty of stores for shopping for a date or family time. Great food selection restaurants or food court. The employees and people are nice here compared to Tampa/​Orlando malls. The only thing it’s missing is a movie theater

I visited the mall just yesterday and I was satisfied at most. Selection was ok and vendors were ok as well. A little dated but gets the job done.

This mall is well past it’s time. Seems like a dangerous place. There have been shootings in the parking lot. Inside is like a carnival scare zone at Universal Horror Nights. The customers are highly questionable. It needs to be knocked down with and replaced with an outdoor mall.

This is actually for rue21
You had two gorgeous twins that messed me up and i ended up buying more that what i came in for i came for earings but i lefts with pants shirts necklace and earings
Kudos Rue Alex and Adam got me frazzled because they were gorgeous

Decent amount of stores, clean, weird layout though if that’s not a strange critique ha

It can be a bit of a throwback to the malls of the early mid 90s but it’s got lots of shopping options and all under one roof… the other outdoor malls in surrounding areas are only good when weather is permitting, but here in south Florida that can be a tall order.

As far as malls go, this is like the place wants to be a mall when it grows up. Lol. Limited stores, dirty floors… I was very unimpressed

If you like shopping for perfume, cell phones, or walking past vacant stores, this is your mall.
A waste of time.

The only reason I went to this mall was to shop at Macy’s. Otherwise, there were not enough good stores for me to shop.

Want to buy perfume?
Just bought perfume, and forgot about some other perfume you needed, but now you’re at least seventy steps from the last perfume store, and you don’t really want to backtrack?
Drop your phone when you realized you forgot more perfume, and cracked your Hello Kitty case?
Was it your girlfriend’s phone, who’s now mad at you to the point at which only a $ 100 CZ ring from Zales can reconcile?
Even standard big names have bailed, save Sbarro’s, Sears and (a waning) Macy’s. There’s a Radio Shack, inexplicably, so maybe if you walk in expecting it to be a fragrant museum to shops and cellular accessories gone by, you’ll be pleasantly fulfilled. Otherwise, the outdoor malls 5 – 15 miles south are better suited to meet your needs.
Unless that need is perfume.

I’m biased, I’ll admit, when I write this review of Edison. I hail from cities with exceptionally good mall choices (Atlanta and St. Louis, both), but even so, Edison Mall really only fits among the lower offering malls in both places. Sad but true.
I came to Ft. Myers with my boyfriend a few weeks ago when we were visiting his sister who’d just had a baby boy. As you may imagine, the new mom (for the second time) was in pretty desperate need to get out of the house for a few hours with her three week old, and we were happy to oblige. The mall trip actually killed two birds with one stone: get the baby out in public and I got to see where my boyfriend’s first job in the States was after moving up here from Trinidad & Tobago.
When we got to Edison Mall, he told me it looked much as it had when we worked there at Berdine’s (now Macy’s). What it said to me was «I was built quite a while ago and am in need of a major facelift and updating.» The collection of stores is much the same as you’d expect at any slightly-​below-​middle-​of-​the-​road mall: Books a Million store, Bath & Body Works, Macy’s, Express, Frederick’s of Hollywood, Claire’s, etc. and a food court, of course.
We made a complete loop of the mall and I saw the Macy’s, which used to be Berdine’s. We also ended up eating at a funny Sbarro buffet-​style place in the mall, as the baby had fallen asleep and the more he slept, the better.
All in all, Edison serves the purpose of the residents of Ft. Myers, but I’m glad it’s not my primary mall.

The edison mall is considered the flagship of ft myers. Its one of the oldest established malls in the area outside of the gulf coast town center. As a kid i would come here and walk around with my friends but the quality has taken a dive. The stores are not high end stores and people follow you around as if you want to steal rather than ask you if you need help. I guess most of the stores are use to theft all the time. That is definitely a turn off and bad for business, the only stores i like to frequent are dillards, disney store and the shoe stores. Everything else is a waste basically. The parking is horrible on some days seems like the whole town is at the mall. The food court could use a face lift and some new food eateries

I recently moved to Fort a Myers and due to other Unilocal reviews I put off checking this mall out. My opinion is unlike most of the others because I liked it!
Nope it isn’t a mall full of luxury shops which is good because I can actually buy things instead of just window shop.
Lots of little areas to entertain kids and a kids club with events throughout the year. Plus there are comfy chairs for the bored men scattered throughout.
Their is a great Disney Store here! And a small Yogurt Mountain inside the BooksAMillion.

This place does not have a good selection of stores.
On top of that take great care to hold on to all valuables. If people aren’t trying to steal from the stores they’re trying to nick something off you.

I don’t know what happened to this mall. It was never amazing but it’s has really gone downhill in recent years. I kept thinking am I at Walmart? When I mentioned to a friend how bad it was she said oh yea nobody goes there anymore. My parents also told me to make sure I left before dark because they have problems with drive by shootings. That being said, the Disney store was ok and I picked up a few things for my son at a good price. And the Macy’s has a Mac counter but other than that BAD! A lot of no name «filler stores» as I like to call them. Overall I would be ok never stepping foot in there again.

Following the reviews of the Unilocal users we were very uncertain if it was a good idea to go to Edison Mall or not. we did go and actually we liked it.
Finally not an outlet. Yes, it was not a premium and luxury shopping mall, but it was well organised, interesting stores for different tastes. nothing really to complain, nothing really exceptional.

Edison Mall is a typical American mall with typical mall stores. It’s the only «typical» mall in the Ft. Myers area (not an outlet mall, outdoor mall, high end mall, strip mall). Evenings and weekends the clientele gets a little shady, but if you know where to park and stores to go to you can avoid most of it (outside of Dillard’s or Macy’s 1 I find are the best).
The parking lot isn’t that great, some parts are not well lit at night, and overall it’s a pain to get in and out of.
Overall fine if you need a typical mall store.
Review #800.

Typical mall — stores range from the $ to the $$$ depending on your taste

I guess it is en vogue to hate on this mall.
I don’t get it, do people really come to FL to mall shop?
Seriously, the malls here have the same stuff the malls in the frozen north have.
This isn’t a bad mall if you have to go.
If you want upscale shopping, consider Miami or Naples.

Maybe I’m going against the grain because I lived in the worst place in America (New Jersey) but this was a really nice mall in my eyes. It was clean, uncrowded and had a bunch of decent stores. I was able to park within a good 20 yards from the entrance late on a Friday. I didn’t get mugged and didn’t see anyone’s grandmother get their foot broken by thugs, so I don’t know what all of this commotion is about. If you want to see «bad,» let me show you some malls in Jersey City.
