The Village At Orange

Ehhh, this is one of the smaller malls in the OC. It looks pretty nice from the outside, but on the inside, it’s pretty rundown. I usually come here to buy some work shoes/​boots just because all the Famous Footwears around me are closed down. Other than that, I would probably not come all the way to this location to shop. There are way better shopping malls in the area.

All those millions poured into the mall for the new make over, and it comes out looking like a penitentiary! Ugliest mall I’ve ever seen!

The mall looks nice and big from the outside, but that’s all.
There is nothing inside. ²⁄₃ of the stores are closed. They only have small flea market lookalike tables in the middle of the mall. I’m not so sure whether some of the stores is in the middle of renovation or just closing down for good.
The signboards don’t make any sense, especially the one for Cost Plus World Market.
They put a signboard that shows the entrance of Cost Plus World market is on the end of the mall.
A lot of people were trapped like us. When you walk to the end of the mall, you can only window shop the CPWM.
The signboards look like they have a second floor and a basement, but they only have one level.
This place needs another year to fix their problem, until then… No Thanks!

We live close by and tried to check every now and then if there is something new. We go to the fast food area which is very close at the entrance of the mall. The food court is empty but with a few people hanging out. It is being renovated now but still as empty inside.
Bath & Body works i believe is now closed. Tried to check in some goodies but ended up disappointed as it is not there anymore. Most of the establishments there are either jewelry shops or some boutiques that we are not familiar with.
Kids section is also not as enthusiastic as it was. It is boring for the children.
Though the surrounding areas are better off to hang out at. Check Walmart, Oggi’s, Panera Bread, Chipotlé and others to be entertained.

I’ve been a customer of «The Orange Mall» for decades. Now named, The Village, it includes several large department stores and restaurants, and smaller shops inside, with a food court area.
The mall has come such a long way. The inside is decorated very nice. It appears new flooring has been incorporated throughout. The mall gives a small, comfortable feel, rather than an extensive, overwhelming one.
The outside is still under mass renovation, which is why I chose 4 stars for now. Once the exterior gets a facelift, this place will be a nice go-​to, when the crowds fear heading to Brea.
The parking is better here, and there’s less side street traffic.

We went to see Santa it was great Merry Christmas and happy holidays from my family to yours

This mall is definitely below average. When I was little, I used to love it 1. Because I didn’t know any better and 2. Because they have this boutique store that’s really cute. But now I can’t stand it!
This mall doesn’t have any popping stores, the stores and mall itself is a mess and can find it dirty at times, there is a Walmart — enough said right?! It is extremely small you can probably walk the whole mall in less than 5 minutes.
I come here very rarely now because nothing at this mall is unique and screams to me «COME BACK!» They have a proactive machine that’s very convenient so I would come about once a month to buy products, but I don’t use proactive anymore soooo good riddance! There are some restaurants outside of the mall but the food court inside the mall is very small and lame.
Parking is fairly easy but I think that’s because no one likes this mall. Totally assuming, but in my case that’s very true! Sorry for the brutal truth, but don’t come to this mall ESP if you have better choices out there!

This is a small out dated mall with a lot of empty stores. Todai moved out, I think Cheesecake Factory is moving in. If you like small stores and no crowd’s shop here.

The «mall Santa» experience really needs work. Our son has autism and requires a tiny bit of consideration to ensure that he has access according to the ADA. My husband was abused by the «helper» who not only did not assist my husband with purchasing the ONE package they have available, he was rude, nasty, and simply said «go print them online yourself I can’t help you.» Terrible, awful experience bordering on violation of the ADA. Truly disappointed with our treatment, particularly in the holiday season.

This is still my favorite Walmart store, and I have only become more fond of the staff here over time! A lot of the cashiers have been here for years now, and shopping here feels like going home to visit family!
My opinion of the McDonalds inside the store has also greatly improved over time, once again because of their wonderful workers! Everyone from the managers to the cashiers are friendly and attentive, and even though the menu is limited, their smiles are endless!
Btw Susan at Subway is still the nicest! Stop in and tell her Blanca sent you!
I would like to give more of a review of the rest of the shopping center but it keeps changing. What I can say is I like the direction it seems to be heading! Can’t wait to see what comes next!

Synopsis:
The lady who picked up the phone on the main number was rude, abrasive, confrontational and bitchy.
I looked up Fashion Q’s number online to inquire on one of their products, the number didn’t go through. I called The Village’s main number in hopes of being transferred. Her tone of voice was snotty, not what she said. She couldn’t transfer me so she gave me Fashion Q’s number. When I politely told her the number didn’t go through for me she replied «What do you mean it didn’t go through?!». I mimic’d the out of service tone, because I couldn’t think of the term ‘out of service’. She told me she’d try the number and came back saying it worked. I asked her for the number again and she replied, «I thought you had the number?!». I told her I switched the online page from Fashion Q’s number to find and call the main number. In response she said, «ugh, here it is» I said, «thank you» and she abruptly hung up the phone.

I truly feel sad when I step into this «so-​called mall». I live a mile away and frequent this mall regularly for my usual quick stops like Bath & Body Works, my nail salon, See’s Candy, Cost Plus and previously, Old Navy.
Old Navy recently closed down — but what I AM excited for is the HomeGoods store that is supposed be taking its place. Now the Hallmark store is closing down too but I did score some excellent items at 50% off during its closing sale. Every time I step into this mall, I find another store vacant. There must be at least 10 vacant spaces in there at any given time.
Only giving it 3 stars due to the lack of quality retailers but it’s convenient for my needs. Food court has limited options but I usually just do Auntie Anne’s or the Filipino takeout place. I think I will be devastated if Bath & Body Works ever leaves this mall so please don’t take that away ever!

Small one story mall makes it easy to get in out although the parking lot can get crowded at times.
I usually come here to visit the usual suspects: Walmart, World’s Market, Ross… they also have JC Penney, Sears, See’s Candies, Todai, Red Robin, etc
It definitely doesn’t feel as new or «clean» as other malls but it’s a good option in Orange to run some errands.
Unilocal 100 Challenge! 2015: ³³⁄₁₀₀

Is it just me or is this place just depressing to go to now? It used to be alright; a few good stores here and there, but now, nearly everything is shut down. Most of the good stores are gone. Not too many people come here.
It’s still a good place to walk around and get some exercise, but in terms of actual shopping, you can’t really do that here.
I wish they would revitalize this place by adding new shops. The potential is definitely there. Tons of space and lots of parking. It can be a really popular spot if they add more things. They should try to model it after the Outlets of Orange.
I hope they don’t shut this place down without trying to do a major renovation.

Here we go again…
Phone stylist has a new location here at the village at Orange and it’s closer to where I live and they gave me 20% off for coming to their new location…
Mall doesn’t seem busy so that means it’s gonna be done quick… Can’t wait to see my iPad :)

Local mall for the people of orange ca. It is a small but a nice mall.
There are different shops but a lot of times most businesses go out of business.
A Lot of space for parking in the front and back.

This mall tries so hard, but it just can’t keep tenants except those that have been there forever, like Hallmark, Sears, Old Navy, JCP, and WalMart. I do enjoy World Cost Market. The food court it tiny but decent.
The mall hasn’t been remodeled from what seems like the 60’s, but it’s clean.
I always park behind and walk in from Penney’s rather than the front. The side of Sears is another great place to park near Trader Joes and their auto center.
Basically, this mall isn’t a destination for tourists, but serves it’s purpose as a mall for the neighborhood.

I think the consensus is spot on – this shopping center is A-​OK. It’s not as great as some of the other malls in Orange County, but it definitely has shops that keep me coming back to what is known as the Village at Orange.
Sprouts and Cost Plus are my faves in the center and the real reasons for multiple return visits and I love that there is even a Trader Joe’s and BevMo in the outskirts. Party City is a must for all event stuff and they even have a Tuesday Morning if you want to get your discount shopping on. I haven’t been to the wine store they have there — but someone said I need to check it out.
As for in the mall itself, the only stores I actually frequent are GameStop and Ross. I try not to set foot into Walmart unless I absolutely have to, especially since there is a Target across the street… yeah, I’m one of those people. I tried to go to that 24 Hour Fitness, but sadly, my super upgraded membership wasn’t upgraded enough as this is one of the few that aren’t included in my package. The one time that I did end up going there, it was nice though!
The food court is pretty dismal with about 5 – 6 different choices. Not one better than the other and pretty mediocre in taste and quality. If you’re coming to this mall to eat, I’d go with Oggi’s, Red Robin or some of the spots in the parking lot like Chipotle, Rubio’s, Olive Garden, Panera, Coffee Bean or Jamba Juice, at least you know what kind of quality you’re getting and it’s better than the mall fare.
Parking can be crazy during the weekends and holidays — mostly because of Walmart. I do love that they have 30-​minute spots up front. Just be warned, they are timed and they will ticket you if you’re there longer than you’re supposed to be. It makes those quick ins and outs easier, especially if you just want to run into the store for just one thing.

This is s very tiny tiny mall. I wouldnt even call it a mall. In less than 10 minutes you can walk the entire mall and see it all. In fact there is nothing you can miss even if you blink your eyes. There are not a ton of options here or gift ideas but you can definitely find something and advoid the crowds.
The best things here are Sears, JC Pennys, Sees Candies, Mrs Fields cookies, Bath and Body works, the watch guy, the Japan shop, Cost Plus and the Pet Store. There are a few outside resturants like Red Robin, Todai, Chipotle, Coffee Bean and Oggis pizza that are pretty decent.
The bathroom here is super cool and they have a pretty neat little bathroom next to the Pretzel place. But, the hallway to get there is a mile long, dont walk it alone.
Parking here sucks. I always park behind the mall and enter through the corner entrance near JC Pennys. Its a little sketchy back there so pay attention to your surroundings.
3 stars because 3 of my favorite places are here… coffee, pets and the gym.
I think Im a fan.
Review #499

You can hardly call this a mall. It’s small but it has a few anchor stores like Sears and JC Penney.
You can walk the whole thing in 20 minutes.
It’s adjacent to the 24 Hour Fitness and the Wal-​Mart and oh yeah, the Cost Plus World Market. The Target is across the street so you kinda have everything in one place.
It has a smallish food court, nothing too special or great. I skipped the food choices that were offered. No, thanks.
For a small mall, it features some pretty cool stores like Ross, Payless Shoe Source (there’s one across the street too but whatever), Bath and Body Works, Famous Footwear, and some other small independent stores.
Not too shabby. Oh, there’s an Old Navy too. I’ve been twice already.
What I like is that it’s clean and not crowded. Not even on the weekends. I hate crowds. I can shop with ease. Cell reception really sucks tho. Just really sucks. Try to leech off of Old Navy free wifi as long as you can but it ends near the food court and then you’re just sort of left struggling.
