The Lakes Mall - Shop MI (Near Muskegon)

5 /5 Explorer Man: On the outside the mall is quite overgrown and not taken care of, trees, weeds, and bushes are growing wild and are a disaster. And once you step inside the mall, youre greeted with a pleasant surprise, the mall is quite nice! And Im talking about the building itself, its well lit, clean, easy to roam around and doesnt have any funny smells. BUT, the mall is missing one thing. Stores! There are hardly any places left inside. My photos on this review show the current state in July 2025. Its bare, walking through it there arent many people either, even on the busiest day of the week which is Saturday. This mall wont survive in its current state, itll be interesting to see how its turned around since the Family Farm & Home store just opened on the property which is not accessible from the mall itself.

5 /5 Arika R Tilden: The Lakes Mall is a wonderful place just to hang out. The businesses are trickling out and some of the smaller shops are expanding into some of the vacant stores. I think something really needs to be done to bring back the liveliness of these malls and as long as private Equity firms decide that theyre going to own everything that will be a lost cause. I enjoy some of the shops there and I hope they continue to be successful. And I think human beings need to get up out of their Collective chairs and go down to the mall and buy some things when it makes sense financially for them.

5 /5 Dmin1990: Great place to walk around. They do have some good restaurants im their but honestly not many stores to choose from like the old days. But their is some neat ones they recently brought in
