Champlain Centre - Shop NY (Near Plattsburgh)

4 /5 Bruce InCharlotte: Many malls are dying but this one seems to keep kicking along with most of the spaces having tenants and even the car dealership parking a vehicle for display. I started off at Target and walked through the mall. On a Sunday morning, not much open but the walking folks were doing their thing here and there. Plenty of parking, smooth and clean floors. I think it will still be here for a few more years.

5 /5 Jacobin Incorporated: -TLDR- YES!!! the GIZMO still works! (They just run it on a limited schedule due to noise issues) Great Stores! Great Staff! Great Vibes! -The gizmo has been running since the 1980s and is still clacking and dinging. My family and I always take a picture or two near the rube Goldberg machine when we trek that way -Anchor stores are always buzzing. Target, hobby lobby, Ross Ollies currently - One of the cleanest malls Ive visited ! (One of the few malls that staffs a person right in the food court to tend to sudden spills! ) I dont know her name but there is a pleasant drop of sunshine who sings in russian? as she tends the food court, very nice person! -The interior has a bouncy house business that does kids parties or just by the hour (and YES there is some clean comfortable seating immediately near the large glass walls so parents can relax while their children burn off the high octane sugar from the cotton candy machines nearby) -I was sad to see the book store book burgh go. The couple who worked there seemed so pleasant. -currently the food court has Sbarros pizza ( my kids favorite), China Cafe (teddy is always so welcoming and food is great price) and Island Vibes (jerk chicken there uses a unique recipe you have to try to believe) -Games top staff is always really nice (even when my kids are being a handful) Shout out to their manager! -American Eagle, Maurice and Claires have plenty of variety and I know my wife hates ordering Some mislabeled size or style clothes from some careless overseas warehouse only to get it and see its the wrong thing completely. We like actually TRYING clothes on, and getting what you expected. What are we really talking, like a 1$ difference? And not having to destroy the environment by shipping a product back and forth back and forth back and forth back... -the living edge has some really unique tables and decorations -DSW and Shoe dept have a wide variety of foot wear (did you know Caligula means little boots? He was named after his child sized armor he used to wear on campaign) the manager of the shoe dept (starts with a B ? ) is such a nice person! Very helpful! I would just like to take a moment and call out some wonderful people who buzz around behind the scenes. -Jack the dog and his human Russ were recently recognized by the parent company for their hard work and diligence in hands on operations of the mall. Way to go. Russ has been a familiar face since waaay back when and it seems the mall is in good hands. - Scott, or Mr Fixit, as my children call him when they see him on the grounds fixing knocked down signs or patching the hull of that ol gal. If shes seaworthy after all these years, we can probably thank Mr Fixit. -Lisa, a very pleasant mall office staff, is a staple of the community and can always be found laboring for a noble cause such as the recent work with mall staff on a dog park area. -of course I cant forget, I dont know if hes stil there but my father used to mall walk and kept mentioning a very nice security guard who was chipper and pleasant in the mornings. Never got the name. Bald, glasses. Anyway, dad says hi. - sorry for the ramble. -its a great place, with good people and its still an amazing place to bring the family!

5 /5 Television Television: This mall has some great stores. Some really warm and caring staff. HAPPY MONDAY! I dont know his name but that bald morning security guard is one of the most pleasant people Ive ever met. The floors are so clean they sheen and mute the refracted lamp light glow. I love to just walk around during the holidays. Everything looks so pleasant, Perfect atmosphere for holding hands with a special someone for sure!!

5 /5 Carmen Sherwin: Its exciting to see movement in the mall now. With the recently opened Fresh Bubble Tea and soon to open Island Vybz, I hope that means there is more to come. The mall always feels very comfortable and safe.
