While staying in Old Orchard we made a trip to the Maine Mall. What a beautiful and large mall. There is a carousel too. The stores were amazing and there were a lot of people. The stores cater to everyone's needs. Loved it and would go again. :)
Probably the best shopping in the area but dont go out of your way. Just a regular shopping mall. First time visiting Bon Ton. Never had heard of it until visiting here. One floor mall. Nothing special but did the trick of finding something to wear to a wedding while in town. Purchased items from JCrew.
On rainy days we come to the mall and there is a lot more here than where I am from. My whole family enjoys just walking around and seeing the mall atmosphere.
Best time to go is on Sunday morning when the mall opens-after that it really gets crowded. Lots of nice stores-Williams Sonoma is one of our favorites.
My wife and I loved the holiday shopping at this mall. Lot's of stores, and nicely laid out. We had intended on just killing some free time there but ended up spending the afternoon there and then enjoying dinner at the spacious food court. A very enjoyable day!
There is everything under one roof here as there would be at any mall. The big anchor stores are here as well as the smaller shops. There are also a lot of other stores/restaurants along the way and around the mall area. Happy Shopping!!
Maine Mall is a place the kids love to go when in South Portland. Forever 21 is a favorit stop for them. Food court is another favorit for them Red Mango is a nice change and Yummy.
I have been in the Portland Maine area three weeks now and if you are looking for a mall this seems like the place to go. If you are from a larger metropolitan area you may feel that this mall falls a little short of your expectations. Several of the big anchor stores are here as well as most anything else you should desire (except a drug store). Having been in Asia for the last 16 months I am finding that the malls in America lack atmosphere, seeming dull, old and outdated.
You won't be standing on long lines, bumping into people, nor fighting for fitting rooms. Has plenty of stores that will satisfy you. The big department stores including the new Bon Ton. Spacious mall.
Ever since I was a young kid, no visit to southern Maine was complete without a visit to the Maine Mall. This facility has always been a class-act. It is clean and brightly lit, with an amazing variety of stores that will suit almost any taste. Their security people do a great job, and there is rarely, if ever, a problem with people causing trouble. I appreciate the special programs and displays the Maine Mall sponsors throughout the year.I'll be the first to admit that I am not a huge fan of shopping, but the Maine Mall, along with L.L. Bean, is a place I don't mind at all. It's a great place to shop for people of all ages and backgrounds.
