Awesome!





Full of skeets, but hey, at least I made it out alive!





It's the Village.. duh ????????♀️????





Good deals





Not enough to offer should be more in the area





i like that that's not so many crowds





Free parking , great good court





The village mall has lost a lot of stores. I hope they get some back










Dying mall.





The village is the village any one from st John's know its basic















The place is gone to the dogs. Not nearly as busy as 10 years ago. The put Home Hardware in there, but you can't get in there from the mall itself, you have to go outside to get into the place, idiotic in my mind.





Not a whole lot at the Village these days. Bring back the fountain.. If you build it, they will come!





What few stores are there are opened. Tims and the food court seem to be the busiest in the Village Mall.





Nice





Thers not a lot there





Great





It's a good shopping place





Has most of what you need. Very spacious and has a food court.










It's a mall with mall selections and mall prices. We'll located for the west end.





I have had good experiences when going to the village mall, of course for different reasons I go there , To shop mainly???? But also I have went to eat there at the food court different restaurants ????????♀️. I have to say for the most part , They were good in regards to costumer service also preparation of the food an giving you what you asked for ????.





Like Avalon Mall better





It's not the village mall that it used to be anymore! Not much choices for shopping! Lots of vacancies! Not kept up very well!





I have nothing negative to say in regards to the village mall, As I myself have never had a bad experience, I really enjoy Sportcheck ???????? Honestly I shop there more then anything!( Sportcheck that is????)





Nice spot. Not overly busy compared to other malls. Plenty on offer.





A great place for different stores.





Great community shopping center. Always a great place to find good deals and avoid a large crowd of shoppers.





It was great





Great place





Depressing, only glorious in memory.





Not as busy as the Avalon Mall, better parking.





Run down and needs work. The stores there don't really offer a reason to go in. More vacancy's then there are stores.










A nice place for all the shopping.





(Translated) It does not have many stores, but it has the essentials and a good location (Original) No cuenta con muchas tiendas, pero cuenta con lo esencial y buena ubicación





this mall need a major influx of business





Great customer service, great sales!





Very little to offer with regards to shopping that I can't find at the other mall. I very rarely go here as there are very few stores.





The Mall is actually quite beautiful inside, even being our second mall. There's a fine selection of shopping & has it's own food court.





It's alright nothing special





There to get my phone repair





Had a great day





Not many relevant stores left remaining.





Quiet nice shopping atmosphere





I only went to the village for a flu shot but it seemed by 7pm many things were already closed so be aware of the hours if you want to go shopping.





Very clean, well decorated!





Never too crowded, I always choose this mall over the Avalon.





We came by briefly as a rest stop on our trip. It's sad to see that lots of stores are moving to Avalon mall. The Village mall looks dead now





The poor old Village mall. Never should have taken out the fountain. Everytime we go there's more stores closed. It's sad.










Almost everythimg i searched for(clothing)





Not stiflingly overcrowded, clean and spacious. One of my favourite places to visit / shop.





Great little mall if you don't want a crowd!





Nice mall. Good food court. Good shop selection. It always looks clean and well kept inside.





The mall is dying slow death, it is a clean place and the security keeps most of the sheets at bay. Too bad there are so many vacant stores.





Amazing ????





shopping coffee and food ????





Only movie centre is beautiful





I'm not sure if anyone remembers those commercials for the village mall back in the 90s...well the place is a little downhill since then; I used to love going to the fountain and throwing pennies in there (cant even get pennies now - thank you very much government of canada), but now there's not even a fountain to sit near and talk with friends anymore. Retailers are still surviving I guess, if not coming and going. It's a shade of what it used to be but it's still there and you can still spend money. By definition it's still a mall





Needs a pet store again.





Great place, but it has more potential thats just not used for some reason. Miss the water fountain from when I was younger just not the same and is slowly dying from no improvements.





A place for varieties





There is much store's to shop.





It's a quiet smaller spot but I still go here,





Needs an anchor store of character. Not much there!





Gotta love the village mall










Great little mall to stop for a quick look, or to spend the day. Multiple dine in restaurants in the food court portion. It is a smaller mall, but it gets the job done! Shopping needs with several adult size clothing stores. Good life fitness as well.















Great staff. Very clean change rooms. Plenty of equipment!










It is the mall





The Kutting Zone/ Salon Fredrick's , good prices awesome staff who are helpful and very accommodating










Almost no stores and full of skeets but it has Kuma Bento and I got a nice sweater here so not all that bad. Avalon Mall is better if you have the chance since there’s more stuff to do like watching a movie and an arcade.





Not a whole lot of stores





Great place, never too crowded and a store for everything





A more relaxed shopping experience than elsewhere in town with generally lower prices. The area is always and security is in plain view. Even if not shopping the food court is a great place for lunch or a quick supper.





Beautiful non crowded mall Sakoon mahool





Not quite as good as the Avalon Mall, but still great. Less foot traffic overall. 4/5





Lots of good stores, especially clothing stores. Easy to socially distance.





Tons of skeets. Great for people watching





Great place lots of options





I always loved the village mall! I do miss the fountain though





Can do your shopping here.





The food court is dead.










I love this mall because shorter line ups, staff pretty friendly, and not a whole lot people everywhere..










Lots of parking 2 levels easy to get a round





Went to Ardenes and got slippers that are very warm.





Yeah! Covid-19 restrictions are lifting slowly allowing us the opportunity to start checking out local retailers. Having arrived in St John's just as Covid-19 hit made it challenging to support local retailers, with recent changes to the …





Villagemall is place to meet people





Okay place to do shopping but less collection





Excellent customer service





Always a good way to start your day





Skeets.





Get their early





Great Mall!





I always find stuff I love while shopping here.





Good for health exercise





Some good stuff here





It's got a nice food court





Beautiful place to walk around but was disturbed with the amount of children not wearing masks during this tying times





Not enough clothing stores





Great Home Hardware: Amazing selection, helpful staff.





Everything closes really early, not much time for people who work till5 or 6!





Nice mall every thing looks new





Great!





It's a great place.





I totally agree the staff is nice





Enjoyed the food court but not a large selection of stores suitable for me





The village hours used to love going to the village to hanging out I could have made that many people there now but you know I think business is starting to pick back up there and I think the village is going to be a busy spot down the road





I cannot remember the last time that I went to the Village Mall but there were so many changes that I spent a little time walking through and exploring what has been done. There seem to be more stores and options than I remember. And some …





Not much in the way of stores.





Great discounts










Everything keeps moving or being removed and the place is a cess pool.





Wired people and exspnsive not at all like the exsprience that you had as a kid walking around Sears was where home hardware is and extended into Rossi and also down into sports check. When I was a kid the place was like Wonderland. They even had an awesome fountain that used to spray up to the ceiling. Now all they got is weird security.





(Translated) It was good, but there was a fire after 15 minutes (Original) C'était bien, mais il y a eu un feu au bout de 15 min





Great mall, lots of nice stores, alot less busier then the Avalon mall










Wish they would add more stores. Clean and well organized. Bring back the water fountain! :)










A dying mall





I love the fact I could order online and pick up in store the same day! Brought a Fitbit Charge 3 at Sport Chek for my mom,she loves it! Price was great! Parking is never an issue and I love the openness of this shopping centre.





Not as busy as "Daa udder mall" & I like it.





Plenty of sales with lots of stock!










Sad this place was a gem, it could really be brought back but there is too much in the Avalon mall. If this place had a winners, American Eagle, and am H&M it probably could have turned around. I don't even shop either very often, that is just a Newfie observation. I don't see it surviving. I anticipate it will close in the next 5-8 years. I mean how many hardware stores do you see in a mall???? It's clean and modern just not well managed to compete with the Avalon mall, in a location that is not growing and min away from the other. I don't live in Paradise, CBS, or Galway but that would make more sense, for a location business wise.





Miss the foundation





The mall is very clean. And not busy





Very nice mall





A lack lustre shopping experience. Limited stores, all of which appear to be going out of business. The stores that are located inside this mall are filled with discounted items …





Awesome place to shop





Not a overly busy Mall has most major retailers





Nicer and quieter than the avalon





The food court was busy. The Chinese food was good





A lot of stores were closed but I was on there on a visit to the best barber shop in town with the least amount of respect for their clients





Nice mall with one of the best spots in town to get a haircut!





Need more stores and new food court. Place should be torn down and build a new one





It's a mall





(Translated) A convenient place to shop (Original) مكان مناسب للتسوق










Less people. More time to look arpund.










Nice small unfortunately they removed the the fountain















Clean organized for covid





WOULD OF BEEN BETTER IF THE MALL WAS OPEN





Almost every store closes by 5. At least what stores are left





Not alot of activity here at this place. I'm sure it has to do with the lack of good retail representation.





I like the village. So many weird people tho. Lots of great shops and decent food court options!





Feels like its missing something





If you can avoid the Skeets it's god a decent selection of stores





The Mall was spacious and abided by the federal legislation.





I like it. fun places to shop.





It’s cozy





Although the choice of stores are dwindling... you'll receive great service from staff!





Very nice. Great stores





Will never be as good as the avalon mall





Clean and brightly lit.





First shopping experience in a long while. Great afternoon today shopping by myself, for myself. It was lovely and I got some great deals. ???? ????





Used to like da old fountain





The mall is clean and modern, but as of September 2020 there are quite a few empty locations. The stores that are there represent a good variety, from Dollarama 2 Sport Chek. The food court has a good variety of choices. There is A&W burgers, Mary Brown's Fried Chicken, Chinese food place, and more.





A nice quiet option to do your shopping without the crowds.





I know where everything is! It's never TOO busy, and they usually have great all-time sales!





Standard shopping mall....all stores are horribly overpriced!





Great stores with great prices





Kinda meh went to ahit when they took out tye fountain........ I dont know anymore





Beautiful mall.





Good shopping on bus route. Not too crowded like Avalon Mall





I love shopping at the village mall. It is usually never crowded and most if not all the stores have wonderful staff working to assist you readily. It is always super clean and a fairly good selection of stores including a goodlife gym!





If you need a Covid shot this is the place to be.





At Tim Hortons when I was served I have mixed feelings about the service. The workers at the cash and supervisor were great however when I got my food there were no napkins. And I didn't realize it until I was away from them





The village is slow good there's a Klondike Jack's there





The mall was very clean and spacious. There was a good variety of stores and services. For the value conscious, there was a Dollarama at one end and Rossy's at the other. Elevators and escalators were clean and functional. A small food court with a good variety. Worth checking out.





This mall is a hit or miss really. Sometimes its really clean and other times you get grossed out just by walking through it.





Not much has changed here in years. Food at food court good.





Many stores are closed.





Very poor operation of a shopping mall. Since the coronavirus, all benches were removed, leaving nowhere to sit. It's especially hard on seniors. One poor senior I saw had to lean heavily on a garbage can as she needed to rest and couldn't continue walking. Benches can be spaced far apart, and very important for your senior shoppers. And also there is no wifi available for shoppers. I think this is the only large retail store in the city that does not have free wifi. Time for the management of the Village Mall to step up and welcome shoppers, not turn them away.





Awesome mall great selection and prices !





Good shipping mall. Had many shops and varieties





Its small





Nice place to get what you need.










It's nice to see some new stores coming in





Fair





Small mall





The mall is dying a slow death and it feels like there is no effort to attract new business. Stores close and nothing goes into that empty location. Pretty soon it is going to be like Mt Pearl Square and be converted to almost entirely office space.





Love it





Needs more diversity





Great sales in most stores










Love going here with friends and family





Low-key think this place is gonna close if they dont get it togeather .. throwback to the fountain . Good village mall days





Lots of parking and offers a good assortment of clothing stores mostly tailored towards lady fashions. Mall is clean and bright. Thankfully never overcrowded. It is a good location to go and not be swamped by shoppers. With a major hardware store along with a top retailer in sporting apparel you can get most of your shopping needs throughout this mall. Don't forget the food court!





Spreads itself too thin, making it hard to stay for long.





Not bad





Bed Bath and Beyond, in mall restaurants are good too





It's the cutest little mall! I hate to see so many stores in it close but other than that it's just the most adorable mall you will ever come across





Got booster. Miss the fountain!










Love to shop here





A quaint small shopping mall. Usually stocked with more stuff than the Avalon Mall.





Not much left in there now





Always liked the village, however a bunch of stores are closing in the coming months, which is disappointing










Place is fine, but needs more stores to attract the public. I only like a few stores there, and I'm always wishing they would bring back Sears. That store was excellent to shop





Variety of stores and low prices





Always have a good time thear but the officers thear always have it out for the teens that hang around ther





The place has very limited shop and toilets are not well maintained





The Village Mall has been around for years.The mall has undergone many changes.Nice variety of stores to shop.You can buy just about anything inside this mall!!





This Shopping Centre is really gone down hill. Lack of retail stores/variety. Not worth the trip; I really don’t understand how this building is still open.










Absolutely lovely mall if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the Avalon mall. Although not very many stores are operating, it has the basics such as an optical, Dollarama, and a food court.





Good armosphere easy to navigate





Get your shot.





Need to get more stores in there










Nice atmosphere.





This mall would see much more foot traffic with some new, well-known stores. It needs to be able to offer something that the Avalon Mall does not, or offer some equally attractive options.





Agree










Too many skeets Askin for me last dart





A very sad little mall. Discount stores selling lower quality merchandise for cheap prices





The mall is nice but the people hanging around outside asking for money amd smokes would seriously turn people away.





The eatery is a great place to grad a quick and tasty lunch and to spend time with friends.





(Translated) Let's change (Original) حلوووو التغير










Quiet spot with a several nice stores. Prices aren't to bad.





Sadly must stores are closed.





Great shopping





Great place, got my vaccine, they have an awesome set up there.










It's quieter than it ever was; personally I like there not being loads of people around, although how long can The Village survive with so few people shopping? The food court has fewer tables all spread out, and it seems the stores are trying desperately to get people to spend their money. I got some great deals :) at Stokes, who are closing that location :( soon.





A bit dated, but a lovely calm and welcoming place with a decent selection of stores. The things that really set it above the avalon mall are the niche places at the foodcourt, the massive sports store, and the equally massive bed/bath store. If you're going for christmas shopping I'd do the Avalon Mall instead, but for a more calm and controlled shopping experience, the Village is lovely. It has also never had the parking issues that have plagued the Avalon (which now has a parking garage but still).





Dollarama





I long for the old days when this mall was full of stores and activities and now it is a sad version of its former self.





It's a good clean mall





great thanks so very much for your help.you have great prices (✷‿✷)(✷‿✷)





Always worth the trip!





Of you can't find it here, you don't need it!!





Great place to shop and socialize





Ok





Not me





quiet. not to many people around.





An open and airy feel with great lighting... geared toward the teen to 30+ croud more than 50+ like me but still worth a walk through










Loved it





It is a great place to get food amd ahop for clothing and sneakers.





Nice place





A little bit of a wait to return items other than that no problem










Good mall





Not too crowded,,lots of stores to choose from





Not impressed with the village at all had a dentist apt 645 the other evening (thursday) and wanted to check out a few shops afterwards. To my surprise everything was closed at 7 except the dollor store and sports check. What the heck





Great place to shop





Alot of stores with good sales on. Its wasn't crowded. It was pleasant shopping.





Nice





Ok shopping never crowded





People there friendly and helpful and it's not over crowded





The did ok with the areas you should walk but the store hrs needs to be more realistic. All stores need to be back at regular operational hrs and closing at 10 pm not 8 pm










A good place to go shopping





Great prices and selection





I remember the village when I was little I can't believe the owners have let it come what it is now. Juat a few cosmetic changes and a lowering of rent, or hosting a local market could really make this the place to be again.





Not to many people and very clean





Not what it once was. A ghost town.















Laura store is my favorite





Quick trip Got all I needed and out in no time





Would be better if the skeets didn't hang around so much. Why are you always waiting at the bus stop if you have no where to go? And no I don't "got a smoke". Ugh





Clean. Many stores.





This mall would probably still be thriving if the mall manager focused on something other than eating big Mary’s and marking sure security kicks out anyone under the age of 20.





Ok










Good place





Small shopping center with a nice food court and a variety of stores to suit all of your shopping needs.





Love this mall. Bentley's store is awesome with good prices.





Nice to be back in





I dropped in after work and they were in the process of closing. Disappointed to find such early closing hours for a mall.















Used to love the food court . Sat there with friends for years . The staff is great , the manager or supervisor is absolutely rude and unfriendly . Watched her treat staff and customers that were not her friends horrible . I will not be going back to watch that circus . The mall itself is great lots of options for food and retail . But my friends and I won’t be back to eat, it to watch people get treated that way .





I like the village but it has lost a lot of its appeal the last few years. A lot of the stores I shop at have moved out. I'm hoping this place will soon return to its former self and attract more boutique stores and have more selection.





Absolutely beautiful mall. Lovely food court. Comfortable. Found what I was looking for.





It’s a dying mall with with a few stores still remaining and the interior is in need of updating





Awesome!





A very nice mall





Great service. I wish you had more stores and that you didn't close so early.





dead mall





It was for my covid vaccine and I must say they are so well organized and pleasant. My experience was very enlightening. Thankyou to all the staff there and may you all stay safe





(Translated) Without Internet (Original) No internet





I received my second Corona virus .





Great mall for parking but not alot of stores anymore. Nice select at the food court.





Clean, clean & clean again! Food court for hot chocolate. It's hot not luke warm. Can sit & read my book. Staff behind the counters are courteous & fast. Cleaning staff are quick & efficient when it comes to sanitizing tables vacated by customers. Trash recepticals emptied on regular basis to ensure we have room to dump our empties. Place 'smells' clean not stale. You have my vote as a return customer.










comfortable shopping there. Less crowded.





Not very crowded which makes it very calming to be shopping










Great experience





Still hanging in there . Quick shopping not as crowded as others















We visited 2 stores in the mall and got excellent service. Mall was very clean.





The Village Mall evokes a nostalgic feeling deep within. There is a constant mystery in its existence. I am reminded of Soviet Russia. Somehow it is dead but very much alive. The wide and almost empty corridors ring echos of a more prosperous time. No matter which entry way you choose, rest assured you will be welcomed be a veil of cheap cigarette exhale and some serious scowls. This all adds to the charm and continues to be a reason why I return. Lots of toilets. Thumbs up.





"Buddy ya got a extra dart?"





Lovely





Best mall in town










Great place to pick up some Xmas gifts, food court of someone is hungry.Nice place to shop.





Great deals





Not too much store open. Clean and not a lots people





Not a bad place to shop





Stores closing!





Not to crowded.ok prices










Kudos to the managers for keeping the mall alive and providing store space for businesses that give people jobs!!!!!!





(Translated) Good place for shopping, variety of stores, cleanliness and good service (Original) Buen lugar para ir de compras, gran variedad de tiendas, limpieza y buena atencion





There are good deals on Now





Busy at Christmas time





Love the customer service at Telus










Don't spent a lit of time at the village much anymore..however..the stores I do visit..I always purchase what I'm looking for










Many stores closing up it seems..quiet mall..some good bargains to be found.





Sorry to see it in decline. Used to be a nice mall. Now looking run down with a couple of vacant locations, a couple of cheap bargain stores, and there are better shopping options.





The mall is fairly old. If you are looking for a mall in St. John's then the Avalon is the best bet.





Village Mall is mainly have many boutique shops with a few anchors like Dollarama, Rossy, urbanplanet and Spotcheck. The food court is quite decent. Ample parking spot closer to mall.










Unfortunately, the owners of this mall have no desire for it to be great. Stores are closing up shop and leaving. The Village mall is becoming a ghost town.





Great little food court. What a feed of Chinese I had





Good experience but no seating areas by the back door up by the Dollarama seats are needed in this area badly










Total garbage village mall is bunk










Good service everywhere I went










Regular visitor to The Dollar store NFL Sunday potato chip go to!





Not many stores to shop anymore





Convenience place, friendly staff at many of the stores.










Good place to shopping





Got to love this place for sure





Was a good visit but closed to early





Great place to get your shot





It's ok....great place to shop, no crowds, except Christmas!










pove the dollarma always has what I'm looking for plus more










Same as always





A variety of specialty shops and a fitness gym. Very friendly and helpful staff, especially at Carleton Card Shop.










Great ????





The mall is never busy making it a pleasant place shop





Shopped Crescent Jewellers, excellent covid protocol in place





Friendly people





Old mall





Good selection of clothing





Ideal for casual shopping





Very good experience





Was very clean and not too busy. Stores had great sales on.





Skeet headquarters





Great homehardware





All I have to say is " WHERE IS THERE A BENCH TO TAKE A REST WHILE SHOPPING???? Like seriuosly I do understand physical distancing but The Avalon mall didn't do this . In soooooo much pain trying to get shopping done and NOWHERE to sit?? Ridiculous. Don't ever take an elderly senior citizen there or anyone that may need to take a little breather and have a quick rest ..especially with breathing problems or the floor it is . That's almost where I ended up only for I had to leave immediately to get to my car so I could rest my legs and knees. Will not give this place 1 star.










lots of stores lots of random sales great deals and customer service





Love shopping at the village mall but hate going into their washrooms because they are disgusting





Maybei look olldear ples





So few stores now.
