I like the place. Unlike many other malls in the country this mall is still lively. The selection of shops is good, a good variety of products is available.
What I noticed, and also my reason to come here, whenever I'm around is the amount of people walking indoors.
Rain or shine the mall has a good layout for an indoor workout, and it seems widely accepted that people are putting in their steps here.
Its a decent mall, but once you've been here once, you really dont need to visit often.
New shops end up closing within months of opening, and most of the Kiosks sell AliExpress junk.
Speaking of Kiosks, they really need to get rid of that shoe cleaner kiosk. The employees constantly harass or follow you until you give in. God forbid I wear ANY brand name shoes, including Vans!
That shoe cleaner is the worst thing ever. They were gone for like 2 months and it felt nice not having to avoid them. But seriously, why is there no code of conduct for vendors? I get asking people "hey, you wanna try this product?" But they have grabbed my boyfriend's sweater when he ignored them (he was wearing nice Nike shoes). And tried guilting him into getting his shoes cleaned.
Ask anyone. They will all say the same thing. Get. Rid. Of. Them.

Fox River Mall’s got the basics locked in—still chugging with 180+ stores, that huge 1.5 million sq ft space, and 16+ million visitors a year keeping the crowds coming. Macy’s, Scheels, Target, lululemon, Athleta, Pottery Barn… it’s not dead like a lot of malls, and the food court’s solid for hanging out.
But low-key, it’s straight-up a teen trap at this point. Packed with the same forever-21/Aerie/American Eagle/H&M/Victoria’s Secret energy that screams high school mall rats and impulse buys, but zero real elevation. No standalone Ralph Lauren (you might snag a polo buried in Macy’s if you’re lucky), no premium spots like a proper Gator or luxury vibe, and not having an Apple Store is gay—everyone’s just fumbling with carrier kiosks or driving elsewhere for real tech. Missing big hitters like Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Nordstrom, or even a solid Uniqlo/Sephora standalone upgrade beyond the basics. It’s convenient for quick grabs or teen hangouts, but if you’re looking for anything aspirational or grown-up brands, you’re out of luck. Huge potential with the traffic, but right now it’s just mid-tier mall life—step up the lineup and it’d actually be worth the hype.

I went to the mall to explore and found a food court. They have everything in this food court.I don't think i'm going to go out of my way to go to any other place than this.
