  One of the best malls within a small City that I've seen in a while not as big as the other huge City malls but decent.

  Came here to pay a phone bill so I could keep working my job, and pay my other bills... came outside to find out my car was towed. On top of it all, apparently the mall just lets a tow truck that uses AI scanners tow vehicles.. If you are struggling to make ends meet, and need to pay your phone bill, don't go to the mall, go to a different location. As much as I like this location because it's closer to where I live, it's no longer worth the risk of being towed.

  I live 1 and1/2 hours away and haven't been the fox rivers mall in a couple of years. It was not the hustling place I remembered, lots of closed and going out if business stores.

  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. No free Wi-Fi unless you’re at Target.
