Gulf View Square Mall

I used to love the mall years ago when they had a great selection of stores. Now the only thing I go in there for is Crown diamond jewelers and Best Buy

Honestly, there is nothing worth going to this mall for. It is close to empty with no food court, no department store, bare minimal stores

I see sears has been tore down and the new apartments are going in. They are going repave the parking lot very shortly. There is a lot of empty space in the mall right now but that will change with all the new apartments going in around it. I am planning on opening a new store as soon as the parking lot is done. This county is growing at a fast pace and there is construction going on all over the place. There is not any homes left around me and the price is 5 times greater than it was. They are building the biggest cancer research center in the country that will employ 150,000 people. They will have to build 5000 more apartments and 10 thousand new homes. If your planning on moving here expect to pay at least 250 k for a house. Good luck to all.

Sadly, this mall is nearly empty except for the anchor stores: Dillards, Sears, Best Buy, TJMaxx. There is an interesting crystal/rock shop called "Bodhi Tree".

My rating is based on the stores still alive at this mall! My Granddaughter & I shop at Claire's, eat at Starbucks, and find the best deals at Rue 21! The Food Court has limited choices with Charlie's Steaks, a couple of Asian food choices, and a great place where I got a tasty Gyro! There are a lot of shopping choices in the Port Richey area, mostly strip malls, but it's still a shame there are empty slots in this mall. It's been like this for a while. I wonder about it's strategies and life expectancy.

All right, so it's not the best mall in the Galaxy, but it is the only mall in West Pasco and for being that it's pretty damn good!

For anchor stores there is Best Buy, Sears and Dillard's. Other stores of the notable interests are Hot Topic, Rue 21, Finish Line and Hickory Farms. That's right, HICKORY FARMS.

There is a small, but effective food court that has all the mall snack favorites like Villa Pizza, Subway and Charlie's Cheesesteaks, plus a few indie eateries like Pita 2, which serves up Mediterranean grub.

The size of the mall is what one would expect from one that was developed in the late 70s, especially considering the size the of the THEN population out that way. I found it just big enough to make my dogs scream, but not so big that I could get lost for hours.

The mall recently sold for $15 mil, so I'm excited about what's on the horizon.

After such a delightful lunch, we needed to go someplace to walk it all off. Since we were going to be in NPR, I suggested we go to the Mall.

I used live in NPR, and I was in the city when it was built. It has fallen -so far- down the rabbit hole from what it used to be in it's prime. Gone are stores that used to be stellar (Jc Penneys, Maas Brothers, Burdines) and now you have stores that I just don't even understand (On Point fashion, Dollar Town, Rue 21)

I miss the book store, I miss Sabaros, I'm glad that there are stores like the comic book store down near Dillards, and that there's now an Ulta, because that Ulta is fantastic. But it makes me sad to see that the mall is barely surviving. It's holding on by it's fingertips and someone seems to be stomping on them.

The mall is dying but I did find a cool comic book store near Dillards, so many others ones are closing down, it's like walking through a ghost town, I wonder how long this mall will survive? There are only 2 places left up in the food court. Sigh...

Wow, what can I say about this mall... RIP! This is truly a "dead Mall"
I decided to hang out at this mall to kill some time while waiting for an appointment. I for one, love to explore dead malls, and this was a decent one.


here are some things I noticed:

- the mall doesn't have the ac on very high. It was probably about 85* inside.
- the mall is VERY outdated, dark, plain.
- cracked ceilings complete with water stains!
- the food court is awful, there's only two chains subway and Auntie Annie pretzels. Then there's a Chinese restaurant, pita 2?? and some Italian place.
- there is mold in the skylight and ceiling of the food court
-all the stores are very outdated and everyone looks miserable.
- some of the empty storefronts have been trashed ex. The store next to Best Buy.
-there are a bunch of junk shops in here. It looks like a hoarder was forced to have a lawn sale!
-about 60% of the mall is vacant.

Honestly, I don't think this mall can be revived, it seems as if the whole area is dying out. Ex. The shopping plaza next door that used to House Toys R Us, staples, circuit city, etc, are now just falling apart and left to be vandalized.

So, 1 Star for me when it comes to the actual quality of shopping at the mall.
Save yourself a trip here and just go to the Westfield Countryside in Clearwater!

This mall kind of bummed me out. Like you know you are walking into something that used to be a *thing* but isn't a thing any more. But judging by comments on here, it's been going down for a long time, so I'm partially impressed it is still riding down and isn't dead.

If you got kids, it's a good place to entertain them. There's now a little boat ride, there's a bungee thing, and there are those motorized animal things. And I like having Best Buy and TJ Maxx in a mall. The food court is decent plus it has Harold Seltzer's for a little fancier fare. And there are a lot of weird stores I've never heard of that are kind of cool to look around. There are just a lot of empty stores as well that make things seem a little sad. There isn't another mall that's very close so I'm surprised this doesn't draw more options.

So a bit of a downer and you can do a LOT better but it's got it's old remains of charm left.
