A food court with that fireplace and the wooden ceiling architecture just looks so inviting and comforting to me. Kind of reminds me of being in a log cabin on a cold winter night with a fire going to keep you warm...except with stores and empty buildings around you.
This mall looks like the most comfortable mall to shop at. So warm and inviting, not like some of the white, clean cut malls that used to look like this where I am from. Where I live now, we have a population of about 47,000 and would love a mall with all of those stores that were in this mall, before it became dead. That way, we wouldn't have to travel an hour an a half out of town for decent shopping. Our big mall has slowly become dead since Sears went under. Even worse because of covid because 3 more stores have left and the food court isn't open.
I live in the Prescott area and it's not a dead mall. They got someone new to own it and they put new stores in there and places to eat in the food court. It's a thriving mall.. They also do events there as well.
I love the fireplace in the food court. That's not something you see everyday! P.S. I went Goodwill hopping recently and found some cool stuff, including the "Donkey Konga' bongos for $4!
Incidentally, I went home that evening and ordered "Donkey Konga" and "Donkey Kong Rhythm Beat" from a Goodwill via Amazon. I just can't escape the Goodwill!
I watched this last night and this morning I have a sponsored ad on IG for a lava lamp at Spencer’s Gifts with an Illuminati eye on it. I’m not even joking.
Wow this video brought back so many memories. It’s crazy thinking about how I spent so much of my child/teenager time growing up in this mall, getting my nails done at that Charlie’s place with my mom, going to Barnes n noble to read books when it was still around, my first boyfriend working at what used to be the skate shop, working in the back storage room of journeys, begging my parents for an orange julius from the food court, etc. Even though it never really thrived, sometimes it /was/ busy but it always was a place I loved going. It’s sad to see it now, I haven’t been back in years.
I grew up in Prescott and remember this place opening in 02' when I was 10. Just went back to Prescott for the first time in 10 years last week and couldn't believe the way it looked, definitely sad I had a lot of good memories from this place as well.
Hey I live in Prescott. I remember going to that mall when it first opened. My school was part of the opening ceremony. So many businesses have come and gone. Also I don’t know if you know but it’s pronounced Preskitt. Don’t let anyone up here hear you say preSCOTT.
It had been conceived in the 1980's and long delayed, partly due to the large number of citizens who thought it was a bad idea to remove the top of Bullwhacker Hill in order to situate it. I'd rather have the hill.
It's kind of to be expected to have the indoor part of the complex to be nearly vacant, but the outdoor shopping/big box area isn't that occupied either. As of today, there are only 3 vendors in the food court. That said, you mentioned Prescott is only around 40,000 population, but if you factor in Prescott Valley (45k), Chino Valley (12k), Dewey Humbolt (5K), and Williamson Valley (5k), you have over 100,000 in the vicinity, which is enough to support a mall of this size, but obviously isn't working out that way. Flagstaff mall is doing well by comparison, but has slightly less population in the area.
Ah man I used to go to this mall all the time when I lived in Prescott, it sucks to see it like this. You were correct, the Hickory Farms did used to be Industrial Rides, then the store in the next shot used to be a pretty large Hallmark store. The Chai's Thai used to be a Villa Pizza and the Lebonita Pizza (which looks like it's on the way out too) used to be the Sonic where I went to every time I visited this place. Also weirdly enough the Verizon store in the background at 8:31 used to be a Wetzel's Pretzels of all things. Last time I was there the Barnes and Noble across from the Spencer's got turned into a mini golf course, was that still around?
Growing up in the verde valley I can honestly say that this mall died the second they closed Barnes and noble/starbucks... So sad since I grew up here... rip
I was hoping you would come up and film here! Must have missed you, I work most Saturdays and would have been cool to see you film. The arcades are pretty cool, even though I work in the mall, I definitely don’t shop in the mall, it is dead. Anchor stores are actually busy right now but the rest of the mall, not so much.
Retail Archaeology by the way, those Wu-Tang and Red Hot Chilli Pepper t-shirts are trendy right now, 90s artist t-shirts are huge trend in Fashion, lol. Just a FYI.
Our mall will be losing the Children's Place as of this October, for reasons unknown to my friend who works there. She says that the store is one of the busier ones for sales. Makes no sense.
the Christmas shop was cute. I liked the green flashing ornaments too, as well as the snowmen display. It is sad that Sears didn't have any customers, especially during a busy time of year such as Christmas.
I like the ceilings too! That's not a bad looking mall. It's too bad what happened to them, but we did it, ya know. We traded it for Amazon, Walmart and the like. We chose convenience and price for the experience of gathering together and enjoying the hunt. I worked in malls years ago. I started at Merry-Go-Round at minimum wage and years later was the manager of a jewelry store making about $100K per year. The workers there jump from one job to the next under the same roof and it's kinda convenient when you think about it. While I was tired of it over time, I did like seeing new people all the time and how cool it was to get just about anything you wanted for lunch. Of course if you needed anything, you just picked it up on your way out. For shoppers, it was an experience that could last half the day, unlike sitting around staring at a screen. for some, it was a group event. And if they had a movie theatre, it was an all-day affair. Not only that, but when you bought something, you brought it home with you, or if you wanted to, you could just wear it out of the store. But you can't entertain a generation when you don't belong to it. Old executives making old decisions about old malls isn't a good match, especially when the odds aren't in your favor. We could bring them back, but it would take innovative design with updated technology to make it work, and that's probably not going to happen. Great video as usual and very pleasant to listen to you.
About my previous comment about the Music, I find that the music is the perfect type to just lounge about, maybe catch a bit of shut eye, and listen to.
There used to be Hickory Farms STORES in malls. You could get free samples of summer sausage and cheese in them! By the time I was an adult, they closed the one in my mall, and went to pop-up stores in the malls. They must have been losing a fortune in samples...
And @12:07 it was a Pac-Sun/Volcom Calabera store, selling mostly skate gear and such, it along side the old Navy really showed how diverse the culture of my childhood was, we had skaters right near the jocks and preps
Just watched the most recent video of Prescott Gateway Mall and what a difference, much more lively and the Sears is still there. And you're right about that ceiling, its so beautiful, but the floor is awful lol
Fun fact, Games People Play; was a store originally that was a hole in the wall in Prescott Valley, they decided to move their business to the mall for a lot of reasons :) this makes me so sad because I remember how that mall was in it's heyday
Well we all should start going and it won't be dead anymore, .......I'm Sad these places are going down,before the internet and high gas things was great
From a few of the comments below, it sounds like this mall is doing rather well today. I know Prescott (“press-kit”) is quite a hike from the valley, but it’d be nice to see an update sometime. As a kid in the 70’s I knew the old Ponderosa Plaza Mall (precursor to Gateway Mall; off Iron Springs Road) before it was even an enclosed mall! Sears and later JC Penney were there...Fond memories of snow flurries outside the windows of the ice cream shop and Hallmark (before those window-fronts became the mall-side entrances). Great times!
I did an update video in September of 2020 and things were looking worse then. I haven't been back to Prescott since then though. th-cam.com/video/00BM__GpQxo/w-d-xo.html
My first jobs back in high school were in this mall (pier 1 imports and Journey’s shoe store). Pier 1 stayed fairly busy with mostly older women and journey’s sales always seemed really slow and I wondered how they stayed open. It’s been dying ever since I moved to Prescott back in 2006.
The Gamestop's near me while doing all right presumably, are the size of a large bedroom with barely space to turn around before bumping into a endcap or display. I see Gamestop's like this one in other locations that seem to have spacious stores.
It's revived since with about 25 new stores but the ownership now is having trouble paying the electric bill and the Sears went out of business a week ago
When I lived there during college I was always incessantly reminded that the name of the town is pronounced Press-kit, even though as a non native 99.9999999% of America would pronounce it Press Scott. On topic, the town was always billed as one of the top retirement communities in America, not the best demographic to count on. Prescott has a large amount of addiction centers. I guess shopping is not on their minds. Average household income is only 35K so its no wonder the busiest place in town is Walmart. This mall was clearly built for a shopper that Prescott does not have in huge numbers
Nice mall. Check back a few years in it's history and you'll find the likely reasons for it's struggle are rooted in false starts to get a commuter rail line from Phx to Tucson and eventually to Prescott (Mentioned in the AZ Rail Plan circa 2011). Not to mention misreading the demographics of Prescott which have always trended older. It's more a Home Depot and Walmart kind of town than Sears or Dillard's. That and Prescott has very strict land development regulations to curb the kind of sprawl you see in Phoenix and Tucson. It's a case of making a bad bet on what the state is going to do. After 2008 a lot of plans got shelved and this mall is likely a victim.
Also noticed a Claire's store....another mall standard. One of those Wall St. Journal 'lists' claims the iconic ear piercing mecca is having its share of financial difficulty and may not survive another year. That would be too bad.
At 15 years old this mall isn't very old. This mall is smaller than my local mall which also a single level and doing well. If Sears closes that would hurt this mall and I don't know what they would replace it with. A mall can't survive without the population to support it.
Thinking about it more. I'm curious what shape Flagstaff mall is in. Was built in 1979 and has a younger demographic due to the NAU. Yeah, it's a college town like Boulder but like Prescott also a tourist destination. With younger people turning away from traditional malls i'd expect Flagstaff mall to be less busy than it used to be.
Christmas decorations in a dead mall?

Prescott as a whole had that kind of comfy homey feeling. Thanks for watching!

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I find that the music you're using to be soothing and makes me feel comfortable while watching these videos.
That is a fairly young mall too. Compared to a lot of other dead malls that date back to the 80s and before.
Spencer's Gifts will only leave a mall kicking and screaming.
Guitar Anthony agreed
Time to revisit this one, it’s totally revamped and no longer dying!
I live in the Prescott area and it's not a dead mall. They got someone new to own it and they put new stores in there and places to eat in the food court. It's a thriving mall.. They also do events there as well.
So glad to hear!
I have yet to see a dead mall with a LEGO store. Coincidence? I think not!
I didn't even know this mall existed! This video brought a smile to my face, thank you for continuing to provide such great content.
I love the fireplace in the food court. That's not something you see everyday!
P.S. I went Goodwill hopping recently and found some cool stuff, including the "Donkey Konga' bongos for $4!
Nice Find! All of the games that work with those are pretty fun. Thanks for watching!
Incidentally, I went home that evening and ordered "Donkey Konga" and "Donkey Kong Rhythm Beat" from a Goodwill via Amazon. I just can't escape the Goodwill!
Merry Christmas!!
R.I.P. Bea Arthur. So great to hear her sing again.
I loved Prescott Gateway Mall when if first opened. It was so small and cozy.
I watched this last night and this morning I have a sponsored ad on IG for a lava lamp at Spencer’s Gifts with an Illuminati eye on it. I’m not even joking.
Ooh it’s October 2019 and it’s bad 😂 that Christmas store was nice. Hope it’s still around. Thanks💕🇺🇸.
Wow this video brought back so many memories. It’s crazy thinking about how I spent so much of my child/teenager time growing up in this mall, getting my nails done at that Charlie’s place with my mom, going to Barnes n noble to read books when it was still around, my first boyfriend working at what used to be the skate shop, working in the back storage room of journeys, begging my parents for an orange julius from the food court, etc. Even though it never really thrived, sometimes it /was/ busy but it always was a place I loved going.

I was waiting for a channel to review my towns dead mall so happy that you did!
Hey I live in Prescott. I remember going to that mall when it first opened. My school was part of the opening ceremony. So many businesses have come and gone.
Also I don’t know if you know but it’s pronounced Preskitt. Don’t let anyone up here hear you say preSCOTT.
I am also a sucker for Christmas lights and stores lol, thanks for sharing this video!
Absolutely love the inclusion of Bea Arthur's song from the STAR WARS Holiday special! You have great taste sir!
It's amazing they decided to build a mall ion this century. Most malls had been feeling the pressure from online shopping and Wal-Mart.
It had been conceived in the 1980's and long delayed, partly due to the large number of citizens who thought it was a bad idea to remove the top of Bullwhacker Hill in order to situate it. I'd rather have the hill.
It's kind of to be expected to have the indoor part of the complex to be nearly vacant, but the outdoor shopping/big box area isn't that occupied either.

Flagstaff mall is doing well by comparison, but has slightly less population in the area.

Found your site through Clint's mail stuff at LGR. Loving the dead malls and stores vids. Look forward to going through them all. Plus the thrifts!
+Daehawk I'm glad you're enjoying my stuff. I love LGR, it's one of my favorite channels 😁 Thanks for watching!
Reminds me of a fairly recently opened dying mall here in San Diego - Otay Ranch Mall in Chula Vista.
Love the intro. Thanks for the Christmas special.

Bea Arthur? A very Happy Life Day to you! :D
I thought all the locals called it "Pres-ket", Arizona.
That's a gorgeous mall!
I met Rose Mofford, she visited Red Mountain High.
“The 90s stuck around for a few more years” lol I would love to see an update
Yay, Bea Aurthur from the Star Wars Holiday Special 😉
Your best Dead Mall video yet! What a shame such an attractive mall will die.
OneWayStreet Shooter I really hope that whatever they do with this building they preserve those ceilings. They're absolutely beautiful.
Retail Archaeology by the way, those Wu-Tang and Red Hot Chilli Pepper t-shirts are trendy right now, 90s artist t-shirts are huge trend in Fashion, lol. Just a FYI.
You the man! Have a Merry Christmas!
904 CZV Merry Christmas to you too!
Nothing like a low budget Star Wars special to make you say "Merry Christmas!"
I remember when this mall had Footlocker, The Children's Place, Achor Blue, Sonic, Hallmark and Pacsun.
Our mall will be losing the Children's Place as of this October, for reasons unknown to my friend who works there. She says that the store is one of the busier ones for sales. Makes no sense.
Bea Arthur!!! I laughed so hard. But a dead mall at Christmas, so freaking depressing.
the Christmas shop was cute. I liked the green flashing ornaments too, as well as the snowmen display.
It is sad that Sears didn't have any customers, especially during a busy time of year such as Christmas.
Yes...I remember when Sears was chock-a-block PACKED before Christmas...all the extra staff and extra cash areas.....so sad.
I like the ceilings too! That's not a bad looking mall. It's too bad what happened to them, but we did it, ya know. We traded it for Amazon, Walmart and the like.

I just have to tell you, when you said 'Bea Arthur,' I had to pause the video because I laughed SO HARD. LMAO, thank you!
That Christmas shop was awesome.
+Crow Migration yeah it was really hard not to buy a bunch of stuff from there, LOL
Great video. Thanks. I loved the interior architecture of this mall. Hope it does not shut down.
About my previous comment about the Music, I find that the music is the perfect type to just lounge about, maybe catch a bit of shut eye, and listen to.
Great intro. Just have to wish you a Merry Xmas RA and we'll be watching in the New Year.
This place looks great, the atmosphere is nice. Sucks it's dying, I'd definitely shop there if I lived near by
Wow this mall is pretty young 15 years old and is already dead!
Right? I am surprised that they even ventured to build a mall like this after 2000!
That mall looks so comfy.
There used to be Hickory Farms STORES in malls. You could get free samples of summer sausage and cheese in them! By the time I was an adult, they closed the one in my mall, and went to pop-up stores in the malls. They must have been losing a fortune in samples...
Those pinball machines are super cool.
And @12:07 it was a Pac-Sun/Volcom Calabera store, selling mostly skate gear and such, it along side the old Navy really showed how diverse the culture of my childhood was, we had skaters right near the jocks and preps
Made good on the promise of Bea Arthur! Classic and awesome! 👌👍👍
It’s my birthday today! I’m glad I️ can start off my day with a dead mall treat 👍🏻
Miyo R happy birthday! I hope you have a rad day 😁
That was a brightly lit Spencer Gift store. Ours is dark inside and it seems fitting for the type merchandise they sell.
Just watched the most recent video of Prescott Gateway Mall and what a difference, much more lively and the Sears is still there. And you're right about that ceiling, its so beautiful, but the floor is awful lol
Crazy, I went to that place when I was over in the US, it was busy back then.
Merry Christmas! I kinda want to see the episode on GameStop my sons favorite store.
I’ve worked at this mall for years. Its sad. I can’t believe you were here
Yay, Bea Aurthur from the Star Wars Holiday Special! 😉
GeekFilter I thought people might enjoy that ☺
My local mall has a big fireplace in the middle of the mall near the food court and there is a thing filled with water you put coins in
What a shame, I like this building... HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you !
Fun fact, Games People Play; was a store originally that was a hole in the wall in Prescott Valley, they decided to move their business to the mall for a lot of reasons :) this makes me so sad because I remember how that mall was in it's heyday
Well we all should start going and it won't be dead anymore, .......I'm Sad these places are going down,before the internet and high gas things was great

That Spencer isn't the new logo, that's an old logo, used in some locations.

when your mall makes a miraculous recovery despite having a church move in mine did
Was there 13 years ago and it's the same with many malls across America...
Why is this newer mall already failing? Thanks for sharing this, I always look forward to your mall videos. Keep up the good work.
Really like the intro
Erinn Shannon thank you! I was worried people wouldn't get it.
It's revived since with about 25 new stores but the ownership now is having trouble paying the electric bill and the Sears went out of business a week ago
Its actually pretty beautiful inside
Christmas special!!! Love it
Cool :) Merry Christmas :)
Michael Coffey Merry Christmas!
I remember going to the mall and to gamestop and it would be so crowded you could hardly walk through
What's the scoop on the AARP place next to Sears? They have stores now?? Never have seen one before.
Popsockets are for phones you put it at the back of the phone to hold it or take a selfie
When I lived there during college I was always incessantly reminded that the name of the town is pronounced Press-kit, even though as a non native 99.9999999% of America would pronounce it Press Scott. On topic, the town was always billed as one of the top retirement communities in America, not the best demographic to count on. Prescott has a large amount of addiction centers. I guess shopping is not on their minds. Average household income is only 35K so its no wonder the busiest place in town is Walmart. This mall was clearly built for a shopper that Prescott does not have in huge numbers
4:40, ah the Sense of Right Alliance's expanded cinematic universe. It's got Wonder Woman, Dracula, Elvis... a-a Mater from Cars. Ohhhh nooooo....
Metrocenter still decorated this year. Food court lost Maya Mexican Food and the pota restaurant
At least they have Wildflower Bread Company!
2017 was the year I got to meet you not ones but twice
Only reason that Sears is still open is because it's in the middle of nowhere, Sears has done good business in rural areas with less competition.
+Clay3613 I don't know how much longer it's going to stay open because it was pretty much a ghost town on a Saturday afternoon in December.
Retail Archaeology another thing too is that there are 3 Walmart stores, all within 15 mins or so of this mall
Nice mall. Check back a few years in it's history and you'll find the likely reasons for it's struggle are rooted in false starts to get a commuter rail line from Phx to Tucson and eventually to Prescott (Mentioned in the AZ Rail Plan circa 2011).

Mall looks like it was designed for Christmas decorations
Love the bizarre Bea Arthur Star Wars clip.
Also noticed a Claire's store....another mall standard. One of those Wall St. Journal 'lists' claims the iconic ear piercing mecca is having its share of financial difficulty and may not survive another year. That would be too bad.
Merry Christmas!
The mall maybe dead but, the spirit of Christmas isn’t!
Nice job!
At 15 years old this mall isn't very old. This mall is smaller than my local mall which also a single level and doing well. If Sears closes that would hurt this mall and I don't know what they would replace it with. A mall can't survive without the population to support it.
BTW, whenever I think of Star Wars, I think of Bea Arthur.
and I thought I was the only one.

With younger people turning away from traditional malls i'd expect Flagstaff mall to be less busy than it used to be.
Digital Dynamic They took out American Eagle and Hollister a few years back.
well the arcade certainly had potential... wonder why so many of the other ones were off I hope that 'overstock' theory was correct!
If you like pinball I recommend the pinball hall of fame in Vegas theres at least 50 of them
7:44 is that a lava lamp bong on the right? haha
