I think malls are dying for a few reasons. First, everything in the mall is insanely over-priced. Secondly, you are made to feel like a criminal in every store (mirrors/cameras/security tags all over the place), and lastly, you can avoid it all by just shopping online or going to walmart.
Good riddence, I never enjoyed going to the mall...
I just went into this mall today; it was pathetic. I seriously felt as if I had travelled back into the 1990s, it is so outdated. Oak Park is definitely worth more time.
This mall has almost closed down too?! Heck, I still remember being a kid and one Saturday convincing my parents to take us all here, and then being just stunned at both how crowded and how much stuff was there. I only went that one time, so my only image of it is a gigantic well-crowded, cutting edge supermall...sad yet amazing all at once...
i'm 16 and lived in olathe all my life, i used to go to great mall all the time, but now in 2011, i refuse to go whatt-so-ever. oak park mall is where its at now!
@AnaHollywood95 Great Mall was never that "Great" anyway even 10 years ago it sucked. Oak Park mall is way too over rated. I would be very surprised to see Oak Park go down hill.
I remember how huge of deal it was when this mall opened, everyone always talked about it and just 13 years later it's almost completely dead. The 90s was good, and it's sad to look back on this mall in this condition.
i dont live in ks or o-town any more but for real...that mall was cool when trippin nuts but lame otherwise...plus its all the way off 151st and i35 i grew up a cpl blocks from north and given the choice its the same amount of time to battle olathe traffic as just to hit up oak park...i have a new found respect for olathe but that mall would be better suited as another hospital expansion..
@xmalibu88 Actually it has since it ever opened in the measely 13 years that it's been there which is nothing at all... 13 year for a mall but yet it has gone down in business revenues since 2000 ? very very sad.... so basically for the last 10 years this mall has really fucking sucked. I say that anyway cause it is a piece of shit garage designed mall and nothing but redneck Olathe trash that lives around there shops there, enough said.
@Archmetal06 dont ever say olathe trash again u ugly piece of shit, i wonder why no one is in those videos of yours stop filming kansas stuff you make the place sound boring the way you talk, go get give your mom a blowjob you stupid prick
@JTRandJBH hey how bout you fuckoff kid ? You think your little ignorant comment means shit to me ? I think not. I can film, give opinions on whatever subjects i want. Grow up you stupid piece of shit.
Must everyone trash this mall? I love this place! I would go there everyday and just walk around and buy popcorn... I'd still be going there if I hadn't moved away.
@Xtrmn8r123321 it seems like it's nothing but a bunch of outlet stores and junky stores. oak park is closer to me. i just don't have any need to go out to great mall.
@jbean3535 you obviously can't read comments correctly. Those kids commented on this video saying that. Can you read? It was not me in the store, i personally despise everything about that mall but someone wanted me to do a mall video of it like i have done other mall videos.
@Archmetal06 I happen to be the manager of Game Zone. If this is the guy who with his friend, decided to yell obscenities across the store causing parents and their children to leave the store, You may have been kicked out for a good reason. The man who kicked you out had the right to do so and gave you multiple warnings for at least a week.
I live Olathe long time. I been many time and not good food court and many changed since open the mall. I agree other comments. I have hear other peoples said mall should tear down due to poor mall ... Oak Park mall in Overland park. KS is more peoples.
It used to be big... Now half of the damn shops in the whole place are closed.

Just how many malls ARE there in the area, anyway? Seems like saturation killed this one more than anything else.

@oathme420 This mall has always been out of my way as well. I'm much closer to Oak Park. Since it is a failing mall, it might as well be torn down.

I just got kicked out yesterday because a worker at Game Zone had a bad day... Shows how sad this mall truly is...

@Xtrmn8r123321 ok wow that's not a legitimate reason to kick some one out. That worker should be fired for that.
