While many malls have been struggling across the country, one in the South Bay is actually thriving. Kiet Do reports. (5-6-22)

Valley fair is thriving because the management is excellent. Each store is carefully selected and they make sure they are ones that shoppers actually want to go to.

It's in the heart of Silicon Valley, across the street from Santana Row (Luxury outdoor mall), and demographic is mostly people unaffected by pandemic.

The addition of many different restaurants is what draws many people in. Many other malls just have the food court and maybe a cheesecake factory. But this mall's got a good mix of retail and restaurants.

As a San Bruno native, every time I walked into Tanforan I kept asking myself whoever’s running this mall do a better job by making sure the right stores and attractions were at the mall much like Vally Fair and a lesser extent Serramonte. Many mall managers are have gotten so complacent with how malls used to run that they need to think like the mall mangers from Valley Fair in how to attract customers away from the computer and give them something different that would make them want to go

Yes like charge the customers for parking that will bring them in in droves
@MsLouisVee2 жыл бұрын
I used to go to this mall all the time but since they started charging for parking I really stay away from it I just don’t like the idea of it. I don’t like the idea employees have to pay for parking either
@whereaboutsunknown38222 жыл бұрын
That's the worst part. That employers have to pay for it. They are the ones helping to bring money in. They should not be charged. Also yeah, I hate that we have to pay for parking in general. Just another reason why car-based society is stupid.

Because they know they’re not gonna make money off their tenants so they found another way to make money by charging for parking.

Terrible story. As a former merchant of the mall they have torn and destroyed hundred of dreams of small businesses with over promises. Under delivering traffic and one sides leases which most small business owners are unable to afford. I ended up settling in Small Claims when they didn't give me back my deposit. Crooks to say the least. That's why they are trying to dump their portfolio

Also that new parking payment prevents you from leaving the mall in a timely manner it’s like being stuck in a traffic jam while people try to pay with their credit cards through that machine and a whole lot of back up occurs.

2 hour free parking. $1 per hour after that. I think $10 is for a lost ticket. Main issue is that it is a pain to leave the parking garage because hundreds of cars have to go slowly through the exit gate.

It's hard to reproduce the commercial center of Silicon Valley anywhere else ... it also helps that crime wave has not reached here yet.
Perhaps mall princess Sue Newsom can pull some strings and get the section of Stevens Creek Bl in front of the mall repaved. The streets in Alviso have better pavement.
