Review from Alexandria M.

Pretty good mall with pretty decent stores...around this time last year it opened a HUGE two story Forever 21 that's actually really nice and a little overwhelming! You have your standard stores like Dillards, JC Penney, and then you have nicer stores like Jessica McClintock. There's also a MAC counter which is nice. It's a good place to go if you wanna kill time.

I read the other comments about this mall. And everyone is about right. It's a good mall but outside of Forever 21 nothing really special. I would definitely recommend it over Regency. Being that I'm from south Florida, a lot of items being advertised in the shops and boutiques as *new or *just released are at least 3 months behind and overpriced. Though it was still great to go to the common Departments stores like JcPenny and Dillard and check out items that are no available locally through our home location. It still kept me and my friend busy for four hours shopping (mostly in Forever 21), eating, & walking around. Decent food court, but I wish there were more options then traditional mall pizza, burgers, subways, and Chinese.
I can't believe there's no MACY'S! -

Avenues Mall used to be the fancy, rich people's mall, until the St. John's Town Center came along and knocked the lights out of it and it's other competition, the Regency Mall. Unlike Regency Mall, which has declined in past years, Avenues found its savior in Forever21.
Forever21 recently took residence where the Parisian used to be. This is the largest F21 I have visited in the Southeast, and I can't believe it's in the Avenue's Mall. I mean seriously, it's using space alloted for a small department store. The F21 is f-ing huge; it's actually overwhelming. There's a kids' and men's department as well. I feel like the whole online store can be found here.
The Avenues Mall did a very smart thing by allowing this popular brand to rent its space. This will offset ( marginally) some competition from St. John's Town Center, which btw, also opened another phase, that also includes F21.

The Avenues has quickly become one of the best malls in Jacksonville. The St. Johns Town Center is for rich people so if you're a regular person like most people who live here, then the Avenues is for you.
It's gotten so much better over the years. Got rid of Parisian/Belk for Men and Kids and replaced it with an enormous Forever21. There's a great new accessories store named Charming Charlie's. Also added a lot of small boutiques.
The food court is great.. always clean. There IS a Chik-Fil-A (or however the hell you spell it). Also a place called Juan's that has DELICIOUS Mexican food.
Definitely my favorite mall. -

Avenues Mall is okay. It reminds me of the shopping malls of yore--the kind with carpeted walkways that smells of both cinnamon rolls and cleaning fluid. It's got a standard selection of stores and nothing too fancy. They've got the only Delia's in town, which is awesome if you're a teenage girl. They also have a Disney store, a Body Shop (the one that sells lotion, not the one that sells polyester catsuits), and a Sears. Like I said, it's pretty standard.
There are two sets of escalators. There's a food court with a Chick-fil-a. They've got cinnamon rolls, an ice cream stand, and pretzels.
One great thing about this mall: more parking than you need, ever. There's even a parking garage that pops out inside of Dillards. This means that even if it's raining, you can get your shop on while staying dry.
If you're looking for an upscale selection, go to the Town Center. If you're looking for a unique and interesting shopping experience, go to Regency. If you already hate your life, go to the Orange Park Mall. If you're on the Southside and you just feel like buyin' stuff, head to the Avenues. -

Carlos K has a criteria when judging malls. A 5 star mall must have the following stores: Old Navy, Chik Fil A, and a Cinnabon.
I fucking swear the last time I was in the 904, this mall had a Chik Fil A.
It also fails on the Old Navy front too.
The Avenues is clean and nice, but they should build more one more parking garage to handle the rush of crowds during the holiday season.
3 stars! -

I fully agree with Trey. Very average mall with nuthin' special. I only go here because my friend likes it. Not a fan of Sears, JC Penney, Dillards, Belk's or the Parisian. Even the Food Court is lackluster. They have a bunch of no name places. It is however, leap year's better than the Regency Mall to the North. That mall is a dinosaur that needs to go extinct.
St. John's has potential, but it needs some more department stores. Locals are hoping for a Macy's or Nordstrom's. -

When the Avenues Mall opened... this was a classy place. It brought with it a new road [9A didn't always go so far], lots of new stores, and a fancy new building. The entire mall has a skylight ceiling. Amazing! It was modern and shiny and new. It had more than the Gap and Express! It had a Parisians [which no one ever fully understood]! It was exciting!
Welllllll, when the St. John's Town Center opened, the Avenues stopped being so bright and shiny and new. While it is still a great mall, how can a skylight compare to a completely outdoor experience? [It does help in the rain, gotta say.] The Town Center has ever newer stores, even more expansion, and has catapulted Jacksonville into a whole new realm of shopping with the recently opened Louis Vuitton [mah gawd, we got ourselves a Low-is Vatt-ton].
Still! This is still a great mall. They have lots of great shops [Gap, Express, Anne Taylor, NY and Company, Delias, Vicky's, those kinds of things]. They are in-doors, which really is handy in bad weather, which tends to strike in Jacksonville on a regular basis. And it is still nice and shiny, just not new.
They also have an arcade. Inside the food court. Now that is something you can only get at an in-door mall. And that is priceless. -

Probably the best indoor mall in the Jacksonville area, The Avenues is pretty easy to get to, right off 95. It is way better than Regency or Orange Park Mall, but nowhere near St. Johns Towne Center as far as malls go. There were quite a few store closures here in the last few months, as the economy started to fall, I was surprised to see The Parisian gone, but the other main department stores are here, i.e. Sears, JCPenney, Belk, etc...
As long as it's not the holiday season, there are LOTS of parking spaces available, you'll be able to find a spot somewhere near where you'd like to shop. The mall is always clean, and I like the decor, nothing overly flashy, nothing boring, just an enjoyable area.
The food court isn't bad, but I believe the only major chain located there is sbarro's, but they have a few burger joints, chinese food, I believe a seafood place, and a few coffee houses. Not terrible, but they could definitely do better.
The rest of the mall does include a lot of the old classics - Foot Locker, Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie, Gap, so you'll definitely find SOMETHING in the mall, but they are missing a lot of good stores, most of which are located in the Towne Center. Overall, not a bad mall, I can always find something to buy there, but it isn't my first choice of shopping plazas in the area. -

We have shopped here when visiting Jax a handful of times over the years. Clean, attractive, and a wide variety of establishment. We rarely shop at indoor malls these days, but likely would if we lived nearby.

This to me is the better of the malls here. I hate regency. My main stores are Jc Penny and Sears. I hated Parisian. Dillard is my last choice

While this is my indoor mall of choice in the Jacksonville area, it's really nothing to write home about. It's two-stories, recently renovated (which makes it look really nice; I must say, Simon did a great job), and has Dillards, Sears, Belk, and J.C. Penney as anchors. Unfortunately, those anchors are indicative of the quality of the mall; there are no great, trendy stores there beyond your basic Limited Brands stores (Express, Limited, Victoria's, Bath & Body Works), Gap brand stores (Gap, Banana), Abercrombie, and American Eagle. Then you have your corner jewerly stores and cell phone cover kiosks. That's the end of it. Good for your run-of-the-mill shopping, but nothing really up-to-date (trendy). It's where you go on Wednesdays because you have nothing better to do. Your best bet is still the St. John's Town Center unless you're looking for high-end department stores, in which case you're relegated to Orlando. The Avenues is basically good for average, everyday purchases. Nothing special.
