I love this mall, I feel like we don't really have a lot of malls in RVA anymore. I am too far from shortpump but Chesterfield town center have most of the stores they have. The main places I go to is, carters, home goods/ TJ Maxx, JCPenneys, loft and Macys. The mall is always clean and lively no matter what time you go, which is great. I did notice that some of the doors weren't working which I think they should do something about. In case of an emergency that could be bad. Just saying. Overall good place to shop.

Can find anything I need here or in the immediate area at Target. We like to come simply to walk around. I will say there are way too many jewelry stores. They have a train in the mall I believe year round for kids which is nice. During the holidays vendors will sell items outside of the stores too. Parking here is way too wiser than up in short pump.

As I've gotten to know this mall and its design more I have to give it an upgrade from 3-stars, which is what it seems like upon a first few visits/by initial appearance, to 4-stars.
Undoubtedly the mall has some troubles - as the presence of some nooks and crannies of it that now feature empty storefronts indicate - but the stores that remain are surprisingly varied, changing, and sometimes quite delightful and interesting/unique. The mall is arranged in quite a complex fractal pattern and so an initial go-through may not reveal all the stores within the main complex let alone the various surrounding stores that aren't physically connected but right next to the primary facility.
I like the mix of "core" typical mall stores (Macy's, JCP, etc) with some "fresh" ones (Crunch Fitness, Barnes & Noble, etc). The food court also has a surprisingly strong variety of options and quality to it with your standard mall food but also some variations.
There are only two other malls in the RVA-area truly - Short Pump and Southpark - this place is definitely more upbeat and exciting than Southpark and also is more of a typical mall than Short Pump (which is more high-end but, for example, does not have a food court).Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Feb 7, 2020Previous reviewThe mall is 'meh' - it is definitely on the better side relatively as compared to other malls south of Richmond but the actual mall itself is a bit lacking in terms of amenities, stores, and overall atmosphere just like with many other small town malls. It does however have a slightly more upbeat feel to it as compared to other similarly styled malls, with some unique food stops and stores in it and feels still mildly active. It's definitely a lot smaller of a mall than you would initially think it would be for a place the size of Chesterfield County. Overall I'd say it's not great, it's not terrible, but is an ok mall supporting this part of the Richmond metropolitan area.

Stores, stores and more stores! This mall is in one of the busiest intersections in Chesterfield, at Courthouse & Midlothian and the largest enclosed mall in the Richmond area! Truth be told, I prefer a less hectic area to shop. But when I'm in the area, I can't resist popping in Ulta and Barnes & Noble! And in the spring, I'm happy to see the pink garden tent pop up, even though I have one closer to me, I have purchased several plants here! The parking is somewhat chaotic albeit plentiful, the driving lanes gets jammed on the weekends.
However, if you don't mind meandering thru crowds, and enjoy the hustle and bustle of shopping, you may enjoy the energy of this huge mall. It's packed with trendy retail stores, major department stores and diverse choices in restaurants, in addition to the food court. The food court could use some attention. Some of the kiosks scattered throughout the mall are a bit sketchy, so proceed with caution. There's a kids area which can be a blessing to parents needing a respite.
At some other malls, many retail stores have closed for various reasons, whether economic or coronavirus, but here you may find a sister store. With so many more people turning to online shopping, the future of this mall, and others in RVA, remain to be seen.
They are serious about safety during the COVID and I applaud their efforts!Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - Emmett J.Norcross, GA01Jan 4, 2023
My wife and I live in New Kent County. Our geographic location is in a sort of retail desert. To the east we have Williamsburg and its offerings of fine stores. It gets pretty congested in the summertime with the tourist trade and visitors. So, to the west it is year-round. Chesterfield Towne Center is our go-to place for major retailers. It's always very clean and has a "fun" vibe to it. In addition, it has many varietal restaurants and the location is in the midst of other popular area retailers. The layout of the mall makes sense to me. It's full day excursion for us and always an enjoyable shopping experience.

It's nothing pretty, but if you're looking to burn some time in the Midlothian area, this is a good wintertime option. I had about an hour and a half to kill, so I parked (easily found a space) and walked into the mall near Loft.
The mall is surprisingly spacious -- I wasn't expecting it to be so large -- with diverse stores. It's all indoors, which is nice when compared to Short Pump.
Anchors are currently Macy's, JCPenney, and Sears. There's a central food court with choices such as Nestle, Knockout, Chic Fil A, an Italian eatery, and a Hawaiian barbecue. Red Robin, Five Guys, and Jimmy
Johns are among the other restaurants available. Restrooms are clean. There's a kids' playing area as well.
It's not the closest mall to me, but I'd stop in again if I'm nearby and need to shop or would like a quick meal from a chain.Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Dionne F.Knoxville, TN1116103390Nov 8, 2019
When I use to live in WoodLake, I would take my oldest son Diamond to this mall every weekend.
The last time I visited this mall, I was so excited about all the amazing upgrades over the years.
This is truly one of the most beautiful shopping malls that I ever visited in my life time.
They have the best Santa workshop and holiday sales.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - EunSung K.Richmond, VA1913361604Jul 14, 2018
A medium sized mall, but I gave it high ratings because it has three things every parent needs on rainy days: a bookstore, indoor play area, and a food court. I've come here a few times with my daughter, first she was really little and now as a little person.
I think it has a nice selection of stores. The parking is not designed very well, especially areas where people have to cross over, so be careful walking through the parking lot, otherwise an excellent mall.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 324267288Jun 2, 2017
The layout is simple and the mall is clean and neat. I do occasionally like to come here to shop. It's the closest and very convenient for me. I like parking near the food court by Barnes and Noble because it's right in the middle of the mall and sometimes I like to grab a quick snack before my shopping run.
I remember coming here for as long as I remembered and there's been a few interior renovation, There are a lot stores that are closing that you won't find here are: Express, Body Central, Aperopostle(soon), from what I can remember. Don't be discard because there's been new shops added to Chesterfield mall such as: H&M, rue21, Cotton On and more that I probably forgot to mention.
Like any mall it does get packed on the weekend because not many people work or goes to school and like to hang around here. But during the weekdays, there's barely a crowd. It's a decent place to get shopping done.
Definitely worth a visit!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Stephanie,
Thank you! We'll be adding new tenants soon and thank you for the feedback! - Nov 21, 2015
If you haven't checked out the new Santa house for Christmas it is very impressive. My kids are getting older for wants but even they were impressed by the dreamworlds themed, had display Christmas house.
As for the mall. It's a staple of midlo. Not as many or as high end a stores as short pump and stoneypoint but a great mall for your daily needs. Also one of the few with a large food court still around.
Very clean and up to date mall.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
