4sqMOCOSeptember 5, 2011Opened on September 12, 1978, the four major department stores here are J.C. Penney, Lord & Taylor (Woodward & Lothrop "Woodies" went bankrupt in 1995), Macy's (previously named Hecht's), and Sears.
Sears, Macy's, Magic Health Plus for a good massage. Hakky shoe repair. Starbucks coffee. Lord & Tailor.
Parth AgarwalOctober 19, 2015Has almost all big stores. Nice big mall in the entire of gaithersburg and around. The nearest comparable mall is westfield mall which is quite far.
Eric SherrodJanuary 21, 2013It's a good mall been coming for years and never had a problem plus i heard that Westfield bought the mall so you no that means a lot of upgrades so this mall is on its way to a really good change
LovelyMegMarie .May 7, 2013Only has a few good stores & awesome restaurants. I'm glad they're closing everything & turning it into a apartment w/ retail. Unsure what the restaurants are going to do since they're successful.
Charla PayneDecember 17, 2015My daughter got her brand new, (same day) IPhone stollen here! Security followed the guy to the door and then did nothing- I should have just called the police!
Never park at the food court that's where the hoodlums chill. Always lock your door. Don't eat at nori Japan or Rita's, trust me. also they never clean the kids play place EVER
Kimberly C.June 29, 2013The usual stores but, on the second floor there is a great space to sit & see the whole mall.- Go to magic health plus for a massage, its the best. The first that opened in the states.
Lakeforest MallOctober 21, 2010If you forgot your stroller you can rent one for $5. You will see the rental units when you walk in thru the Yellow, Green, or Red entrances.
Chris ThiergartnerSeptember 30, 201250/50. Ok during the day, and avoid after 6. This place goes a little further downhill everyday. If the barber shop was not there, and I would avoid all together.
Karen HDecember 27, 2010You can watch your favorite music videos for free in the food court by texting in a code. Very cool :)
The free lights are gone. Figures! This whole place is lame, out dated and needs to be bull dozed and redevoped. Ring, ring Lakeforest, that's the 70s calling, they want their mall back!
angieSeptember 28, 2011Best Buy Mobile is opening next week inside the mall! $50 off any smart phone 10/5-10/9 excluding iphone- still have the people hanging out without shopping. A mall is for shopping not hanging out.
- Oh come on don't diss the mall I mean they have 1 good store H&M xD @lakeforestmall
THIS MALL SUCKS. the only time i go in here is to see my uncle and go to the barber shop upstairs with my significant other!
Not a bad mall, quite a few variety of shops. Eat at Red Robin late at night and wonder the mall while it's closed.
- This mall will never get better until they remove the ones that hang outside.
- I second that tip about night times. They never allow that at montgomery mall. Which is a better mall.
Hanh NJuly 8, 2011This mall has really gone downhill and coming here at night is just asking to be stabbed by gang members.
They claim that they give out free key chains but they don't. This is the 2nd time I've been told that they're out.
Kenya BenjaminNovember 8, 2010They upgraded, added an H&M and I found some bad ass pumps for sale in Macy's....
The bathroom on the lower level near Macy always smell horrible!
