Eastridge Mall - Gastonia

Interesting mall in a limbo. Most spaces were occupied by businesses but were closed due to unusual hours. Many antique stores and athleticwear/streetwear stores. Outdated but If the owners did a major renovation this place would thrive again.

0 stars. Just disgusting. Roaches on the bathroom stall walls. Can't even say it's been cleaned because there are layers of dirt surrounding each stall. Eastridge Mall continues to go downhill each year. It's in serious need of some deep cleaning and updating. Maybe then foot traffic would pick up and stores would stay. I honestly feel if it weren't for Belk, Shoe dept., the DMV tag office, and maybe the food court...this mall would cease to exist. I hope one day it can be as great as it used to be, but until then, could you please do the bare minimum and clean the bathrooms?

I came here when I was younger, and I had a lot of good memories shopping here with my mom and dad and going into the different stores, getting pretzels, and the play area. Coming back now just makes me so depressed, half of the mall is empty, things look so decrepit and broken, and its been like that for the past few years. Yesterday I saw some teenagers bolting out of one of the stores with the alarm going off and I hope they were caught, but I doubt it. Only good things here are the spencer's, and the antique shops. I really really hope that this place can get bought or renovated or at least put out of its misery. It used to be a very happy place that brought me lots of memories and now it's just an abandoned shell that I feel unsafe to even walk through.

Yikes, steer clear of this soon-to-be abandoned place! Looks like it hit its stride in ‘92 and has been a painfully slow decline since then. I thought my son would enjoy to playground, only to find it was “closed for maintenance”. That was probably a good thing because I got some very creepy vibes from the older men lurking around the children’s play area. I will not be going back.

This mall has certainly seen better days, however it still holds onto a few stores shoppers might need. There is a small, but noticeable amount of decay in the mall though, and an entire closed third floor that is eerily sitting, not accessible to patrons.
