Changes at Windward Mall

Could it be that I haven’t been to Windward Mall since the holiday shopping season of 2015? Wow, that’s a long time, and in that time, there have been several changes. Let’s take a look shall we?

While the food court has been blanketed in free WiFi for some time and Starbucks provides speedy Google WiFi service, now the entire mall is connected. I admit that I haven’t tried the mall’s WiFi since typically these are just oversaturated and bogged down.

I think this is a change, but the upstairs Aeropostle store is now a Factory Store, assumedly offering discounted, older lines.

Sadly the kids play area outside of Sports Authority (and the now closed Children’s Place) is rather sad.

Yes, it’s open, but without the islands to climb on, this open space isn’t so fun. But I do recall hearing that the play area is moving to another wing so maybe, this is just transitional during the relocation.

Jeans Warehouse is on the move.

Already moved are Journeys and Local Motion. Previously located on the ground floor near the mall’s center, these locations are now upstairs.

But then, if these two long-time tenants moved, what’s in their former locations? Take a look from upstairs.

Here’s a closer look.

Yup, the Secrets of Victoria will be gracing the Windward side residents in a sizable location starting the Spring of 2016.
