I moved here in June and avoided this mall based on the reviews. So sorry I did this. YES its not the International Mall in Tampa or even the Countryside Mall in Clearwater. Give it a chance. If you dont shop here the big stores you want to see will look at the revenue this mall makes and decide not to show up. No one is going to put a business in a poor traffic area. First of all its CLEAN!! This mall was immaculate. Everywhere.The floors sparkled and no trash anywhere. Plenty of seating for those who dont want to shop just people watch. I see there are a lot of empty stores but it takes time and the ones that are there, very clean, great customer service. They all want your business and they are very helpful. This mall had everything I needed without all the excessive glitz of people hawking me as I walked by.Lets face it, if those Dead Sea products really worked, no one would be walking around with a face that looks like a deflated balloon. So even if there are Mom and Pop stores, I didnt see all that many, shouldnt we support our neighbors?? They are trying to make a living too. If you want glitz and drama then go to Orlando. This is a great Mall trying to make a go of it and I will support them all the way. Dont pass it up. Especially the movie theater. What a great place to watch a movie!!

this poor mall used to be THE place to go...it was run down and almost out of business- then this VIA port came in...they did a few improvements...but not much...the clothing section inside the Sears store is small...VERY small, there was a decent sized tool/appliance area..there is a Rainbow, a couple of named brand jewelry dealers, a books a million, a dollar store and a store that (at the moment 10/24/2016) had a Halloween costume store...THERE WAS NO AIR CONDITIONING...LITERALLY...they had fans on trying to cool it off...I cant even get it a D for effort, because that Halloween store used to be a JC Penny, and the store was always hot then...WE ARE IN FLORIDA! PEOPLE LEAVE THEIR HOUSE TO GO TO A/C! LOL the food court is decent and they have a movie theater... I wont go back

Its hard for me to call this a "mall." I hear this place has some history, but in reality I think this place is one step away from being history. I go for the AMC movie theatre, and thats about it. Im pretty sure there are only 4-5 name-brand store, the rest are mom-and-pop store fronts. Its too bad most of them have no foot traffic. Its confusing to see signs throughout the "mall" showing pictures of other Via/Port malls around the world and how fabulous they are, exotic tourist locations and their fine line of stores. But this one is literally 5-feet in the grave and really show its age, and I have no clue how old it is. Too bad, i think its in the right spot and the only thing resembling a mall thats not in the touristy part of town.

I heard about the new arcade bowling alley wing in the mall. We were excited to go play some games hearing it was similar to Dave n Busters. The games were great for the family. What I was looking forward to was having a alcohol drink with the wife and here is where it took a turn. I ordered a Captain and coke. She literally did a quick turn of the bottle and the rest was coke...I have been in this business for many years and she didnt even put a 1/4 ounce in the glass. $6 and I thanked her with no response. Without telling my wife what just happened I let my wife taste it and she said it tasted like all coke. I normally get this treatment from the young hipster generation but this lady was the oldest of the staff. Ripoff!

Its trying to get better. New owners have taken over after previous owners have done nothing but watch this mall go downhill over the years. Some small shops have opened up and a fountain is being built as a centerpiece in the middle of the mall. They had the floor torn up for repairs in the food court and the new owners are making cosmetic changes throughout the mall. It still needs more shops and some major anchors as JC Penney and Target have shut down leaving Sears and Belk. Something major is needed to replace the two empty anchor spots. Last few Sundays Ive been with family I noticed more traffic in the mall so hopefully better days will be coming for this small town mall.

This Mall NEEDS stores!!!!! Great Job with renovating the place but there is absolutely NOTHING in there! Via Properties should really take a look at what the public needs/wants, instead of having a Prom store (which is only busy twice out of the whole year), how about having kids stores like The Childrens Place, Justice and Aeropostal. Stores like Spencers, Hot Topic, Yankee Candle and Victorias Secret. You have Empty lots, fill them with great stores to make the Via Port shopping experience better. I guess Lake County will just have to continue to drive a little further for their shopping.

It is much better than it was when it was Lake Square Mall, but it still lacks some of what the owners said they would do. That being said, they have transformed it still into something people actually go to. Before they gained possession of it only about 5 peoppe would be in the food court at lunch time. I just went today and almost all of the seats were full. They also have plans to add more, which I believe they do, but it is more delayed than everyone expected. I have lived 4 minutes away from this mall since I was born, so I am happy to be able to go there and be happy with the results.

Never seen the sherrifs office in the local mall before, added bonus! Very clean and friendly. The businesses open at about 10 am but we got there early and the mall building had been open already. It was 8 am and flooded with power walkers and senior citizens lounging on all the benches. They super friendly and all waved as we passed. The food court has a childs play area where my two year old was able to romp around with other toddlers. Later we returned to the AMC theater in the mall to see the Assassins Creed movie after we had convinced grandma to watch the kid. We had a blast here!
