According to Mrs. WRM20, it's the only shopping mall in Houston. Anything else is a strip center collection of thrift stores.

Maybe management is ok with kiosk attackers! After all they are paying rent.

I wasn't going to the mall very much any more and then I started going back to Memorial City. That is where I first encountered these pesky aggressive sales people. Then I went to Nordstrom in the Galleria and walked through the mall and had the same experience.

The other thing I noticed at the Galleria, is men standing around and watching the women walking by and making vulgar comments about their body. They had to comment about each female that passed by.

I had a lovely shopping experience, with gracious, personalized service, at Dillards in First Colony Mall recently. That may be because the store was nearly deserted, and also because I walked straight into Dillards and back out again without braving the peddlers in the mall concourse. The outdoor shopping concourse adjacent to the mall is much more pleasant, and perhaps the mall itself has suffered because of that. There are a lot of low-end cheap clothing stores inside the mall, which may be why some are saying First Colony Mall is declining, but there are still stores there with nice merchandise.

Willowbrook is my preferred mall - nice mall with nice stores, busy enough but not so crowded as to fight over parking spaces. Just right.

When it got really bad at baybrook, I contacted mall mgmt. it did seem to improve shortly after. They are still there but the aggressiveness is toned down a bit. I haven't been in awhile so it could have changed again. I shop online when I can.

This is the best way to go to the mall. Avoid the concourse as much as possible.

Strolling from one end of the mall to the other is a terrible way to shop.

Just ignore them and go about your day. You are not going to hurt their feelings if you don't acknowledge their hello or whatever they are peddling.
