One of the best malls remaining in the country, we.re certain. We were blown away by the size, selection of stores, cleanliness and energy of this mall. We are from Omaha, Neb., where the rinky dink shopping options and failed malls are very sad. We ventured over on a trip to Costco in Pharr and were so impressed. Good for McAllen, the Valley and neighbors in Mexico for supporting this great experience. It was nice to be out for a few hours in this pandemic to such a vibrant, lively setting. Virtually no empty storefronts — unheard of these days in malls.
