The Most Irrelevant and Useless Stores in the Palisades Mall

The Palisades Center Mall was an extremely popular attraction when it first opened in March of 1998. Twelve years later, it is still busy, with shoppers coming from all over the tri-state area. On weekends, it is nearly impossible to find a parking spot.

With four floors, it is the second largest mall in the country. A mall that massive must have a plethora of chic stores, right?

Sadly, the answer to this question is no. And so I have decided to take it upon myself to detail some of the very worst stores in The Palisades Center.

JESSICA MCLINTOCK is the first store that every eighth grader runs to when homecoming rolls around. The first dress you see is short, cute and frilly.

However, as you look around the store, each dress is a variation of the one before it. The first dress is hot pink with ruffles, going to mid-thigh. The second dress you see is in a lighter pink and a few inches shorter because every tween loves to show skin.

These dresses are inappropriately short and are made of polyester, which makes them look overly shiny and definitely results in extreme perspiration. Everywhere you turn you can see, ruffles, lace and dresses without straps that are cheap looking.

ROBOT GALAXY is yet another ridiculous store in the enormous mall. Whoever designed this store must have attempted to make the entire storefront look futuristic and appealing, but hardly anyone ever walks in there.

It makes sense though, when they're asking $60 for a toy robot that will surely break if a six-year-old boy plays roughly with it.

There are tons of different useless robots that just sit in Robot Galaxy and collect dust in the store because it always seems to be as vacant as a ghost town.

Overpriced and futile, this store is just taking up space. It is surprising that it has even survived this long.

There is also a store dedicated completely to LEGO. It is filled with the useless tiny bricks that can be transformed into little houses or people.

No matter how entertaining children find Lego's, there is no need to have a whole store just for these trinkets. Lego's are carried by larger toy stores, such as Toys ‘R Us.

BACK STAGE, a clothing store located on the fourth floor, is exactly where the cast of the "Jersey Shore" would have a field day. Jam packed with overpriced Ed Hardy attire and mesh clothes, this store is for people who dream of fist pumping with Snooki and the Situation.

The dresses are skimpy, the jeans are expensive, and literally every article of clothing is bejeweled.

Although some people wish they could live in Seaside, the majority prefers classier establishments to buy clothes from.

Even though the Palisades Center Mall is massive, the selection of stores is impractical. It's easy to walk around for a solid fifteen minutes before finding a store worthy of browsing through.
