Crabtree Valley Mall

  • Not the largest, but the best mall in North Carolina in my opinion!! Complete with a PF Changs, Barnes and Noble, and several other specialty shops.

    There are plenty of malls in the Triangle area. Here's a fairly comprehensive list:

    Crabtree Valley Mall, an indoor mall and probably the biggest in Greater Raleigh.
    The traffic in, out and around this mall is the worst Located at 4325 Glenwood Ave

    Crossroads Mall, this is an outdoor strip mall type place and spans several square miles. Loads of stores like Best Buy and Marshall's as well as other specialty stores. Also a movie theater. Awful Traffic and weird traffic patterns in and out of the place. Crossroads Blvd. Off of Hwy 1/64 in Cary.

    South Hills Right next to Crossroads Mall at 1201 Buck Jones Rd. in Cary, not nearly as big as Crossroads and older.

    North Hills, newly renovated, has a Target, a movie theater, a total wine and more and various other stores. Traffic in and out is not that bad and there's a huge parking deck. Located on Six Forks Rd. in Raleigh just off the I-440 Beltline.

    Cary Towne Center is located in Cary (obviously), a huge indoor mall with all manner of department stores and several outlying stores close by such as a Barnes and Nobles, Several Restaurants close by and a pretty extensive food court. Located on Cary Town Blvd. easily accesed from I-40.

    There was this amazingly cool Tibetan Buddhist shop that I wandered into with a friend the other day. I had never even noticed it before, but she knew of it and so we went in and checked it out. They have everything from jewelry to books and a huge selection of singing bowls from Tibet. Free Tibet bumper stickers, Indian Tabla drums, carved Buddhas and Dragons of all sizes. Anything Buddhist you'd want. I dug it.

    Singing Bowls for meditation, books, etc.

    Not too expensive...

    Everything you could imagine is at Crabtree Valley Mall. Every above category is featured either in a department of one of the anchor stores or in its own specialty shop. Because of the number and diversity of stores, every price range is represented.

  • My husband and I used to go here sometimes while driving between Charlotte and Greenville. Crabtree Valley Mall is definitely a nice mall. Some malls freak me out, but the atmosphere at this place is nice. :-)

    There are a lot of nice stores here, but I especially remember this one that has an outdoor part to it where they sell plants... I always thought that was pretty cool.

  • All local professional photographers use this lab, should not you? Ok, I 'copied' from a TV medicine ads, but this is the best photo lab in town.

    Very friendly and knowledgable and helpful staff.

    Any photography related needs, from traditional style, i.e., film, to digital: developing, printing, digital processing, image processing etc etc.

    Depends upon the service, see their website for price list.

    This was indeed a large and quite wonderful place to visit - I made two visits when i was in the area. Some good shops and excellentb places to eat.

    The Mall opening hours are:

    Monday - Saturday 10am - 9pm; Sunday 12noon - 6pm

    As with many places like this, I am sure that stores all have different hours from time to time.

    I found the store when I was out for a session of evening Mall shopping after a day at work in RTP. The service here was excellent and the staff were great and good fun too!

    The main sales activity with me was done by Jeff Savelli - and unsurprisingly my money was taken by a Ticknor, in fact it was Blake Ticknor. The business seems to focus on having stores in Ohio, with just one in North Carolina. They have a good online catalogue too. I was impressed by the store and the clothes that they had on sale - quite a few good quality Italian shirts and jackets.

    I have now made a second visit and the staff were as attentive as ever - and this time I was served by Jagger Ticknor. It was quite pleasant to speak to him and discover more about the store.
