Our 1st time at this mall. The police presence with a K9 wasn't calming nor was it a relief. Just saw them circling every part of the mall. Family atmosphere, some nostalgic stores we no longer have in FL. Every store we went in people seemed genuinely nice. The carousel was running but overall good time.

This mall has had some bad press lately, no fault of their own. My daughter and I went there and had a nice time. She bought t shirts and jewelry (hot topic). We didn't see any problems, and felt safe everywhere we went in the mall. Also, one of the better food courts is right here.

If your a bus driver with a group looking for a mall with a food court thus is NOT where you want to come them make you park on the other side of the mall,they are nice enough to offer you a ride to and from but when your on a time schedule it won't give you enough time to get something to eat ...bring in the people to spend the money but rush the drivers in and out with no time to order sit down and eat....ALL BUSES STAY AWAY FROM HERE

We live in Columbia's Lake Carolina development and drive 25 Minutes just to come to this nice mall. Unfortunately gangs were left unchecked for last few years and now 9 people shot the Saturday before Easter. Hopefully this is a wake up call for the mall to add more security or even placing a police substation inside the mall like they was done at the Columbia mall. Honest handwork people should be able to shop and dine in safety.
I work in the mall and I've never seen such a person. Which authority did you notify? the police department is in there constantly and there's mall security as well so I'm assuming you notified one or both of them. what did they do in response to your report? Did you write out a statement for them? What kind of description did you give them? I assume that was better than the one you gave us. And if he works for the mall then obviously the mall would have investigated him by looking at video and then if it's true terminating him.
folks are people who come on the internet and say stuff like this just to get attention so when a story like this comes up you have to treat it with a bit of scrutiny. Reputations could be hurt. For all we know this man owes the guy who posted this money and he's just blasting him on here with lies because the man hasn't paid him back. Notice no one else has said they've seen this person as well. Don't assume just because this guy says it that it's true.
I would avoid any place that has a sign up that says no refunds by the register and China Express is the place I'm talking about. If they went to the trouble to put up that sign that means they have been asked for refunds a lot. There are only a few reasons people ask for a refund at a restaurant and terrible food is most of it. If you want Asian cuisine try Ruby Thai. Much better.
I'm not 100% certain why the parking lights are out in this parking lot, but I have seen this happen elsewhere in other parking lots.
It's usually due to a maintenance related issue or problem.
Management is most likely aware of the problem, and usually has problem(s) addressed within a day or two.
Concerning your safety:
If you can, park differently than you normally do (closer to the lights of the actual store buildings themselves), keep your car keys in hand until you are safely inside, and carry/use a small, but bright, flashlight to illuminate where you are walking.
Because the economy is still not where it use to be, a lot of people are not willing to work and a lot of companies had to cut back on hours... Plus people ain't really buying or spending money on foolish... everybody is trying to become bosses

No.
Do you have a security guard or lost & found? I think I drove off with my purse on the vehicle

Yes, I believe they still have Mall Security. But I don't no how to get in touch with them since the mall is closed.
Call Sheriff's Dept (I think Richland is in Charge now) & see if they can help you.
They have the motorized ones there but you have to ask someone who works at the center (security guard or call ahead) they have rent a push cart for kids (the fun little red trucks) and free wheelchairs available upon request.
There are multiple jewelry stores in the mall. Price will depend on size of chain, type of repair, and how fast you need rhe repair done. Best to take your chain in for an estimate.
It is always best to have an adult that you know nearby no matter what mall you find yourself at. Be safe... and if you see something say something never let your gusrd down even if with an adult.
