It's in the heart of Silicon Valley, across the street from Santana Row (Luxury outdoor mall), and demographic is mostly people unaffected by pandemic.

Valley fair is thriving because the management is excellent. Each store is carefully selected and they make sure they are ones that shoppers actually want to go to.

The addition of many different restaurants is what draws many people in. Many other malls just have the food court and maybe a cheesecake factory. But this mall's got a good mix of retail and restaurants.

I used to go to this mall all the time but since they started charging for parking I really stay away from it I just don’t like the idea of it. I don’t like the idea employees have to pay for parking either

That's the worst part. That employers have to pay for it. They are the ones helping to bring money in. They should not be charged. Also yeah, I hate that we have to pay for parking in general. Just another reason why car-based society is stupid.

All parking isn’t free???? I was there in November, but I was ubering around that I didn’t notice 🤔

As a San Bruno native, every time I walked into Tanforan I kept asking myself whoever’s running this mall do a better job by making sure the right stores and attractions were at the mall much like Vally Fair and a lesser extent Serramonte. Many mall managers are have gotten so complacent with how malls used to run that they need to think like the mall mangers from Valley Fair in how to attract customers away from the computer and give them something different that would make them want to go

Terrible story. As a former merchant of the mall they have torn and destroyed hundred of dreams of small businesses with over promises. Under delivering traffic and one sides leases which most small business owners are unable to afford. I ended up settling in Small Claims when they didn't give me back my deposit. Crooks to say the least. That's why they are trying to dump their portfolio

and they charge for parking when it used to be free L

Good stores, good restaurants, safe vibe, no ghetto crap. Yeah makes a difference.

At least there’s some hope for malls as long as they keep up with change

I remember this mall from the 1960s, Wow!!!! Gorgeous

I love Valley Fair Mall it's been around since I was coming up in the Bay Area and I am always going to be at Valley Fair Mall fan

I’m sorry. Did you say Tu-Pack?

$3000 for 2 of those t-shirts? If I had billion dollars in my bank account, I still won't buy them.

I refuse to go there due to the newly enforced paid parking lot and the recently increased gun point robberies in the past few months.

Also that new parking payment prevents you from leaving the mall in a timely manner it’s like being stuck in a traffic jam while people try to pay with their credit cards through that machine and a whole lot of back up occurs.

2 hour free parking. $1 per hour after that. I think $10 is for a lost ticket. Main issue is that it is a pain to leave the parking garage because hundreds of cars have to go slowly through the exit gate.

Except everything is stupidly expensive and parking's atrocious nowadays. Arguably bougie. This mall used to be my favorite. Miss the days where it was just simple and not flooded with people moving to the area.

Best mall in the Bay Area. Wish other malls would follow suit. Great Mall, Newpark, Southland, Oakridge, Eastridge, Stoneridge, etc are all dead

Very nice. But it's security beefed up given the rising smash and grabs

Give it a moment. THEY will come and eff it up.

It's hard to reproduce the commercial center of Silicon Valley anywhere else ... it also helps that crime wave has not reached here yet.

The closest mall to my small town is 60 miles away in a large city. Not even worth the trip in time and gasoline and aggravation.

Somebody fire this guy, the disrespect. He really called Tupac “two pack”. The shirts not even a Tupac shirt. It also has B.I.G and Diddy on it. I don’t see how that’s worth 3k though.

I've had Amazon prime since maybe 2014 and I'm a huge fan but I like the experience of malls because I get to see everything in person before buying and they have food there too so I can be a fatass while I shop 😂
