The Scene
For what it lacks in aesthetics, it makes up for in function. Set up like a series of strip malls conjoined, it offers a mixuture of services and bargain clothing stores. Over 150 retail stores lie on two levels; the main floor and the underground level called the Connection.

The Stores
Marshalls, Old Navy, and Famous Footwear stand in opposition of anchor stores Carson Pirie Scott, JC Penney, Sears and Montgomery Ward, while Kids R Us and John M. Smith Homemakers serve as specialty shops. Record Town and the Saturday Matinee movie store offer pleasant diversions. You can take in a show at one of 14 theaters at General Cinema Ford City or let Food City food court fill your tank with Arby's, Bressler's Ice Cream, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonald's and Wendy's. The mall also houses restaurants like John's Garage, Old Country Buffet and Girabaldi's.
