Kingsdale Shopping Center

Nice area. Would have given more stars if parking was easier however I believe they are building a garage.

I understand why the Queen is so mean to me, but what's the Kingsdeal?Excellent and modern Shopping Center in the north part of Columbus not far from Ohio State University, with all kinds of great shops and some good Boba and dessert places - so definitely one of the better shopping malls on the north side of Columbus.

Kingsdale is a very nice, well-kept shopping center these days. There's a great large Giant Eagle Marketplace, a variety of restaurants and snack shops, including a variety of cuisines, a hardware store, a Goodwill donation spot, a bank, and more. It's a nice mix! There is a lot of parking available all around the shopping center. During non-pandemic times, they also come together to offer fun community events, which I'm looking forward to seeing again in the future. Like many others, I'm curious to see what happens with the old blue tile Lazarus/Macy's spot!

A convienent spot to kill a few birds with one stone. While the upscale Giant Eagle is usually what drives my trips to this shopping center, there are some other stops I usually make while there. Sometimes that might be a haircut at Kenneth's, perhaps grabbing a bite at Don Tequila's or a quick coffee at Panera.

The Macy's here is one of my favorite locations. I will mourn it when it's gone.There are a variety of sit-down and fast casual restaurants with a smattering of retail spaces throughout the shopping center. There's a US Bank also.Chipotle closes exactly on time so at 8:45pm expect to see part of the dining room with the chairs already on the tables. The Giant Eagle Market District has nearly every food imaginable. I've been able to find espresso powder for baking and chocolate cookies to make chocolate pie crusts.

When I came here, it was to visit the Giant Eagle which was HUGE and an awesome location to browse. They do also have quite a few restaurants and other stores from what I could tell.

With what has to be darn near the oldest Macy's (formerly Lazarus) around town, Kingsdale Center has seen better days. What was once known as Upper Arlington's shopping mall has now been reduced to just a few shops. There's a Chipotle here, which is always great. Then there's that big blue Macy's. Not much else to speak of. A revamp is underway, thankfully. Across the street from the mall, new mixed-use development is being build with condos and retail. Target is even rumored to be considering building on the site. Here's hoping...

Kingsdale has become a shopping 'destination', perhaps much like it was 25 years ago. One of the finest 'grocery' stores around,Giant Eagle Marketplace, is a foodies delight. With a VAST selection of domestic and imported foods,a great wine and beer section, and eat-in dining , this is a great place to spend several hours. There is a new Nutter Ace hardware store around the corner with a lot of traditional and non-traditional hardware 'stuff' and a very congenial and helpful staff. First Watch restaurant, MCL restaurant, Las Margaritas Mexican restaurant, Chipotle, and the state's first Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt shop are some places to eat. The Outdoor Source has a broad array of good outdoor gear and Jeffery Thomas carries good menswear. There is a frame shop, a pet store, and a beauty supply shop...just to name a few stores. And finally, Macy's has stood the test of time and continues to offer quality goods and helpful staff. It's easy to find a place to park and there are three banks, and two drug stores on contiguous properties.
