BIGMallrat's Editorial Review

5 of 10 scoreSomersville Towne Center in Antioch, previously known as County East Mall, added Macy's on Friday, June 30, 2004. It provided a much needed shot in the arm. The interior mall also was remodeled.

A good alternative to the busy Sunvalley mall in Concord, this mall offers a quieter, less-hectic shopping experience.

Atmosphere

Thanks to the recent remodel, Somersville Towne Center appears contemporary and up-to-date. You'll find neutral colors throughout, including the new tile floor. The ceiling, which wasn't updated, features mirrored tiles.

Stores

There is a pleasing selection of national retailers, as well as a number of tchotchke shops that provide interest. Department stores range from affordable to expensive. Yet, Macy's and Gottschalks both stood out as fine examples of retailers.

Food

No food court here, however, a few eateries are grouped around Mervyn's.

Parking

We found parking to be fairly easy. The lot around Macy's was crowded, but there was plenty of parking in front of Gottschalks and near Sears.

Location

Somersville Towne Center is located off Hwy 4 at Somersville Road in Antioch, California.
