Glenbrook Square

I've visited probably 30 malls across the USA within the last few years and I've seen my fair share of thriving malls and my fair share of dying malls. Glenbrook Square is the only indoor shopping mall of this size in the area for hours around the Fort Wayne area and it's still holding on strong! The occupancy rate is probably about 85% based on my visit on Feb 9 2026, with lots of the typical mall stores and many new-to-me stores trying to make a name for themselves in the retail world. While it's not a luxury mall and lacks any high end retailers, it definitely has stores for everybody in a clean environment. The food court is nice, clean, and has many different options inside. It's easy to locate as it's central in the mall and all the hallways lead to it. My favorite is Sarku Japan for teriyaki chicken😋

Christmas was a very good experience and I know it's because the new owners know not to play hard rap music. The atmosphere was sweet due to Christmas theme and appropriate music, hope it continues through the year...?

Always loved this place! Can easily burn an afternoon shopping with the family. The food court has a lot of selections and has been clean when I've been there. There is a store for everyone it feels like and they have these cute little animal scooters to ride on. They even let adults ride them. 😆

Retro mall connoisseurs will appreciate this mall for its vintage feel. The carousel in the middle is a memorable touch that adds a lot of aesthetic appeal. There's a lot of preserved 90's era signage and aesthetics. The water feature is first rate and a rarity to see preserved as well as it is. As far as available stores, there's a good variety with only a few vacant storefronts. Most of the typical mall staples are available, with a good mix of independent stores. Overall it's a good place to visit for practical shopping as well as indoor mall appreciation. Other reviews mention security issues but we didn't encounter anything like that in our visit there.

My kids love going to the mall. We sit at the apples to eat and it's nice to have various choices. The arcade is fun and has good game selections. They love the play area, we always pass the fountain and make a wish with a coin toss, on the way. I park out front so we can have a nice walk together. We've taken photo booth photos 2 times a year for the last 7 years.

Glenbrook has been a part of my life since I can remember and I'm 40 years old. I can remember the ice skating rink. I loved watching people skate while we ate...it was awesome. I've watched the whole process of each change that has been made to the food court. It holds special memories from my childhood when my mom was alive. The quality of the stores is up and down....right now I'm really satisfied with what I saw. I get to Ft wayne now once or twice a year for shopping, so it was nice to see more stores I'd actually shop in.

Glenbrook Square is a beautiful, classy mall! A tremendous amount of stores, very clean, several food court options and a pretty water fountain all decorated for the Christmas season! The associates and people are very nice as well! I would highly recommend this mall to friends in the Fort Wayne area, or anywhere! I am from Cincinnati and this is one of the best shopping malls I have been to! I will definitely be back! 🙂
