Eden Prairie Center Mall - "Mallrats" & "Drop Dead Gorgeous" Filming Location - Eden Prairie, MN

The Eden Prairie Center Mall, located at 8251 Flying Cloud Drive in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, was used as a filming location for two films. The first was the 1995 cult classic, "Mallrats." The above image is a still from the film. Below is the same entrance in September of 2014, which is right next to the Target store. As you can see from my image below, the mall has changed quite a bit. In fact, most of the interior mall shots of "Mallrats" were also filmed here. The problem is that the mall has undergone an extensive overhaul and it looks absolutely nothing like it did in 1995.

The mall was also used for an exterior shot in the 1999 film "Drop Dead Gorgeous." The above still was taken on the back side of the Target store. Again, the mall has a whole new look as you can see in my 2014 image below.
