Revitalizing Teen Culture: Join the Oviedo Mall Rat Club Today!

Introducing the Oviedo Mall Rat Club: A New Era for Teens

In May 2025, Oviedo Mall is all set to relaunch the Mall Rat Teen Club, reigniting a cherished space for youth in the community. Initially introduced in early 2023, the club faced a pause as mall management focused on improvements. However, responding to recent challenges surrounding vandalism and disruptive behavior, this initiative promises a safe and enjoyable environment for teens to gather.

Creating a Safe Haven for Young People

“As someone who spent most of his youth hanging out at the mall, I understand how important it is for young people to have a place to connect with friends,” stated Josh Gunderson, Director of Marketing & Events at Oviedo Mall. The relaunch aims to create a welcoming environment, steering clear of implementing curfews and policies that may hinder teenagers' freedom.

Exciting Opportunities and Activities

The Mall Rat Teen Club will provide exclusive discounts and a range of engaging activities tailored for teens. Upcoming offerings include free photography lessons, yoga and wellness classes, cooking classes, and scavenger hunts. This diverse program is designed to promote creativity, health, and community involvement, shaping a positive future for local youth.

Fostering a Sense of Community

Oviedo Mall aims to evolve its identity, becoming a true community center rather than just a shopping destination. By bridging the gap between the past and present, the mall underscores its commitment to inclusivity. “We want to create a positive environment supported by teens who help uphold our community values,” Gunderson emphasized.

A Call to Families and Local Businesses

The mall encourages local businesses to engage with this initiative, whether through offering discounts, volunteering, or participating in event-attending. Parents can visit www.myoviedomall.com for more information on the program and to register their teens. Membership cards will be available at the mall, allowing access to all the exciting activities planned throughout the summer.
