There are at least four or five bigs ones just in the Phoenix area. The Scottsdale one is doing okay (they were infamously hit during the BLM riots).
There are other upscale ones west of Phoenix and in Mesa/Chandler area. One one near me in Tempe is just getting by.
There’s one that does well in northern Tempe.
I think Phoenix is helped by being a spead out urban area that is relatively car friendly.
I should mention that the BIG one that was featured in Wayne’s World shut down a couple of years ago.
The one in Christown is doomed, as they lost Costco, and Christown got messed up by light rail.
My girls used to hangout at Scottsdale Fashion Square 20 yrs ago. I live in Maricopa now and haven’t been to Scottsdale in a few yrs so I was wondering how the mall was doing. Lots of memories of happier days.
