Our local mall was the largest one within 50 miles just a few years ago. Always was crowded, especially at Christmas.
Now it’s practically empty and being torn down section by section as stores close. Even the food court is gone.
All the big retailers, ‘anchor stores’ are gone, Sears Pennys, Dillards, McRaes, Zales, Radio Shack, Victoria’s Secret, et al.
All that’s left are small locals and a Planet Fitness.
I was in there last month and was shocked to see it blocked off where there used to be lots of stores......................
It’s a sad case when stores close good Christmas shopping then Sears was great last minute one stop shopping something for everyone.
