A lot of these are expensive clothing chains I shopped at during and after college. Now that I’m a bit older, I don’t care that my jeans aren’t Abercrombie. A lot of parents I know are scaling back on kids’ clothing.

Also Malls are uncomfortable during holiday. Seems “Homeland Security’ is obsessed with Conservative White Christians - while the rest of us are worried about radical Muslims...

Liberal elites running stores don’t like everyday Americans - and we’re half the population... If they only want liberal elite shoppers they should close down the large stores and open small boutiques... Liberal elites make everything they touch joyless...

Another factor? A collapse in our birth rate.

Agreed. Many of these stores live or die with the Mall, which is rapidly being abandoned by the buying public. For a variety of reasons. But no shopping mall needs thirty stores selling the same cheesy crap to 14 year old girls.
