When they were flourishing, the anchor big mall stores brought business to the lesser shops and eateries in the malls. Stores like Sears and Macy's closing shop will really wipe out medium-sized and small stores, (even the multitudes of kiosks) who depend on the traffic generated by the big chains at the mall's "four corners".

I hope Donald IMMEDIATELY makes a major statement (or at least in the next 20 days!) on any well-known chains, stores and malls going kaput so he doesn't get hung with these demises around HIS neck instead of the scrawny neck of Barak Insane Obama.

I HATE those kiosks and the smarmy people employed there; they're like panhandlers or worse. I hope that all of them go out of business!

OTOH....Malls, in certain places, are just hangouts for mobs of thug kids and should be closed.

The problem in "retail" is many fold...the big department stores expanded to too many places, about 25 years ago, and then the net began to make inroads.

Shopping was once an "experience"; now, especially for Millennials, many people seem to have agoraphobia; even dating, face to face, is too much for them to bear.
