Another excellent point. it is fairly common to see old malls that got demolished and the site turned into a Amazon DC.
They were built with easy highway access for shoppers, which make the site perfect for Amazon and their employees, trucks and delivery vans.
Malls will still be around, but IMHO, only the biggest and best will survive. They need things like Apple stores, Abercrombie and other similar higher-end stores to attract people.
Thanks.
It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
Increasing robberies in malls in California is due to the “It ain’t a crime unless you steal over $900 dollars worth.
So packs of ferals are robbing stores in big malls and even the smaller Outlet/Discount malls.
Over a decade ago big a Walmart store in a small shopping center in another county was closed due to daylight robberies and customer vehicles being broken into throughout the day.
That former Walmart is now basically an illegal drug re distribution center for that county.
Apparently, Amazon recently offered to put in a distribution center for the reasons you noted into the former Walmart. For some idiotic reason or bribery, that city/county turned them down.
So, Amazon recently opened a new huge distribution center in another county a few miles north of the abandoned Walmart store.
So the idiots or co criminals in the other county are losing out on a lot good business.
