The Good News here is that most of the Simon Group malls in my 2 state area (IS,NE) are either “outlet” type or a Mall that is either dead or dying. Most will soon be eligible of inclusion on: deadmalls.com website.
I’m in Ocean Cty NJ and I have called and emailed the anchor stores in the mall here and informed the mall manager of why neither myself, my family and as many of my friends as i can convince will no longer shop at either their stores or any other stores managed/owned by the Simon Group.
The mall manager was a polite individual and after I was done he asked m,e if i thought it was fair to all the employees and business owners in the Ocean Cty mall to penalize them for the decision in which they had no part.
My response was that the mall manager who made the decision did so because he had the freedom to do it and I assume it was based on what he believed was good business sense. I also have the freedom to disagree with his actions and if by exercising my rights cost the tenants of his mall money, then maybe it is he that ought to consider the fairness of his actions in refusing to renew the lease of the tenant selling conservative t-shirts, slogans, etc.
thats an awesome site though... so is caldor rainbow, the ames fanclub and labelscar
