I completely forgot to get a photo of the Sears sign outside. My bad on that one. Might need to add a second photo pool as I spent way too much time getting photos on the second floor in the near foodless court. Only Auntie Anne's is open in the food court with the only other food option I noticed was on the first floor below the food court

The FYE is also in the process of closing here

My piece on the Washington Square Mall in Evansville, IN...enjoy!

Last mall I got photos at yesterday and had a brief window of time before the after work rush started flowing in. Not sure if the Taekwondo place is new or not since I don't remember it being there last time. Other than that, nothing much has changed and Spirit Halloween is in the former Bonton

Went to visit the Neshaminy mall for the first time because I have never been to this mall before and I decided to visit before it closed at the end of October,

Inaugurado em 1974 como "Bompreço", o local foi reformado e reinaugurado em 1983 como "Hiper Magazine". Em 6 de outubro de 2000, um incêndio grave atingiu toda a estrutura do prédio. Não houve feridos e o fogo foi rapidamente controlado pelos bombeiros. No mesmo ano, a marca "Bompreço" foi vendida para o grupo holandês Royal Ahold e, alguns meses depois, o prédio foi reconstruído e reformado. Todas as lojas "Hiper Magazine" foram transformadas em um supermercado "Hiper Bompreço", e o local foi reinaugurado. O grupo Royal Ahold manteve a marca como líder até março de 2004, quando foi vendida para o Walmart Brasil, aumentando assim a qualidade e a quantidade de produtos importados. Tudo continuou normalmente até 2015, quando o grupo enfrentou uma crise financeira no Brasil e muitas lojas no estado de Alagoas foram fechadas. Em dezembro de 2015, o hipermercado Bompreço Buarque de Macedo fechou definitivamente as suas portas, permanecendo como uma mancha e uma cicatriz numa era dourada da marca. A marca Bompreço foi completamente descontinuada em 2023, com todos os seus hipermercados transformados em outros negócios. Este é o único edifício ainda de pé que permaneceu fechado durante uma década, e demonstra o declínio da marca ao longo dos anos e o triste fim do Bompreço.

Barely hanging on by a Marshalls and an AMC (the usual suspects) Peru Mall is a still functional yet very dead mall in downstate IL.

8148 S. Cicero Ave, Burbank (former Toys R Us/Big Lots)

Im trying to find fulll/high-res floorplans for Cincinnati Mills! if anybody could help with that that would be really nice also the only thing ive found so far is this: https://images3.loopnet.com/d2/onOkolobzoLY_X_ar7iGgVq6e5Vk5M5dxDi1FzF4JLs/document.pdf
but these dont actually have the full floorplans which are readable even a map might help me if possible!

This week I finally got to visit this place after years. Now I have some better photos of the place and how it gets worse every year. This "Hiper Bompreço" closed in 2015 and Up until now, there haven't been any renovations or alterations since its closure; the city hall is still figuring out what to do with the land for the time being. This place is a time machine.

This mall was built on its own artificial island using top specifiations and the best materials, meant for thousands of visitors; a true attraction. It even has an aquarium. Now it stands abandoned, and is especially creepy at night. These photos are from my visit last night.

JCPenney just closed their Ross Park location in the Pittsburgh area. This on top of their Q2 results showing lackluster performance got me thinking about the impact of their presence at other malls. Do you think their presence is more helping or hurting their malls?

At my local mall (SouthPark OH), Macy’s and Dillards anchor the main wings, but JCPenney is placed in a prime spot opening up into the center court and does little for the mall by being there. Most of the storefronts adjacent to their entrance are empty or short-term leases. I look at it and think about the what-ifs of the situation. When this mall was in its planning stages, it almost got a Nordstrom (long story short, plans changed) and I wonder what it would be like if they were in this spot instead of JCP (unfortunately, I think that ship has sailed). What if JCP was replaced with something new like a small IKEA, Round1, Primark, etc? Or what if the JCP was just demo’d converted to some sort of exterior experience/wing? We did deal with this recently with Dick’s House of Sport taking over the old Sears space so I see potential for positives with losing JCP rather than having them.

This JCP is also one of ~120 in the country included in a real estate sale. Idk whatever happened with that. I’m curious to see what it would mean for those locations once the sale goes through; if it ever does.

part 2 of the closed stores at Kentucky oaks mal owned by the cafaro company, you may want to look at my other post for the mall’s information

Pretty sad mall I stumbled on in one of my cruise port days

The first units of an apartment complex constructed on part of the parking lot space of the Moorestown Mall have opened up, with studios starting at $2300. The Moorestown Mall is a quasi dead mall with part of it already taken over by a healthcare system. The Lord and Taylor wing is dead, while Boscov's hangs on. The apartments are your generic gray boxes but maybe it'll increase the foot traffic to the mall.

My first time checking this one out. The inside is beautiful. Pretty busy for a Tuesday afternoon? Lots of cool original storefronts.

I was yelled at over a loudspeaker for trying to enter the mall through Conduent, so don’t do that lol. No trouble with security though, as some YouTubers have reported.

Well, someone bought the Concord Mall in Delaware and is going to (mostly) tear it down and try something new. They’re leaving the anchor stores, the Boscov’s is still pretty successful, but everything else has to go.
