I think for the midprice shopper, in a year it'll be fantastic. A little slow opening up, but it will fill up. The location is just too good to not be a good center for bargain hunters and people in the midrange.

My buddy at Penney's told me they're soft opening on the 25th or 26th and officially opening Oct 4 at Shackleford. The univ. store will close 4 days earlier.

What is Zaxby's? Also, the Promenade has concrete being poured today.

Does anyone know what's going in just south of Walmart on Bowman at the corner of Kanis??? That whole lot, prob 3 acres, is being cleared really really fast.

A lady that works there told me that Haverty's would be closing across from PF Changs.

It will basically be Park Plaza out west, Ann taylor loft, gap, DSW, american eagle, etc. I wonder who's new at Shackleford Crossing, too.

I was at Penney's this week. No returns on most of their stuff and the checker told me they'd already started their final clearance. He said they'll close in September and reopen at Shackleford in first week of Oct.

Any new news on who's coming here? They are destroying the street now.

everyone read the article in the Dem-gazette about University mall in today's issue.

From what I hear. I'm not sure if the entire Dunlaps company is going out, but I was told for sure that the Cohn's portion is going out. A major vendor of Cohn's told me last weekend. The University location is on a month-to-month lease and is liquidating as we speak.

If you're referring to Dunlaps, no. They're liquidating and going out of business. Several of their stores have already closed and I heard that Cohn's is closing at University, as well as, every store in AR.

I meant Dunlaps, they were the same company so I have just always said Cohn's. I don't think it will hurt the center at all to lose them.

Have a friend that told me Cohn's is liquidating and won't be going to this center. Wonder who'll replace them?

Look at the site plan for this thing. Do you guys think there'll be sufficient parking directly in front of the buildings? I'm not familiar much with this type of shopping center. Will people park and walk around? Or will they want parking directly in front of the shop? I'm not sure how the new mall in Rogers, for example, is laid out.

Anyone have any updates on stores opening here in October?
