So this is apparently one of the sites that Costco might go...

I can see a Von Maur replacing the Sears at Crabtree. That'll help shake things up there.

Thank you for the update on that store!

SouthPark is the #1 most congested mall in the US on Black Friday, according to GPS maker TomTom. http://www.wsoctv.com/news/29824842/detail.html

Kmart just put a new sign up for that store, it seems like Kmart has staying power in Asheville.

There's always somewhere to go. Upward! lol,but yeah not allowed to

I believe the contiguous portion of the mall + Dick's, McCormick's and San Antonio's makes up the 1,621,000 square feet. The 1,794,000 comes in with the Eckerd Drug's, Crate and Barrel and Village at SouthPark lower level shopping plaza -- which Niblet mentioned.

Yeah Nibletodell has a point, it is not only people who lose their jobs that a recession affects. I know people who are making less having a job than they did on unemployment.

Thanks for the info!! I remember Waccamaw too!

Very interesting about the JC Penney coming to Windsor Square. I know they were the 3rd speculated anchor @ Bridges, Dillard's and Belk were committed to the project, i think Belk is still and Dillard's probably is .... I'm guessing the JCP is coming to the old Burlington Coat Factory @ Windsor sq?

Southpoint was not developed by GGP actually, although it is owned by them now. Their [southpoint's] central location in the Triangle and proximity to high income and high education areas makes them successful, whereas Bridges at Mint Hill, from a population standpoint, is a little "out there." It could help spur development, but perhaps work better as a neighborhood or community center rather than a super-regional open-air mall. You are correct, it would be the first open-air lifestyle center of that sort in Charlotte (if you don't count things like Birkdale Village and Metropolitan Midtown to an extent). I just fear that the building of this could be overmalling us a little.

is there even a market for it

Ohhh it's a Healthy Home (Home Economist) Market... thats cool! http://www.hemarket.com/retailer/store_templates/shell_id_1.asp?storeID=9E2183FD37B644688460B56FF8928F28

OR create a new wing connecting Macy's wing to where Dillard's wing Victoria's Secret is roughly and have an entirely new corridor

that amazes me^... i wish Belk SouthPark exterior still reflected 1970

I saw that yesterday, really exciting news!

I always thought they could (if they really wanted to) add a second level connecting the Belk-Dillard's wing.

If Metro Monsoon were still here... there'd be some people banned LOL... just sayin' back on topic, guys

Yeah, I hope so too. I like their store in Friendly Center better because it's easier to get in and out of. Surprised they don't have a Triangle location, yet.

Sur La Table is an excellent store, I hope they relocate elsewhere in the mall or at least stay in CLT which I'm sure they will.

Good space for a Trader Joe's?

Birkdale...

Do you guys think it'll last as a Food Lion, now?
