Regency Square Mall Thread

Belk is still pretty nice on the interior.  Haven't heard anything about them moving or closing.

I heard from one of the western regency mall stores that they mall has asked them to move to the eastern side of the mall (towards JCP). The clerk told me that the mall wasn't going to assist them financially in building out their new location, so once their lease is up they're going to close up shop.

This is 100% hearsay, but has anyone heard anything similar? Are they going to do something with the Belk->Sears side of the mall?

Good question. I was just there 3 weeks ago and that western end is in sad shape. It never has been a section of the mall I went to anyways, but I didnt know it was that dead down there. Really once you pass belk there not much down there. We will see what they are up to I guess.

Yep, belk to JCP is pretty busy, I would say there's not too many open spots. The only thing past belk really is sears and a few smaller stores. Sears being the only one that's busy. I don't know how you'd get sears to move though.

The western side has never been busy - even though they playground and santa is always on that side. I think they need to level it, but they must try to not lose sears - that's too big an anchor.

The only store I usually ever go to is JC Penney. When I was there a few weeks ago, the store was busy.

Unless they convince Sears to move in the old montgomery ward space. Everything does need to shift.

Which is the old mont. ward space? Is that the consignment shop now?

I am pretty sure that is now a "was" .. meaning  I believe it is gone.

YUP its gone. I actually bought several items from there for my new house a few months ago. Went back and they were gone.  But I dont blame that on Regency. Alot of people did not even know they were there. I even explained that to them and asked if they had a website and I could not get a straight answer. I pretty much knew they were not gonna be able to hold up.

Bummer... I realized it was there and before I had a chance to go in , it was gone .  Wonder if it moved or just folded altogether?

Sears is too large to fit into the old montgomery ward space.  One thing they can do is keep Sears and the east mall as is, demolish and replace the west mall with an outdoor lifestyle component featuring a variety of dining and entertainment options.  There are several examples of projects like this across the state and country.  One example is Cumberland Mall just north of Atlanta.

Wait - it was there a few months ago??? I've been going to Regency for years and didn't know there was a MW. Where exactly was it?

[fsujax]

There is no MW it closed years ago.

No the consignment store. MW shut down shop long years ago.

This is a really fantastic idea.
