[thelakelander]

You know it's bad when the shoe stores start abandoning your shopping center. Even Gateway has been able to hold on to the shoe stores:

The end is near.

I went into the JC Penny at regency a few days ago.  Wow.  Holding on by a thread...  It was depressing.

So Champs and Foot Locker will both be in the same shopping center?

[thelakelander]

Yes....across the street from Regency so they'll have direct visibility to traffic that obviously is avoiding going inside the mall.

Interesting. Makes sense from their perspective.

To be honest, I did not even realize Champs Sports was still around. Haven't thought about them much since high school. When I would look forward to their new catalog to see the new Starter jackets and Air Jordans.

Maybe it's finally time to start looking at this again...

Clearly the "let's leave a 50 year old mall there and half-ass bothering to do anything about it" strategy isn't working.

I didn't even know Foot Locker was still operating in the mall......
