Malls, retail stores, and restaurants all across the country are going out of business in a lead up to this coming recession / depression. The lucky ones that are still in business, are having a hard time right now as inflation is killing people's purchasing power and forcing many to only spend on essentials. How long can this go on for before everyone realizes the jig is up??

Worked part time at Kohl’s for about six months. 1. Theft was rampant. SO many people without shame. 2. Customers are pigs. They dump merchandise all over the store and Kohl’s pays multiple people every day to pick stuff up. 3. Did I mention customers are pigs? You can spend an hour organizing and folding a shelf and it will take just one person a few minutes to destroy it, making it difficult for the next person to find what they need. People just don’t care. 4. Because customers are pigs, employees have to spend a lot of time monitoring suspicious behavior instead of fixing problems mentioned in items 2 and 3. Then people wonder why stuff is so expensive

These days, ANY mall I go to is a mere shadow of what the mall experience used to be. I think back to the holiday seasons of 2004/2005, and several of the malls were so jam packed, you struggled to find even one parking space. Sometimes you'd circle through the entire perimeter of the mall, for up to ten minutes, trying to grab a spot as someone else was leaving. Inside the malls, every inch of floor space was full of people, restaurants had lines, jewelry stores were packed, perfume counters in departments stores were slammed. When you consider what retail once was, it's pretty clear that it's now on life support.

Anecdotal story that sums up why brick and mortar retail is failing: Needed a replacement tire for my wheelbarrow. Saw them at Home Depot drove 10 minutes at 9pm on a Friday night to go buy it. Found two on the shelf, both had the axle adapters removed from the packaging. Drove down the street to Lowe’s, walked around for 10 minutes trying to find tires. They did not have the one I needed. An hour total of my time wasted. At midnight, I went on Amazon, found the tire I needed and it was delivered in the morning. More and more, I just go to Amazon. Soooo much easier

This was ultimately the end goal, kill local economies and make them dependent on large corporations for consumer goods. Amazon will push this evaporation of local and ultimately national choice away until there is just a handful of Companies that supply you the items (goods) you consume. The definition of digging our own graves but, hey what do I know.

I agree. The restaurant experience is no longer enjoyable. The food is not as good as it once way. They are squeezing you into such a small space that the server has a hard time getting you your food. I don’t mind paying a little more for a nice time but if the atmosphere and food is no better than what I could do at home, Why do it ? Then I’m suppose to leave a nice tip on top of that.

@@blackworldtraveler3711 I totally disagree with your opinion….Yes, no one is “forced” to dine in at restaurant, but, any establishment that chooses to make money off of the public, MUST provide a quality product and service…if it can’t; then get out of town!!

Sad to see. I grew up in Rockford. My dad was one of the electricians who helped build the mall. East High School class of 1981.

Back in the 80's and 90's, even years before I guess, malls were super packed with people. Nowadays malls are being used as exercise tracks for the elderly with small pockets of people walking around.

The death of the mall is partially due to the horrible economy we are experiencing. Necesity is the way to go and live now and NOT WANTS.

My friends and I used to hang out at the Cherryvale Mall at the arcades when it was first built. Now the north side property has trash all over every time I'm there.

Converting them into partial Apartments is a great idea too I read here sounds logical

We have cut back dramatically on our restaurant nights . The one thing that really stands out for me is the cost of beer and drinks since 2017 . In 2017 a beer would cost $2.50. Today that same beer cost anywhere from $4.00 to $8.00. As a consequence we just don’t go out every night of the weekend anymore . We’ve cut it to Saturday only. Why pay $8.00 dollars for a Coors Light when I can buy it all day at Krogers for $1.00. How can anyone justify that mark up and who is dumb enough to pay it ?

During Covid we really retrained ourselves to eat/cook at home....now we actually prefer it. Saves a lot of money too.
