That sucks. Do you think the mall will close down? That will be a huge blow to the economy.

[george]

I don't think it will close anytime soon, maybe it will take on a differnt form other than a regional mall.the new management company is working on a plan for the mall.

this is not good news for the Macon Mall.

Wow, thats not good, is it something the company is doing to cut cost due to economy situation or is the area is just not supporting both stores.

The company is in trouble,some experts say that Dillards will be out of bussiness in five years.Dillards is closing all the under performing stores.

That was kind of silly for the company to build another store if they were in trouble, thats why i heard the developers of shoppes at river crossing wanted add Macy's too, but Macy decided not build because of financial reasons, but was looking to add a new store the Macon Market by 2010.... So it may be apart of one of the other New North Macon projects.

Steve & Barry is keeping the Macon Mall store open,but closing the one in Centerville.

According to the malls site plan dated 08/08/08 the Movie Tavern is going in part of the upstairs of the old Parisians(sp) with the lower level for rent.

along with about 15,000sf on the second level for rent.so I guess this means they are not going to tear it down.

Dillards to close macon mall store in mid december.

This is not good news for the Mall, I'm wondering what will take Dillard's spot now.

[george]

i hope not, it may go in at the Dillard's side now

[george]

when the Dillards is closed in mid december the mall will have about 400,000sf for lease and over 40 spaces for rent.and with the mall now owned by the bank(Wachovia) it's not looking good for the mall.

macon mall to be sold next month.

Steve and Barry's to liquidate remainder of its stores:

This will leave yet another large empty space in the Macon Mall. With the loss of Old Navy and relocation of Spencer's, the Sears end of the mall is continuing to empty out, while Dillard's will be gone on the other end soon...

If you go to the MM website, it says it has an abercrombie kids outlet. I wonder if that means it may be closing. On a map of RC, it shows Hollister, are they actually opening? If they do they will probably close the MM location. I could defienetly see A&F going to River Crossing Soon.

the mall as an Abercrombie and Fitch and a Abercromie store which is the kid,tween verison.I don't know why they call it an outlet.it's not an offcial Abercrombie outlet.Hollister is owned by Abercromie so if one leaves they all will.with Dillards and Steve and Barry's closing,I think all of the higher end stores will leave over time.

KB Toys is closing all 431 stores,yet another blow to the mall.the future looks grim for the mall.

Dillards is now closed,they closed dec 20.

I wonder what will happen to the Dillard Store, any updates on whether or not Movie Tavern is still coming.

Movie Tavern is waiting to see what happens after the mall is sold.right now a bank still owns the mall.

What's the chance of the mall closing? It sounds like it is in really bad shape with so many stores closing. I imagine it is because the Macon market is so over-saturated with new developments. Is that the case?
