Morrestown Mall suffers a major department store. One out of the 10 Lord & Taylor’s that are closing is located here. L&T closed their 5th Avenue flagship store at the beginning of the year. The mall is struggling also, that doesn’t help it reputation. The mall is located near Philadelphia in NJ. They did bot announce a closing date for the store. Currently Morrestown Mall is in a tax settlement with the township that the mall is located in.

Barney’s field for bankruptcy the second time yesterday and is closing most of their stores. Barney’s is small so it males sense why many of the stores are closing.

The new American Dream Meadowlands isn’t quite done adding stores! It was announced yesterday that they would be adding It’Sugar witch will be the first candy department store and Hard Rock Cafe will also open. American Dream has announced so many other stores and I still don’t know what some of the stores will be because they haven’t announced some. Westfield Garden State Plaza will most likely be the most affected by the new American Dream Meadowlands 

I see this more and more with malls. They are building apartments. Genius. It will stop Amazon more if mall owners build apartments because they can go shopping downstairs at the mall. Coral Square is located near Fort Lauderdale in Coral Springs. I think this development will help the mall a lot because it was empty when visited. I dod visit around opening.

If you are from Rhode Island you might remember Banana Republic closed it’s Cranston store in 2018. Well guess what their back at Garden City Center. For as long as forever. That’s what I know. On Monday Athleta will open their second Rhode Island store. I find it odd they have two stores in RI but it wasn’t my decision to open here. Banana Republic is located next Chico’s. Athleta is located next to Gap. Athleta at Garden City Center 2019 Banana Republic at Garden City Center 2019

LA’s famous Westside Pavilion has began its conversion into Google offices. Westside Pavilion was in many music videos. In early 2019 Macerich closed the mall after both anchor stores Nordstrom and Macy’s. I also think they decided to close this mall because many stores kept closing! Have fun working, not shopping wt Westside Pavilion today! Nordstrom closed and reopened at the NeW Westfield Century City.
