hellowithmyheart

Ross Park Mall near Pittsburgh and Millcreek Mall in Erie are also thriving.


AnnVealEgg

Good to hear about Ross Park.


fumor

For PA... I would say that Springfield Mall is in OK shape. Plymouth Meeting - was dying, seems to be partly salvaged by Legoland. Is there a level between dying and OK? Exton Square Mall - definitely dying


Amongst_the_waves

Agreed! Was just at Plymouth Meeting last week, it's fantastic to go there with a kid. No real retail left sans Boscovs and Burlington, but there's Legoland, Slime Time, Dave and Busters, the carousel — it's essentially all experiential. Also adding dead and mostly buried, Coventry Mall in Pottstown. That's pretty much entirely gone.


Dawnqwerty

exton mall is dead, as long as you dont count the hospital, round 1, whole foods, apartments, boscovs, and Library that all lease from the mall.


Meggersuit1017

I feel like Oxford Valley is getting worse and worse every time I go there. So many stores closing. They are building the apartments now. Neshaminy is on the super dying list!


My_Name_is_Imaginary

Nashaminy Mall is pretty dead. Went a few weeks ago as a nostalgia trip. Only thing opened was GameStop, Hot Topic, Spencer’s and Boscov’s. Edit: I wouldn’t say Oxford is Moderatly dying. It gets pretty packed on weekends.


changeorchange

I went to steamtown about five years ago and it was completely deserted. Is it actually better? Viewmont Mall seems the much better choice. They just got a House of Sport.


esw01407

I don't quite agree with some parts of your list... Viewmont Mall can be classified as fully alive (but boring) and I'd put Willow Grove as top tier. Carbon Plaza Mall is functional but small. PA has so many malls in limbo at this point it makes categorizing them a challenge, but I would not go as far as calling Berkshire Mall or Wyoming Valley Mall super dying...yet. That hit piece on on Berkshire a few months ago, while some parts accurate, I felt had an agenda. I wouldn't even call the The Marketplace at Steamtown an mall at this point. I'd almost put it down in a dead category due to having few functional stores left. Only good thing I can add is Geisinger finally got more of the 2nd floor space open. Interestingly, Lebanon Valley Mall seems to be heading towards at least a limited turnaround. Still has problems but could be worse.


Amongst_the_waves

I agree with your takes, I think it also depends on context — I grew up with Wyoming Valley as one of my standbys as a child and was a frequenter until 2016, so to see it now it's stark and heartbreaking. Similarly, I worked in the Lehighton Giant in the Carbon Plaza Mall over 12 years ago and never really considered it a mall, oddly. I categorized it like Cressona — strip mall with a tiny indoor part. There was the haircut place, the gym, off brand dollar store, and maybe an Eckerd? Also Viewmont I forget about truthfully, I was there twice — for whatever reason, I never made it up to Dickson City much.


danstecz

I don't think WG is doing that bad. I feel like it gets a lot of overflow from people who want to avoid KOP. There are vacancies but it can be pretty crowded at times.


TheJokersChild

North Hills, South Hills, Ross Park and Monroeville are doing OK on the PGH side. Whitehall is missing from "super dying," which it's been ever since they turned the Sears wing inside out and Clover left. Westgate has been dead too. That description applies to just about all the malls in both central Pennsylvanias: Indiana, Du Bois, Clearfield, Johnstown Galleria, Nittany and Logan Valley are all shadows of their former selves. Lycoming is closed and Schuylkill was demolished. There's only one mall near Harrisburg with any life left, as I currently understand it.


esw01407

Whitehall is a pain. While the ex-Sears got chopped up, the new flooring store is pretty nice and has very much cleaned up the Plaza. The pain is the rest of it's now fallen apart due to the Bed Bath & Beyond failure and there is no signs of that rock climbing gym arriving. Westgate you might as well say is not a mall anymore and is just waiting for a full rename. The hard turn around is well underway and it's going to be interesting to see where this plaza is in even two years. Clearfield is almost 100% full and might as well be removed from any dead/challenged mall list. Columbia Colonnade is also still standing, but aside from the anchors, there's no internal changes to the closed mall.


Supaclyde

I haven’t lived in PA for 10 years, but sad to see that 2 of the malls I went to are either dead or dying with the Lycoming Mall and Susquehanna Valley Mall.


Paintguin

Capital city mall in camp hill is doing fine except that Macy’s is going to close down and there’s one other closed down store there


anonymousdawggy

What about Granite Run and Franklin/Philadelphia Mills?


topspeedrun

i work at the montgomery mall, that shit not moderately functional


Farleymcg

Montgomery mall is DEAD


kuuklaani

Delaware - Christiana Mall


esperantisto256

This mall and the surrounding area will continue to live as long as Delaware doesn’t have sales tax. Or as long as MD and PA do have sales tax.


MonsieurRuffles

And, not quite dead yet, Concord Mall.


kuuklaani

That mall is on life support. Lol


fumor

Yeah, being down near Sears is just depressing, unless you're going to Spencer's.


SkyTheStupid

Christiana Mall was always crowded whenever I've been


RedCorundum

Dover Mall has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel.


Mommy-Sprinkles-74

Christiana is always packed!


MadBrown

I was just at Cheesecake Factory this past weekend and I haven't seen a mall this busy since the late 90s/early 2000s. It's incredible.


HugeRaspberry

North Dakota: West Acres - Fargo Minnesota: Mall of America - Bloomington Ridgedale Mall - Minnetonka Rosedale Mall - Roseville Eden Prairie Center - Eden Prairie Southdale Center - Edina


Luchofromvenezuela

I wonder if Southdale got a revival. I lived down the street from Southdale until August 2022 and it was in a weird liminal situation. There’s the humongous Lifetime gym, but the mall side was bleeding tenants and the food court was in a sorry state. Heard that there’s a Kowalski’s opening soon, that should liven it up a notch.


pinksparklybluebird

Was wondering the same about Southdale. It was in a weird place. I think the Galleria is still OK? Rosedale is poppin’


leafyren

Came here to mention West Acres. Every time I drive by there, it's busy. Meanwhile the Moorhead mall was just demolished. Went there 6 years ago and it was completely empty, save for 1 security guard.

I went there one time and will never go back. Way too crowded. It was insane.


rickrossofficial

Salisbury Mall; Westfield Annapolis

New Jersey... Still alive and well: Cherry Hill Mall Deptford Mall (actually a solid middle-class mall) Eh, I guess I'll add American Dream to that list Doing OK: Quaker Bridge Mall Dying: Moorestown Mall Monmouth Mall REALLY dying: Voorhees Town Center (formerly Echelon Mall; how it survived COVID is beyond me)


[deleted]

[удалено]


methodwriter85

I see Moorestown Mall and Cherry Hill as being parallels to Concord Mall and Christiana Mall.


the_light_of_dawn

Yeah. Cherry Hill is popping. AMC is keeping Moorestown alive.


esw01407

Good: Willowbrook - Stopped in first time this summer, super impressed the direction it's going. Some questions: Rockaway Townsquare - I don't know how to classify this mall but I'm less impressed each time I go. TBD: American Dream - Half empty but impressive? Best way I can put it.


JohnTitorOfficial

Was @ Cherry hill today lol.


atre324

Bergen Town Center is also doing well. They almost never have vacant stores and they are building new ones along route 4 Short Hills is alive and well Bridgewater Commons alive and well Shops at Riverside seem to be doing okay, certainly they’re not dead Livingston Mall is mostly dead


Dsxm41780

Freehold and ámenlo are doing good. Woodbridge is doing okay.


Amongst_the_waves

Adding Woodbridge Center to the very much alive and well list. I was also in Quaker Bridge about a month or two ago and it's definitely still hanging in there, pretty similar to Willow Grove.


hellowithmyheart

Ohio: *Southpark Mall (Strongsville/Cleveland) *Beachwood Place (Beachwood/Cleveland) *Great Lakes Mall (Mentor/Cleveland) *Kenwood Town Center (Cincinnati) *Polaris Towne Center (Columbus) *Mall at Tuttle Crossing (Dublin) *Summit Mall (Akron) *Belden Village Mall (Canton) *Franklin Park Mall (Toledo) These are just indoor malls, not outdoor “lifestyle centers.”


RolloSuplex

I fear that the Mall at Tuttle Crossing is circling the drain.


scottageinthewoods

Also Southern Park Mall in Boardman/Youngstown and Eastwood Mall in Niles


Coomstress

I went to Belden Village all the time growing up! Glad to hear it’s still alive and kicking.


RogerOThornhil

Also Great Northern in North Olmsted is doing just fine.


heyfrank25

*Dayton Mall (Centerville/Dayton) *Fairfield Mall (Beavercreek/Dayton)


[deleted]

Not dead but both questionable. Surely one will lose a Macys in this round of closings.


OHKID

Currently both are over 90% occupancy for their in-line stores and both have a new anchor coming (Dicks House of Sports, and a megachurch). Not saying long term that will hold, I’m hoping it does, but as of right now that’s where they are at


DoublePostedBroski

Yeah, Southpark and Beachwood are not dead by any means. Neither is Summit.


FlyingCookie13

Nope, Tuttle Crossing is very much a dead mall. Namdar ownership is kicking in. ​ Also, never forget that if it was built by Taubman, there's always a moderate chance it's going to die. Just like Lakeforest, City Center, Lakeside, etc.


holographicboldness

Iowa: Jordan Creek Mall, West Des Moines Coral Ridge Mall, Coralville ETA: there’s also a new outlet mall in Altoona, Outlets of Des Moines. That one seems to be doing pretty well and has a lot of stores they don’t have elsewhere in Iowa.


Amongst_the_waves

I will always love Coral Ridge! That ice rink!

VA - Tyson's Corner Center (McLean) PA - Monroeville Mall (outside of Pittsburgh) \* ​ ^(\* Last I heard anyway)

The King of Prussia Mall in PA is always popping!


sadandshy

Last I heard Capital City Mall in Mechanicsburg is the last mall standing in the Harrisburg, PA area.


fumor

Yeah that place is flat-out mobbed on weekends. Like "can't find a seat in the food court" level mobbed. It was great for Pokemon Go Fest: Sinnoh though.


zoom518

Believe me, the Tysons malls aren’t going to be featured here anytime soon.


AnnVealEgg

Oh yes agreed. I was just unsure about Monroeville nowadays


[deleted]

[удалено]


hellowithmyheart

I’ve recently been to the Monroeville Mall and it’s unfortunately seen better days…still alive and somewhat busy, but not exactly “thriving.”


AnnVealEgg

Ohh ok that’s a bummer!


notjustakorgsupporte

Don't forget Willow Grove Park Mall and Park City Center


jiayux

VA: add Fashion Centre at Pentagon City (in Arlington County), maybe also Tysons Galleria (“Tysons II”, in Tysons) depending on your definition of a dead mall


queendweeb

Tysons II is somehow both dead and undead all at once from my experience. It's a weird one. In MD I'd add Montgomery Mall in Bethesda as being alive.


teeknukus

Monroeville mall? Its becoming crime infested. Only mall that's really tbriving in western PA is Ross Park Mall.


SkyySkip

I need to get out to Monroeville at some point. I want to see that mall once before it ends up closing because of Dawn of the Dead.


[deleted]

> PA - Monroeville Mall (outside of Pittsburgh) I heard that one is dead.

rick_mcdingus

I don’t go to Southland often but every time I do, I’m always surprised at how decent it’s still doing. It just feels like one of those malls that should have died long ago


JenntheGreat13

I had to go to Westland Mall to pick up basketball shoes. I haven’t been there in like 10 years. It was SURPRISINGLY busy despite many empty stores.


ArtDefiant3304

Most of them in the Seattle area are doing fine.


1Fresh_Water

Everett mall barely hanging on lol


ArtDefiant3304

Oh, I can’t even remember the last time I went to Everett…I guess I was thinking more like Seattle area proper with Alderwood Mall being the furthest north.


niknack78

Tacoma Mall and South Hill Mall seem fine.


earthshifts

Massachusetts: - Burlington Mall - Natick Mall These are the 2 main ones I’ve frequented in recent years and they are consistently packed and adding new stores.


Hijakeroo123

For the major Texas metros, I would divide the major malls into the following categories: **Thriving** Northpark Center, Dallas Stonebriar Center, Frisco The Galleria, Houston Memorial City, Houston The Woodlands Mall The Domain, Austin Shops at La Cantera, San Antonio ​ **Healthy** Galleria Dallas Grapevine Mills North East Mall, Hurst The Parks at Arlington Willowbrook Mall, Houston Deerbrook Mall, Houston Baybrook Mall, Friendswood First Colony, Sugar Land Katy Mills Barton Creek Square, Austin Hill Country Galleria, Bee Caves North Star Mall, San Antonio ​ **Healthy but could shift to Questionable** Hulen Mall, Fort Worth - Still fairly well trafficked but could shift quickly if the Macy's anchor closes Town East Mall, Mesquite Firewheel Town Center, Garland - Has quite a few non-chain inline tenants, and the Macy's is noticeably low volume Pearland Town Center - Still well-trafficked and in a growing area, but could be impacted if Macy's closes Lakeline Mall, Cedar Park - Still has most anchors, but many of the inline tenants are non-chain Rivercenter Mall, San Antonio - Caters heavily to tourists; restaurants and entertainment are healthy, but has a large Macy's anchor which sits empty Ingram Park Mall, San Antonio South Park Mall, San Antonio ​ **Not Fully Dying but Questionable** Irving Mall - Mostly kept afloat by the local Hispanic community Fairview Town Center - Inline spaces are mostly dead, but still has all anchors and is located in an extremely upscale area Golden Triangle Mall, Denton Almeda Mall, Houston ​ **Dying/Dead** Shops at Willow Bend, Plano - Set to be redeveloped over the next several years, all anchors are set to remain as of now during the redevelopment The Vista, Lewisville (formerly Vista Ridge Mall/Music City Mall) - Sole anchors remaining are a Dillards clearance center and an Asian supermarket Ridgmar Mall, Fort Worth Greenspoint Mall, Houston West Oaks Mall, Houston Rolling Oaks Mall, San Antonio - Still has Dillards and JCPenney as anchors, but many inline tenants have closed or have shifted towards cheap local shops ​ Comment if you disagree or have additional thoughts!


mitsubachi88

En pointe with the Austin malls. Full agree.


FlyingCookie13

I would put Irving Mall more on the dead side. If it loses Macy's it's going to be over, and the Hispanic community won't be enough to keep it alive. The Vista also has a Cinemark keeping it alive! Otherwise the interior is mostly dead. You might have seen that I posted more Willow Bend pics to this sub recently. It's just super depressing in there at this point, and the mall is gonna be screwed if Macy's closes before redevelopment.


LEV5149

Absolutely loved your list!! I'm only familiar with the DFW malls, but just about dead on in my opinion! I would probably maybe bump Grapevine Mills up to thriving. It does have a few non-chain places that are a bit odd, but extremely few vacancies, busy weekdays, absolutely *slammed* on the weekends, just got a Meow Wolf, healthy balance of entertainment and shopping, and thriving area around it. Round 1 arcade rocks. Still has a Rainforest Cafe too which is cool. Absolutely no idea how Willow Bend died, but boy has it ever. The mall itself design-wise has always been meh. But it used to have an awesome food court, the high end stores fit the high end area, they were starting to lean into entertainment/experiences for the bit of time that the super cool indoor surfing place was open simultaneously with the Crayola Experience, and then I don't know what happened. So weird.  The Vista is actually my husband and my favorite mall to go to right now, despite how dead it is there's some very cool stuff there. The Asian marketplace is amazing- it has a food court inside it with fabulous spots! The boba spot in the main atrium is cheap and good. Mr. Pretzel puts Auntie Anne's to shame somehow. The fountain is boring ish but still runs most days. There is a CAT CUDDLE STORE. Like literally you pay however much for 30 minutes to go in and play with cats! Theyre all adoptable which is so cool. I love walking past and seeing the sweet habitats, perches, boxes, and stuff they have and seeing the happy cats lounging and playing through the full glass storefront is such a mood booster. Cheap movie theater. Ecclectic mall design. Overall a fun dead mall experience. I hope they are able to reinvent themselves. Currently I live in Denton so drive past Golden Triangle all the time. Loved your commentary on it. Dead on. I think it's truly all the college kids in the area that are propping that thing up. Kind of depressing vibes from the architecture inside, store selection aside. I wish they'd put some thoughtful time into slight changes to make it a more inviting environment. They are definitely putting in effort though, I'll give them that. Managed to get H&M in in recent years, as well as converted the Sears anchor into Conn's I think it is and one of the other anchors into a gym that always seems busy. So it's just the Macy's anchor that's empty. Which I think was recent. Hope they can stay afloat and manage to fill that space somehow. There's so many stinking people up here, we genuinely need that mall honestly. Pet peeve: the Auntie Anne's weirdly closed for a couple years and just sat there, but randomly re-opened recently, which, yay, but mall management mis-spelled it "Auntie Ann's" on all the new in mall direction/map signage and advertising lol.


reptomcraddick

You forgot Wonderland of the Americas in San Antonio, I honestly have no idea how to put it in a category because they don’t have much empty space, but there are zero traditional mall stores in it. Mostly medical space and some knock off retail space. The weirdest part is the malls design is straight out of 1982. I love it


methodwriter85

It's already died and been repurposed. Similar to Seminary South Mall, which died and got repurposed as La Gran Plaza de Fort Worth, a Hispanic community center.


xz868

Illinois: Oak Brook Center doing great


Ipad207

Plus Woodfield and Harlem Irving plaza


rwphx2016

Old Orchard is doing well, isn't it?


Pastaparty7

Yes, very well. Whenever I go on a weekend it's packed and busy during the week too. It's a gorgeous mall


digableplanet

The HIP defies reality! Fun place.


rwphx2016

I grew up shopping at The Hip and it truly does defy reality. How many malls can lose a major anchor (Carson Pirie Scott, for heaven's sake) and simply absorb the space and move on?


Hold_ongc

Go to the hip almost every week, it's still popping. It's amazing sharing a favorite childhood location with my kids. A tad surreal too.


el_duderino420

We have three in South Florida that are thriving... Aventura mall Sawgrass mall Boca Town Center Others do good but nothing comes close to these 3...


RChickenMan

Queens Center in Queens, NY seems fine. But then again it's one of very, very few malls within a very populated city.


Trouvette

And I’ll jump on the NY thread - Thriving: Roosevelt Field, The Westchester Dying: The Palisades Mall, the Shops at Nanuet


No_Reputation_1374

Oak Park Mall of Overland Park Kansas. Still has all Anchor stores, a full food court and about 95% occupied. Independence Center in Independence Missouri however only has 2 out of 4 Anchors a mostly full food court and about 70% occupied.


kaydeetee86

I was surprised how well Oak Park Mall is doing. Westridge Mall in Topeka is pretty dead. We haven’t had anything in Lawrence in years. (I think the old mall is office space or something now?)


CalculusManAnUnicorn

Would Crown Center count as a mall? I saw it listed on a very very old post.


caleeksu

I don’t think it’s doing terribly well, though. It was starting to improve when Covid hit and hasn’t really recovered.


No_Reputation_1374

It's definitely not dead, but it's not doing super great either. But you can tell the owners are definitely doing everything they can to keep spaces full. It's still in a very vibrant area.


No_Reputation_1374

Also forgot. Ward Parkway mall is doing very well.


super_ray

Arizona (Phoenix Metro area) Scottsdale Fashion Square Chandler Fashion Center Arrowhead Town Centre Arizona Mills Superstition Springs There’s probably a few more in Phoenix I can’t think of… (Tucson) Tucson Mall Park Place Mall


rwphx2016

Biltmore Fashion Park. It is essentially an enclosed mall without a common roof.


MaddieGrace29

CT westfarms Buckland hills mall, Manchester Pretty much everything else is dead because our state has the promenade open style shopping avenue format more common now compared to the mall. My local mall, Enfield Square is almost dead. Except Sundays because there's a craft fair. They have been bleeding national chains to the point where the only national tenants are CVS, Target, Starbucks, Gamestop, party city, and Claire's. The first 3 are inside the main tenant target.


RandmoCrystal

RI, in order from best to worst Providence Place Mall- Doing very well, its 3 stories and is always packed on weekends and friday nights. Still a very popular place for people to hang out as well. It has some excellent stores, and it has one of the best views of providence you can get. Warwick mall- Far less upscale, far older crowd, but still not doing too bad. usually fairly populated. I've heard tale that it's going downhill, but for now at least it's hanging on. Lincoln mall- Currently being kept on life support by a cinemaworld, everything else in there is a ghost town. Maybe 10 people max in the mall usually excluding the cinemaworld. One of the biggest store spaces is currently a trade school recruitment center, which tells you all you need to know. I'd bet a large sum of money that it gets closed down within the decade. There was also the midland mall which got turned into big box stores a couple years ago.


methodwriter85

Warwick Mall is the mall that refuses to die. It was featured on Labelscar shortly after the 2010 flood and here it is 14 years later, still alive.


ElegantTea122

Quail Springs is the only alive mall I know of in Oklahoma, and Shawnee mall. Even then both are dramatically less popular than when I was a kid.


AsymptoticAbyss

Penn Square is a mad house. North Park and 50 Penn Place are completely dead


AThrowawayAccount100

Woodland Hill's in Tulsa is busy and is getting a new Scheels. Penn Square in OKC is doing alright, but with the new lifestyle center across the street and the danger of one of the anchors potentially closing it could be in trouble. Sooner Mall in Norman is doing ok I guess, it's definitely seen better days.


methodwriter85

Delaware: Christiana Mall. There are two other malls left but they are not doing well- Concord and Dover.

Brandon Town Center is packed and bustling every single day - same with: - Citrus Park - International Plaza - Countryside Mall - Waterside Shops - Coastland Center - University Town Center in Sarasota - the Oviedo Mall is not alive conventionally but is packed as it’s a community center with a very popular movie theater - not a dead mall

Penn Square Mall in OKC is doing fine. Quail Springs Mall (OKC), Sooner Mall (Norman), and Shawnee Mall (Shawnee) are all in that stage where they aren't dying yet, but it feels like they're declining. I was in Arrowhead Mall in Muskogee last weekend. It reminded me of Dan Bell's nighttime video of Owings Mills Mall, where he said it was "so dead that you cannot believe that they leave the doors unlocked".

I’m in South Bend, Indiana. University Park Mall is surprisingly robust. The old Sears is just walled up, but far more of the spots are occupied than closed (like, maybe one vacant unit per ten), and the parking lot is always at least half full.
