What killed malls?
>>
>>531230682
Super Wal Mart. They put one beside almost every mall in America, within a few blocks. It killed the mall I grew up in, and even in Colorado Springs where I live now, there is a nice mall called Chapel Hills Mall still existing, but the Walmart is literally right next door to it.
People began to browse the mall, but buy everything from Wal Mart.
Most will say Amazon did it and stuff like that, but Wal Mart killed all the malls before Amazon was even really a thing.
Later Amazon hurt Wal Mart some but not enough to shut them down.

No niggers didn't kill malls. Again I live in Colorado Springs and there's another mall called the Citadel. It is nigger central. Extremely crowded, lots of crime happening just nearby, I saw nigger kids playing in the food court fountain like swimming around in it.
That mall still exists. I don't see how.
It's like walking around Detroit or something.
I was there when all the malls shut down I was around 18 years old.
I saw it happen. It was the Wal Marts they put right next door to the malls.

>>531230682
Malls aren't dead, they're just segregated into white malls and nigger malls. White malls are still thriving whereas the malls where white people USED to go to, which are now nigger malls, are empty, businesses shut down, loiterers kicked out, and security became too expensive.

malls are doing fine in most major cities, what killed malls was the fact that middle america built like a billion of them in the 1980s when everyone had tons of time and money to piss away at them.

people will blame amazon and walmart but in reality the amount of malls america had was not sustainable

the dude who invented the mall in post ww2 america was an austrian(also a jew) and he wanted to design a way to reinvent the old worlds town core. its a shame the idea failed because living in north america the number one reason that suburbs fucking suck is they are so isolating and atomizing. it could probably be done if it was under the framework of public land/parks instead of private business where its emphasis is on healthy third spaces and activities instead of just spending your fake goybucks on plastic shit from china

In Croatia malls are doing pretty good. Many are almost or literally 100% occupied, few are expanding. I know 1 is completely empty and abandoned, while 2 are like occupied 25% or below, but that's because of their shitty location and management that couldn't manage the finances. We also have 3 fake city outlets, all around the capital, 1 is almost closed, 1 is closed and repurposed as warehouse space and a large print shop for jerseys and outlet shop for sports wear. What's really rapidly expanding are retail parks. There's like 1 opening each month somewhere in Croatia, with footprint of around 6000 to 15000 square meters of space. Physical shops are still doing well here.

Third world countries malls are still popular. First world countries no because we have internet access at home and almost everyone ships to US
>>
>>531230682
The increasing convenience of not having to go outside for anything. Most of the US isn't walkable, even if it is, it's insane to go and walk around when there are retarded niggers everywhere. The thing most people did was go grocery shopping but nowadays you can pay someone to buy the shit for you and get it delivered to your home. Entertainment is mostly online streaming services like Netflix, anything else you need to buy can be ordered online. MAYBE take a trip to a Walmart, at best. Malls are irrelevant because of the immediate availability of everything all at the same time.

If you live in a small town or something that doesn't have these kind of deliveries then sure, those people will go out to a store to buy stuff but otherwise no. My aunt lives in Florida and she stopped grocery shopping after work and just got it delivered, plus she works hybrid so most of the time she doesn't have to leave the house. It's many factors, malls were probably always gonna die.

Personally, they removed the fun stuff.
Arcades, Movie Theaters, Hobby Shops, Record stores, Computer shops, etc.
The clothing stores with high markups were fine for women, but that's half the population.

But they seem to be bringing those back. Malls that are still open, have added bowling alleys with arcades, anime shops, etc.

It used to be a great teen hangout too. Now, require adult supervision due to teen gangs, theft, etc.

>>
>>531231155
The sign is a subtle joke. The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where "feed" and "seed" both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Feeduck and Seeduck".

They don’t sell anything for men or even men with eccentric tastes. It’s just basic shit like regular blue jeans, a pair of socks, and the rest is clothing for underage teenagers. What the fuck am I’m going to do? Go shopping at Hot Topic as a 36 year-old man? There’s nothing to buy at malls.

Chink shit in Amazon has a more interesting selection just for a pair of jeans.

The honest answer is niggers.

Once you started getting groups of niggers walking around the mall, white people stopped going. They stopped dropping their teenagers off to hang out there. White people have money to buy things, which is what stores in the mall need to attract, and niggers don't.

There's a local mall to me (Raleigh) and there was a gang shooting on opening night. There were violent incidents there all the time. The mall management met in secret with local gang leaders to try to get them to stop the violence at the mall, but niggers don't understand reasonable requests or why a mall is important to an area, so it did no good. It has a lot of vacancies today, has lost multiple anchors, and isn't long for this world.

Not surprisingly, we have another mall that was great, hit a slump, but seems to have bounced back. Do you know what the catalyst was for the recovery? It wasn't the economy. It wasn't getting new stores. IT WAS REMOVING THE FUCKING BUS STOP. They got the bus stop removed and things started improving. Buses bring niggers. The mall recognized this and took action.

I see a lot of complaints on facebook where people are pointing this out now. For far too long, people were so afraid of being called a racist that they wouldn't say these things. Now, after watching store after store, business after business, restaurant after restaurant, close in their local area, they're finally speaking out about why this is happening. Should have done it sooner.

>people will blame amazon and walmart but in reality the amount of malls america had was not sustainable
This is correct. The whole shopping mall system was completely broken long before the internet eliminated so many brick and mortar stores. Shopping malls had stopped being about retail sales and started being about financialization bullshit much earlier. People still went to malls to buy shit because you couldn't just order everything online yet. It was already an extremely broken and retarded system, but no one realized it because you would go to a mall and see people walking around buying shit and it made it seem like that was the reason the mall was there.
But then people stopped going to malls because they started going online and ordering the kinds of things that they used to buy in malls.

>he wanted to design a way to reinvent the old worlds town core.

In australia malls are thriving and I think a big part of that is that they put grocery stores in them. Want to go to aldi? Gonna have to go into a mall and walk past a dollar store, shoe store, coffee shop, restaurants, butcher, an Asian grocery store, etc.

In the US we don't have grocery stores IN malls. I have seen malls anchored by grocery stores, rarely, but they always have an external primary entrance, and since covid the mall entrances have been closed for some reason. I can see why grocery stores would want this, you dont want customers to walk past a butcher to get to your store, etc. Often times grocery stores will build entirely new buildings rather than occupy a vacant storefront so they never end up in malls. Grocery stores would be good for malls but malls are probably not good for grocery stores.

Also millennials stopped finding malls trendy once they were old enough to move out of the suburbs. Anything associated with the 'burbs, from Applebees to Macy's, became something of mockery.
All you had left was excessive infrastructure to house stores that no one over 25 wanted to shop at.

They weren't bad for boomers. DUIs were a slap on the wrist and not nearly as taboo, so they just drove to and from bars on weekend nights or after work. They also had lively malls.
For millennials, they're like literal prisons though. That's what all the "hustle and bustle" and raving about "walkable cities" is really about. DUI laws and the disappearance of a town square has turned the burbs into social desserts.

Another thing I want to point out that many probably don't know (unless they've operated a retail location) is that mall's don't understand leasing economics. Let me share some quick stats so you can get the idea.

A mall cart at my local mall (Raleigh) costs $2800 per month. These are small and you will be limited in what you can sell. If you sell incense then you can only sell incense and incense accessories, and it all has to be approved by the mall management.

A mall kiosk, which is slightly bigger, runs $5000. You generally have to bring your own kiosk ($10,000+) and go through city permits for months before you can even open. The mall limits what you can sell there. More space than a cart, nowhere near what an in-line store has.

A mall store, like FYE or Gamestop or Camelot Music, is 10-15k per month. There's less limitations on what you can sell, but you're still limited to related product categories. If there's a Gamestop in the mall then they probably won't let you open a retro gaming store.

Now let's go to any strip mall in the city. These run $10 per square foot PER YEAR. So a 1000 square foot store in a strip mall is $10000 PER YEAR. Broken down it comes out to $833 per month. Zero limitations on what you can sell. Open and close whenever you want. No fines for opening late or closing early.

Which one would you choose? The mall used to command higher prices because they provided more traffic. That's changed, but the prices remain the same. At this point, malls should be offering rent so low that it would be impossible to not open. Those hot mall office workers should be blowing potential leasers and straight up fucking current tenants to get them to renew.

Only caveat to having a store in the mall is that carts, kiosks, and some of the in-line stores attract the most unstable bitches on the planet as employees. You can get balls deep in conflicted pussy daily. Most of them are hot, too. Dumb as shit, but hot as fuck.

I have to say this again.
in the 1980s when I was a Teen most teens didn't own cars in my town. even the rich kids had to borrow their parents cars or they had a beat up car or working on a muscle car. so we did a fuck load of walking and every weekend we went to the mall at night. to the malls theater. girls had to phone home by 10pm and beg to be allowed to stay out till 11pm. it was so rituralistic. usually moms said No but they would give them til 10:30 to be in front of the theater which we had to run like half a mile or more to take them back before mom showed up. Reason we never went to the actual movies we just would go to the beach or someones house and drink alcohol

I miss my youth. but honestly if I knew the world would turn out this way, I would of paid more attention to investing in internet stock if I could go back.

the world sucks. Im broke for my old age and college Retirement and work part time.

once you've been to one mall once, that's it, that's the experience. exact same stores in every mall for decades with the same stuff. you're not really going to browse around recreationally or see what's new because you already know exactly what's there. maybe if they set aside a percentage of stores for small local quirky fun shops that would naturally have a high turnover rate then there'd be something new worth checking out the mall now and again. the mall is ok for clothes shopping though, since maybe you want to try stuff on, cant do that online, and theres multiple shops under one roof, makes sense to go to the mall for that.

they should convert the malls to indoor red light districts.

the inventor of the mall cursed his invention before dying. but its not his fault, his vision of what he wanted the malls to be was a good one. but corporate had other ideas and focused entirely on maximizing retail sales and moving customers in and out quickly, which worked financially for a while until it didn't. the original idea of the mall with all the facilities of a town square where people would have reason to go there even if they werent shopping, would make less profit short term, but would have been more sustainable and enriching.
