Why did malls die?
Niggers stealing
>>538667371Better question is why were they successful in the first place since they are a retarded concept.
Niggers, unironically.
>>538667371Consumer habits shifting The rise of e commerce Niggers In that order
>>538667371mall waifus shop online
>>538667371They had whole stores dedicated to tape at the mall in the 1980's?I thought that would be like a shelf at a hardware store, or walmart, or if you wanted cheeta print duct tape Hobby Lobby.WTF?
I can only assume its either a bot or a very lonely person making these same threads and the roger stone one day after day week after week. Sad. You know the answer to both, it hasn't and will not change.
>>538667676They had a fuck ton of stores like that. >sam goody>media play>suncoast>tower records>FYE
>>538667371it was peak civilization
>>538667643My friends were like thisThen they grew up and all sucked billionaire and military cop lgbtq dick and now everyone is (F) A K E (A) N D (G) A Y
>>538667568Are they Maybe now with everything so entangled by the internet it seems silly but 40 years ago it made perfect sense to localize consoomer energy Bazars and markets aren’t exactly novel The mall just made it a modern experience
>>538667371Niggers and Amazon
>>538667371NiggersAmazonZoomerfaggots and fat ass Gen x niggers ordering off of Amazon rather then getting off their asses to go to the store. I'm not even gonna green text that I'm so jaded.
>>538667643What ever happened to whatzhisface The sk8 boarder guy
>>538667371flooded with jew bioweapons, turning malls into nasty, ugly, offensive, repugnant, dangerous places.
WalMart?
>>538667371People don't want to spend 150 dollars just to go to a shitty restaurant staffed by mexicans where they'll probably spit in your food, then go watch a ZOGslop movie with Zendaya and hang out with masses of women in hijabs, indians and blacks.
Still the best place to go if u need a bunch of new clothesOr kohls
>>538667371>>538667468>>538667590Niggers, various. Even Amazon couldn't beat Malls if it weren't for niggers ruining the space. People went for the atmosphere, fun, and ability to make a whole family afternoon out of it thanks to shopping, food, games, and usually movies all in one big air conditioned building with your fellow Americans.
>>538667676Cassette tapes. Before CD’s. Basically a record store.
>>538667371There's huge malls in Quebec...they opened a new one in Montreal last year that was super high end; Oliver People's glasses for example. They're packed. $800 for glasses frames...Rich people still have lots of money to spend. But yeah it's retarded. I've been to the huge one in Laval and it's....boring as fuck. There's nothing there worth having. It's all junk. I do wish Microcenter would come to Canada though. :(. Canada Computers sort of sucks.
>>538667676Is that supposed to be a joke or a troll? Audio and video were recorded on tape wound up inside cassettes at the time.
>>538667908Who the fuck goes to movies anymore?I can't even remember the last time I saw a penny arcade. And all the junk food places are dying too...even McD's. People are tapped out.
>>538667900They used to hire young attractive white people, with 0 experience on charisma alone, and pay them enough money that six months paychecks could buy a car.
>>538667371>>538667908Another thing that gets left out of these conversations is the hay day of the mall the 70’s and 80’s retail and production was more localized Meaning people made things more locally /regionally and owned retail businesses that were the same Now consumers goods are made overseas and sold by the same 10 companies that bought out a lot of the shit that got sold at the mall
>>538667910>Cassette tapes. Before CD’s. Basically a record store.I just looked the wiki up on Cassette tapes, and found out they still make them. But I have to stop your bullshit right here anon, records are earned not bought at a store.
>>538668111Well, niggers also ruined movies, so...
>>538667371Amazooooo
>>538667371Nigger Crime, Annoying Niggers, Niggers standing around.
>>538667371if you go outside the USA malls are fucking active as fuck. But they dont have niggers?
>>538667371the internet
>>538668171I have not watched TV on purpose probably since 2015. Any time I accidentally se a TV broadcast every fucking ad is full of niggers. It's like nobody but niggers exist on TV now.
>>538669777Watching Dead Heat (1988) right now, pretty good cheap fun.
>>5386698131987 - 1988 was peak movie
>>538668165This. Kids toys, furniture, anything on Amazon. It's the exact same product made by the same factory but sold under a different "brand" name. Amazon has 10 of the same thing made in China.

>>538667998Ontario is good too. Couple of big ones in my city
The death of the middles class. Everybody had to try and save money by shopping for low prices online
At a mall in London niggers tried to kill and maim random shoppers by dropping furniture 50ft from the top level onto the ground level.
>>538670112You sure they weren't just furniture movers?
>>538667568Lack of home air conditioning. Inability to communicate with friends in a group without meeting up IRL. Shopping by mail being the inferior experience. They made perfect sense at the time.
>>538670044Yes the rise of the multi national and changing business strategies also helped kill the mall As they had boutiques and other mid sized regional businessesThe mall in my home town was built by a company in Detroit and we had quit a few Michigan based stores
>>538667568I guess it was normies way of the “internet” lots of different entities in one location. Nowadays, the internet is an even bigger virtual mall + more. No need for malls unless you’re one of those autist normgroids (ironic really) that doesn’t know what else to do in their life
>>538670112Are niggers demons
>>538667811>mfw having lived through 90's mall era and watching old footage in a darkly lit room
>>538667371Because this moron let COVID into America.
>>538667568>Better question is why were they successfulThey weren't. They were a product of a very specific set of economic conditions in a specific time. It was related to a confluence in loan availability, investment opportunities and broader manufacturing conditions. They nearly all slowly crumbled into disrepair at the same rate because those economic conditions shifted and margins shrunk until it didn't make sense for anyone that would attract customers to rent their units anymore. When the attractive hip businesses left for greener pastures so did the cool moneyed customers who created the environment that attracted poorer windowshoppers and you ended up in a deathspiral where the only people left were annoying ugly fat shitheads who used the place to loiter and get in fights with other annoying ugly fat shitheads.
>>538667811I fucking hated going to the mall. >you don't understand I have to consoomMalls were the reddit of the 90s and 00s
>>538670328malls in USA were different than ones in spicland.
>>538667371Reminder that online shopping was only a single digit percentage of all retail before the pandemic. Malls were in steep decline long before then. Anyone claiming Amazon killed to mall is a jew trying to pull attention away from the demographic cause.
>>538670375Yeah ours used to lack diversity, I guess that's the reason they sucked.
>>538667371Because white kids enjoyed them and were able to associate freely. Cops ran us off 20 years ago and redesigned the whole parking lot just to stop cruising and showing off our vehicles or having meet ups.For a while kids protested by meeting up at the police station parking lots to exercise their right to gather in public, then they banned that. They've been doing lockdown shit for decades against us. Same reason all the shops ended 24hr service.
>>538667371>online shopping being cheaper and more convenient>real estate conglomerates buying up the buildings and jacking the rent into the stratusphere>increased number of brown and junky thieves>less policing of said problem demographicsTake your pick OP.
>produces the nastiest food humanly possibly
Someone is using AI to make videos from those 80s photos. It's both fun and creepy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccqHOY96Ab8

Stand alone low end stores (target) were cheaper and usually much closer than a proper mall. It's in and out.Mega Stores like Wal-Mart/Costco that have everything in one roof, while also being cheaper.Online retail. Better selection, cheaper prices, no travel, no dealing with the crowds or the parking garage. >But niggersNot every area was infested with them and they did not travel like they do now. More importantly laws were actually enforced back then.
>>538667676We had tons of specialty stores before E-commerce and outsourcing went into full force.At it's peak(during my life) in the 90's the mall in my home town of 16k had the following>big box Zellers(canadian version of target)>two pharmacies>a convenience store>an arcade>two bank branches>a tim hortons>a book store>a hobby/trading card/collectibles store>a radioshack>Fabric land, a store specifically for sewing stuff>a furniture store>several clothing stores>a claires(accessories and jeweler)y>a hot topic(same as claires, but for punks/mallgoths)>5 or 6 clothing stores>a jewelery store>a hallmark store that just sold cards and gifty shit>a gift wrapping kiosk>a lottery kiosk>a kiosk for the local dealers who did a free car giveaway every christmas>a giftslop kiosk with a key cutter and an engraver>a food court with a bunch of different restaurants>a day bar for the dads to hang out>one seasonal store plot that sold gift shit at christmas, halloween shit at halloween, and summer shit in the summerand a bunch of other shit I can't recall now
>>538670792Oh wait we had two target-like's who competed with each other, I forgot we had a Kmart for a while too when I was really young.
>>538670592>sborraAmerican cuisine
>>538670792A lot of malls were cozy back then. It feels liminal thinking back how nearly everyone in the two I lived near, whether a customer or employee, were all White. There was a few asians at some Wok restaurant and maybe one hispanic woman at another place but I don't remember any place outside of the food court having anyone but Whites for until like 2007ish. At that time it seemed completely superfluous that they had security guards.
>>538667371Congrats on the 40th thread OP. You're a true autist. https://archive.4plebs.org/_/search/image/CylNxlynuINqTnr8UNgA8A/type/op/
>>538667811>Looking for boysAw, god that's cute.
>>538667371K-shaped economy. It's alive and well in China
>>538667903Half of my wardrobe is from Marshalls because they have a lot of weird shit and short sleeve button-up shirts that Tony Soprano would wear. The other half is Uniqlo or typical White people catalogue brands. I used to go to thrift stores a lot when I was bored, but they seem pretty stripped because everybody is poor as fuck.>>538668111I've seen three lately, and before that it had been years since I watched something on the silver goyim screen. I enjoyed backrooms, though. The rest were faggot goyslop. Super Troopers 3 is coming out next month, and I'm definitely watching that in theaters.
>>538670232Demons probably have higher intellectual faculties than niggers do. But that depends on whether or not you consider Jews to be demons.
gay cruisers, last I went I heard some shuffling in the wheelchair stall that raised my suspicions
>>538667371Why did the middle class die? There's your answer.
>>538667568They were the physical version of Amazon before the internet and smartphones took off and a place to hangout with friends. Amazon is just an online mall.
>>538670592The only good thing I can say about mall food court food is when they bake a fresh batch of Cinnabons. Damn that smells good. Have I ever eaten even one? Nope. Never will. Because if I do....
>>538667371>Why did malls die? Because you are blackand you stole from them
>>538671064>>cozyOakridge Vancouver was super cozy, like in 1960. They had an entire hobby shop on the mall that was nothing but plastic car model kits..
>>538667568People wanted a third space
>>538668166LMAO the big one legit T-Bagged the manlet after shooting him.
>>538670375
Niggers
>>538667468Fpbp.fuck niggers and fuck the faggot op.
>>538667811even the opening of this where the family is leaving NYC for the suburbs its staggering how good any middle to upper middle class broad had it back then, even in a place like NYC.Any broad could pretty much count on having all able bodied males at her beck and call, just because even if not in evidence men would have to assume there might be "children in need of (minor) help" or something.1977 was peak year for Real Wages in USA, especially for middle and lower middle classes. The Jews on nightly TV news called it "misery index", and said Carter was worst POTUS ever.Even in CA, entry level mostly food related jobs went to White teenagers, not Wetbacks. My brother, a top scholar in High School, had a job as bus-boy/dishwasher/janitor at Old Folks Home. I had 3 diff fast food jobs and can think of only one legal semi-ESL Spic co-worker....but at least 3 "very smart" but dropped out of college due to "personality issues".

>>538670063>>538671204you did the thankless important work
>>538667371Walmart and Amazon. People could pick basic consumer grade of almost everything cheaper from a big box store than from specialty stores. Amazon amped that to next level, you could get everything cheaper.>>538667568Basically everything people needed at one destination. All the products for consumers to entertainment like movies. Modern day main street for consumerist car age... back in 60's when so called modern malls started appearing.Most European malls doing fine because those aren't boxes in middle of nowhere.
