America's Most Endangered Malls

Oak Hollow Mall, High Point, NC

This mall is like 50% or less occupancy. Why is this not on the list.

Seminole Mall

I'm shocked to see that Seminole Mall in Pinellas County (Seminole city) isn't on this list. It's a dead mall and the only time I see people in it are to go to Kmart, the dollar tree, publix, or bealls. But those are outside stores, not in the actual mall. The stores there are stores that the elderly people go to or teenagers looking for something to do (vandilism, theft, etc...) The mall is practically empty. It's not that its in a bad spot, because its not. Its in a really good spot. There's lots of entertainment on the streets that surround it. (parades, etc...) and its a pretty busy street with tons of other popular stores/ locations around it. There's just no interesting stores in the actual mall. It's too bad though, because there's no malls in the area. The next closest mall is 25 miles away or so, and even that mall is having difficulties. The most popular mall is about 45 miles away, and another thats in a different county. They were talking about closing up or rebuilding Seminole mall, but none of it has happened. There's a lot of abandoned store lots where businesses went bankrupt or moved locations. I was sure this mall would have been on the list and was shocked to see it wasn't.

Cincinnati Mall

I really surprised that This mall didnt make the dead mall list. The ONLY reason I've seen people go there is for the bass pro shops store. Otherwise there are no big names stores in there except for the the danberry dollar theatre and showcase.

Palm Beach Mall

At one point IKEA was talking to the owners of the Palm Beach Mall. It would've been a great spot for them since it is right off of I-95. It's too bad that the mall is almost empty. There are tons of other shops and businesses right around it. The owners just stopped putting money into it and the anchors left. It's impossible to make sales in a mall with no anchors.

Richardson Square

Richardson Square isn't even a mall any more. They closed the indoor part and made it a large strip mall. All the good retail has migrated north to Plano, Frisco, and Allen, where the rich people have moved. Richardson is no longer an "upscale" Dallas suburb. Have you seen the million square feet of retail they just plunked down on 75 across from the outlet malls? It's not pretty, but that's how business goes in the Metroplex.

Richardson, TX

What about the Richardson Square Mall in Richardson, TX? What a dump! In the 80's it was the place to shop if you lived in the surrounding cities. Now, it has become the "Discount" mall with retailers like Marshalls, Ross, Stein Mart and such. What a disappointment for the people that live in that neighborhood. Instead of having a nice place to shop and eat, it has turned into gang banger hang out, with robberies, muggings etc....

How about converting them into shelters for the people that have been thrown out of work in the last 2 years and lost their homes.

Oh wait, there wouldn't be any profit in that would there? Have to wait and see if the Chinese or someone will buy it first so the owners can make some money off it.

Like RobYi said, convert them to schools. Oh wait again. Wouldn't be enough profit in that would there?

The selling of America goes on. Ah so comrade!
