New Waterford Scoop!
Four food court tenants have closed their doors at Crystal Mall in Waterford! The struggling mall has lost Charleys Cheesesteaks, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and Subway restaurants. The only remaining food court tenants include Dairy Queen, Wok Express, and Sarku Japan. The mall has struggled in recent years. After undergoing significant renovations in 2012, many retailers had updated their stores to their current prototypes. In recent years, many popular chains have closed up shop including Old Navy, J Jill, Dressbarn, Abercrombie, Loft, Starbucks, Champs, Gap, Zumiez, EbLens, H&M, and many more. The mall was hit with more bad luck when Macy’s, Sears, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Christmas Tree Shop all closed their anchor stores. Plans were explored to redevelop Sears into a food hall and new retail space, these plans fell through after a sale earlier this year. I’ve attached some renderings of what was originally planned. The mall sold earlier this year. Simon Property Group walked away from the sickly mall, selling to Namdar, a large dead-mall owner known to let their malls decay. Do you think the mall could spring back to life? Have you ever shopped here? Comment below!
