Retail experts have long sounded the alarm on malls in the US.
But malls are not going extinct, they are merely adapting to a new environment. In fact, many have reported robust occupancy levels and bigger crowds than before the pandemic, according to a recent market analysis from Coresight Research.
My nearest mall has only survived because it pivoted away from retail and is now almost entirely restaurants.
That sounds kinda cool actually. When you’re hungry and don’t know what you want, just walk around until something sounds good!
