We have one there that sticks out in my mind. At the big mall here (north Star). In the early 90's Lord and Taylor pulled out and the mall was losing $ by not having someone in there. They let Mervyn's come in and it was kind of embarrassing to the mall after that. It was/is directly across from Saks and they had a 20 year lease or something. While the mall will be glad to be rid of them, I dont know what they are going to put there, because of the Macy's / Foley's merger, Macy's has announced it will be closing one of those anchors int he mall (Specifically, the Macy's and rebranding the existing Foley's into a Macys.) So the big mall here now has 5 anchor's and will be dropping to 3. Not good timing for them because a 'higher end' mall opens here next weekend, with better stores and a newer look.
