All the malls in the area seem to be booming. I’m from Savannah, GA and there are two indoor malls. One is god damn dead like no GameStop, no American Eagle, Hollister or similar store, and even the sbarros packed up and left. The other mall was starting to lose a lot of stores, but the Target and Bass Pro kept some people coming. Still nothing compared to what it was.

Then I move to Chester and see mall in Colonial Heights, Chesterfield, Short Pump, Stony Point all packed with stores and people. I have no idea what this area does to keep all of them busy.

No one has ever accused Stony Point of being packed with people and stores.

southpark (colonial heights) is kept alive by fort lee. chesterfield town center and short pump seem to be rarities as far as modern malls and are really healthy. i have no idea about stony point because i only went once and remember seeing tiffany's and some other stuff and laughed at the fact that i thought i'd be able to afford anything and left. never went back.

CTC has almost died a few times, the transition into a “lower end” mall saved it.

What makes it a lower end mall, if it has the same amount stuff as any normal mall?

Does it? Home goods, tj max? Short Pump is obviously a upper middle class mall in comparison.
