The Galleria Dallas came about in 2014 when Saks vacated that store. Recall when May merged with Federated well over a decade ago, that began the closure of many legendary department stores. The stores that survived like then family owned Belk was one of the few chains left to fill the empty anchor stores. <br /><br />One of the reasons malls are dying is because anchors pay the biggest rents and when they close it hurts the smaller retailers. Chain reaction. Bon Ton is closing 40 stores next year. There are many upscale department stores left to fill those anchors.

I always thought Von Maur would be a better fit at Phipps (even though its a Midwestern Chain, its pretty upscale) than Belk is.

This mall is being “demalled” all the time. I wonder how long Saks and Nordstrom will stick around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-67824223388752092002017-11-15T10:05:47.814-05:002017-11-15T10:05:47.814-05:00I have read every websites article on this informa...I have read every websites article on this information and I felt this was the most informative/well put together.

I like the idea of a food hall since the old food court was removed, so there may be some nice lunch offerings. However, I do wonder if the rest of the project is a little too ambitious. When you consider traffic and other existing facilities will or even can Buckhead support much more. I fear that every new opening no longer adds to the mix, but just cannibalizes someone else’s business. But, hey, that’s progress… Hamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-25135681345715014142017-11-14T21:08:24.933-05:002017-11-14T21:08:24.933-05:00Surprised that Belk Phipps Plaza lasted as long as...Surprised that Belk Phipps Plaza lasted as long as it did. Belk is a small town retailer outside of NC and imho the only true flagship store that works for them is SouthPark in Charlotte.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-27996668988478576762017-11-14T19:41:44.403-05:002017-11-14T19:41:44.403-05:00Please please let it be Eataly.Please please let it be Eataly.atlduckshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04440541487936818080noreply@blogger.com
