Re: JC Penny's

Closing this Penney's is going to just kill that little mall. Gordman's has a store there too. Only thing that will keep it alive is the HyVee. Too bad

Re: Gordman's Business News

If they could ever decide what kind of retailer they are, they may have been successful. Stores like TJ Maxx, Marshall's & Home Goods are growing and other regular retail is shrinking & struggling. I say get out of apparel and concentrate on home decor or go full board off price clothing lik...

Re: Baker's stores spruce up

The other part of the rumor is that they are going to remodel the old Gordmans, ConAgra building next door & move the store into that. Other rumor is Kroger owns land across the street from the Irvington Walmart & they are building there. Who knows?!!!

Re: Westroads Development

With our store, the moves were made when the lease expired & then the owners signed a new one for the new location. We've been lucky that all of the spaces have been good in size and with one exception, good exposure and location. The mall usually waits until leases are up before they move store...

Re: Westroads Development

When we had a store at Mall of the Bluffs, they did give an allowance for remodel but there were trade offs, like a multi-year lease. That was back when GGP still owned it & the mall was in decline. Westroads doesn't do any of that as far as I know. They did do plumbing & electrical for H&am...

Re: Westroads Development

It was the mall that needed us to move. First we were relocated for DSW, then it was House of Hoops & then it was for Rue 21. When H&M was coming in, they tried to move the Afternoon & the owner didn't like any of the spots open, so she closed. She was one of the original tenants when th...

Re: Westroads Development

According to mall management "something" is going in up there, but were tight lipped as to what. That usually means nothing is signed yet. I do know that a "snack" shop that will sell candy, pop & other things is due to open near the food hall soon.
