Gateway Mall...
This will be great for Lincoln. However, the last line is what made me mad. "I'd rather have (customers) shop there than drive off to Kansas City or go online," People from Lincoln shouldn't be going to KC, they should be coming to the big "O" What is she thinking? Anyway, here is the story...

Hmm, while that may very well be some of that "Nebraska outside of Omaha bias" everyone keeps clamoring about, you can't deny that KC is a regional shopping hub that offers retail options that aren't available in Omaha.
Even after Jordan Creek, I still find myself going or wanting to go to Minneapolis, Chicago or KC to find things that aren't available here.
That sounds like one heck of a mall makeover. $45 million is no joke, you could even build a no-frills lifestyle center for that cost!

Westfield ShoppingTown Gateway Mall? This sounds like Nebraska Flatwater Metroplex. I'm not a mall person anyway but the times I was there it did seem like it was going in the way of Southroads.
Yeah. I was surprised to see that people would drive to KC before Omaha. Lots of people make the trip to Omaha that live in Lincoln. I know Lincoln gets alot of rural shoppers. My Auburn family will go to SouthPointe or Mall of the Bluffs because they think Omaha malls are to crowded. But if they don't have it anywhere else they will give in and come here.

Its named such because of the Australian company which bought Gateway Mall. Apparently they name all their malls "Westfield Shoppingtown". The "Gateway" was retained to keep the perception that its still your neighborhood friendly Gateway Mall.DTO Luv wrote:Westfield ShoppingTown Gateway Mall?

How long has it been since you have been to Gateway? IT is Nothing like Southroads. Have you been there since you they enclosed the outside portion? That is the point where they turned the corner IMO. They are a good mall, and I enjoy it as much as any Omaha mall. End up in both since I live between the two. Better make the trip to Lincoln some time it sounds like to me.

They are being torn down but only after their new location is finished and they move but are still located at the mall. Move should take place sometime in the spring / summer. Sorry, I do not know exactly where the new location is on mall property but I am guessing it is already started so it should not be hard to spot.

Re: Gateway Mall...
I wish the food court still had an Arby's. Maybe they could put in a Burger King or a Raising Cane's in there?
Re: Gateway Mall...
Some very positive news for them:
Ross Dress for Less has signed to take over the former Forever 21 Space. 23k square feet.
Dillard's just bought the 100,000 square feet former Younkers. It's right next to the Dillard's store that has 150,000 square feet. Will be interesting to see what they do next. I worked at that Younkers store for a time in college and it was weird how you could just open a door and right out of Younkers and into Dillards. At the time the Younkers was a Brandeis and the Dillard's was Miller and Paine.

That was most likely for easy access to Miller and Paine cinnamon rolls originally.Greg S wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 9:38 am Some very positive news for them:

Re: Gateway Mall...
The crazy thing is, I worked on Xmas season at Miller and Paine downtown (I think the final one before they got bought by Dillard's) and never had one of their cinnamon rolls. I didn't have really surplus funds in college, plus at the time had not developed an appreciation for those.nebugeater wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 11:08 amThat was most likely for easy access to Miller and Paine cinnamon rolls originally.Greg S wrote: ↑Fri Aug 14, 2020 9:38 am Some very positive news for them:

Re: Gateway Mall...
It looks like the Sears area of Gatewall Mall might be coming back to life with redevelopment
A couple of little nuggets from the story

A couple of little nuggets from the story
Reserve Development, a Texas-based developer, purchased the space, including the former Sears tire and car repair area that will serve as a Tesla service center.
The $36 million project would bring in three new tenants, that have yet to be announced.
The City said there’s also a separate part of the redevelopment plan that would include the former Meginnis Ford Company Auto Dealership. “It’s a separate owner and a separate developer. And their plans include 70,000 square feet of commercial space, and then 300 living units that would be there, that would be apartments,” Hind said.

Proposed redevelopment plan could bring new life to former Sears store
After sitting empty for five years, a proposed redevelopment project is looking to bring shoppers and new life to a vacant area of Gateway Mall.

Pretty impressive how they are keeping Gateway Mall thriving. This only adds to that. I got an email this week that the Rally House that's going in at the mall is opening soon.

I get to Lincoln a lot but haven't been in Gateway since probably pre COVID.

Yeah the last few years I have rarely left downtown/campus area. I did go do a drive through Pioneers Park in February, and it was as great as I remember.
A few weeks ago youngest was competing in the state high school DECA competition and forgot a couple items so I had to run them down to him. On my way out of town I swung by Gateway to check out the Dillards expanion into the old Younkers store (I worked there my freshman year). Also grabbed lunch at Taco Inn (my freshman year they had one on R St, right off campus).
