The big box stores got killed by internet shopping. They were the anchor stores that brought people to malls.
Also an increasing amount of minorities brought crime to malls.
There were two malls that opened in my hometown within a week of each other back in the '70s. One quickly became known as the white mall, and the other as the black mall.
Guess which one is still around today.

>>75567029
Is this a thing in the US?, dang.
Malls are full power on here
Many factors, including the fact that most mall opening hours are when only people without jobs have time to go to the mall. Also, lack of service in stores; people seem to think they can just put stuff in a room, put up price tags, and other people will come buy the stuff.
Online retail. Most people only go to the mall now to check out new products firsthand. With online reviews that has even lowered. The one good thing is that you can instantly buy the product.
>>75567029
Niggers and Jews
and online shopping seriously fuck those mall taxes, for "maintenance" they say
>>75567955
yeah fucking right there are shitloads of cars at my local mall during the weekends and during the fucking holidays
Shits insane to me that anyone actually still shops at these shitty fucking places but people keep going to them. In CA there is a mall every 4 feet from each other even then most of those places are still going strong too.
I hate those fucking places now.

Anyways, the answer is niggers.
I live in a rural area and for me it was that the mall never had anything that I wanted.
Everything I wanted to buy I had to go online for. Because my hobbies are so esoteric that for instance you couldn't shop around for a good telescope or a good set or organic chemistry glassware.
>>75567029
>What killed the American Shopping Mall?
1) The internet
2) Niggers flooding into suburbia and making it a place for them to loiter and nig about

what kind of kangaroo bait is this
>>75568976
"Through the 1990s, as the neighborhoods around it deteriorated and became unsafe, the mall felt the repercussions. Originally New Orleans East was an upper/middle-class neighborhood with lots of well-heeled subdivisions and several large upscale apartment complexes. When the economy hit the skids in the 1980s with the loss of the oil business, New Orleans East became less affluent and much more section eight. Many of the well-heeled residents fled to the safer confines of the North Shore/Slidell area, which in its boom wound up with its own mall, (North Shore Square), which had many of the same anchors and mall stores as Lake Forest. Sears was the first large anchor to close shop at the Plaza. Despite a major renovation in the late 1980s which replaced the by now drab brown, earth tone tiling to a generic white/aqua color scheme, as well as removed the ice rink, it was too late to save Lake Forest. White flight to Jefferson Parish bolstered Lake Forest's competitor Lakeside Shopping Center in Metairie, LA in the battle for wealthier patrons, although New Orleans East (where Lake Forest was located) had a sizable black lower class population at the time."

It's not unusual to see some malls survive. In many cities in my state, there's only one mall that "survived" and brings in a lot of people while the others are barely living through a couple of niche stores that stood the test of time.
>>75567325
>>75567955
This too. The mall was the place for middle class Americans to buy overpriced shit, but now shopping centers specializing in hand-me-down brand-name clothing (i.e. Ross and Marshall's) are springing up everywhere. Businesses like Victoria Secret are downsizing like crazy because there's no one to buy their expensive, poor-quality crap anymore. The death of the shopping mall is a direct reflection of the death of the middle class.
God these ugly overpriced things suck is it your fault they grew like shrooms around here? I bet. The local faggots caught a glimpse of some retarded fad of yours and decided to cash in. And apparently picked a dying one. Great.

Or the reflection that people are aware that online purchases are cheaper and more convenient. Why would I need to go to Macy's to buy a Ralph Lauren oxford shirt when I can go online and buy one that is on sale and can arrive the next day? Why would I want to do the fucking Christmas shopping spree on waiting in line for hours and spending several days crisscrossing to get stuff when I can just go to Amazon, Newegg, or another online shop?
>>75567029
Niggers, mostly. Online shopping took advantage of the fact people wanted a nigger-free experience.
People used to go to malls just to walk around, socialize. That ended when you had to deal with niggers.

>>75574767
>Online shopping took advantage of the fact people wanted a nigger-free experience.
Hardly. People who wanted a nigger free experience were usually the ones who moved out in the first place. As niggers moved out to the suburbs, whites just moved to better places. You also saw a change of tastes as new generations sprang. Most enjoy outdoor areas then they do indoor areas. That's why you see retailers popping up that take use of that instead of interior malls.
I have a nigger/spic infested mall just 15 mins away. But the whites that use to shop there have vanished LONG before the nigger had control over the place. Niggers are just the final nail in the coffin, not the cause.
>>75575232
This.
Michigan Ave in Chicago (our version of 5th Ave in NYC) lost all its cool stores and businesses like Virgin Records, FAO Schwartz Toy Store (where Tom Hanks played the floor piano in the movie Big), Disney Quest (massive Disney themed VR indoor theme park), Borders Book Store, some badass huge Haunted House themed restaurant I forgot the name of, and so much more. All replaced by teenie bopper preteen pink bullshit and MORE womens clothing stores. Fuck, I remember buying the movie Battle Royale at Virgin Records back in fucking 2003 when the movie was still virtually unheard of. I used to love Michigan Ave, now its a giant snooze fest, except for maybe the Nike store.
>>75575963
Thing is, those stores were replaced by better more convenient stores. Small toy stores were squeezed out by bigger competition like Toys R Us.
Borders lost to Barnes and Noble. Borders was nosediving for years without being able to compete. Of course they're going to be replaced with women clothing stores, how many men do you see use malls? I sure as fuck don't. I been using Amazon ever since I was 13 in 2002.
>>75576387
FAO Schwartz was MASSIVE compared to Toys R Us. To a kid, it was like stepping into Willie Wonkas Chocolate Factory- but for toys and video games instead. Toys R Us in the 90s in Chicago was where all the poor niggers shopped.

Its going down fast now that there is a black on black shooting there weekly now. The crime in the black comnunity is ridiculous, but those lives dont matter i guess...
>>75567777
>>75567791
Confirm on the outlets. They look nicer and are cheaper.
Malls used to be places people socialized at. I grew up in the 90s when they were in much better shape. Me and my friends would go there and check out stores even if we didn't have any money. We'd listen to CDs at the music store, play video games at Babbages (or Gamestop later on), or read magazines and books at the book store. Then you'd go and eat at the food court. A whole day of entertainment for a few dollars spent (minus transportation).
I don't know if kids do that anymore. I get the feeling that teens do the vast majority of their socializing nowadays on their cell phones.
>>75568908
Stores are alive and well here, just not malls. I'd say boutique type shops are doing better than ever. It's shit like The Gap, Spencer's, Hot Topic and dept. stores that are dying. I say good riddance.

Same story everywhere. I went to Baybrook a year ago after not going for like 5 years. It was ridiculous how much it'd changed. Niggers everywhere. Roving packs of "gangsta" spics. Shit kiosks everywhere hawking bootleg jerseys. It's amazing how quick they change.
What's funny is I went to the the Tanger Outlets in La Marque and they were 100x better. For some reason the niggers prefer malls than outlets in their own town.
>>75567670
Deerbrook, Katy Mills, Woodlands, Willowbrook, and Baytown are still active. Not sure how many chimps roam the last 2 malls, but the Galleria is an overrated shit hole.
>>75567187
Malls where I live are basically segregated, there is one where pretty much only white people go to and there is another one where everything is cheaper but only nigs go there because white people don't feel safe going to a place where crack deals are happening in the parking lot.

I was there about 8 months ago and it seemed pretty active, kind of a revolving door for most stores. One of their anchors is moving out, so that may be a corpse now.
Most of the stores that where there when I grew up are gone now for the most part. Looks like a great place for little kids, lots of little shit rides and gymnastic places.

Well, in my town it was the revitalization of our local downtown shops. Some craft brewers and nice restaurants moved in, and now everyone walks down Main Street again like it's the 1950s.
Pretty comfy.
Meanwhile the local mall has been dead for years, has changed hands several times. The JC Penny store is basically the only place still open.
>>75567029

its because in europe shopping mals are fed by a more communal culture (think of plazas in old quarters) and urbanism designed towards humans. unlike usa, where people arent used to community interaction, its urbanism is inert, dead, its car based. You use car to go to work, then go straight home. Malls arent part of the city, theyre dead ends, that when not commerciallly attractive they become cut off

I recently started toying with the idea of opening an entertainment/family fun center in... Africa.
Like, it would have a roller rink, an arcade, a movie theater, and a food court. Obviously they cannot afford to shop regularly, but somewhere that would keep kids off the street and out of gang activity, and would also help softly globalize them through Western media and entertainment.

Some stores will allow you to buy two or three sizes of the same clothes and then give you a free return box.
The mall rent is so high ($200~300/mo per sq ft in most cities), they still make more money doing this than setting up a physical store.

Another reason it failed, in addition to being culturally enriched, was that it had a very dark, uninviting interior which was never updated during its lifespan.

Jesus Christ these pictures look like they were taken in 90's Russia. What happened to out great country, lads?

As if it's a bad thing
This was probably a reason the Westfield mall in Kenya was attacked

KatyMills is still one of the best malls in the Houston area, I go there fairly often. Sometimes there will be a bunch of chubby Mexicans dropping popcorn everywhere (I think when there's free events nearby), but it's still mostly white/asian. And you don't have to worry about someone smashing your car window and stealing your shit while you're gone.

I am a man. I hate shopping. I don't shop, I buy. Malls are for shopping.
So I don't go to the mall, because fuck that place.

Borders was always overpriced $15-$20 for a CD and $25 for a DVD

>Not even in America could they civilize niggers. They are just incapable of understanding western culture and values.
I have no plans of "civilizing" them or helping them understand western values. I'd just give them a bunch of funky music to listen to while roller-skating, simple bleep-bloop video games, and mindless movies to keep them glued in their seats.
Will they still be dumb? Yes. But they'll be more excited, too.

>You realize almost half of Africa is Muslim, right?
Muslims have Dubai.
>And why do you want to be part of globalization?
I would deliberately try and globalize the southern half of Africa in order to deter migrants from heading to Europe.
I well get them doped up on "fun" to the point that they'd rather spend what little money and lifespan they have at my entertainment centers than on making families.
It'll be a millennial-approved genocide.

But most stores price match now.
If I can get the item right away for the same price instead waiting two or more days, of course I'll go to a store

Willowbrook has been massively chimped since hurricane Katrina, as has most of Cypress. Now they have shootouts in the mall & muggings in the parking lot. It's a shame, I used to go there with my friends all the time in highschool. The Baytown Mall is still nice, it's mostly upper-class whites.
New "mall areas" are just congregations of stores in a vicinity that each has an outdoor entrance, so niggers and spics can't just loiter around. Police patrol these areas regularly, thus no nigger problem.
>>75590757
oh shit look at Woodfield in it's prime
ill add my favorite chicagoland dead mall
Dixie Square, Harvey IL
closed in 1979
Blues Brothers tore through it in 1981
it then sat abandoned for another 30 years
completely open to the public, it was an interesting study in deterioration

Go there the other day and it's nothing but clothing stores. Why does there need to be 50 different types of clothing stores but only 1 store of anything else?!
>>75567029
This is the mall from the tim and eric movie
>>75588705
thats makes a lot of sense. for example, i hate going to ikea and thats not even a halfhour ride for me.
>>75591768
Its even worse when you know someone purposefully did it.
Cedar fair intentionally bought it just so they could run into the ground and get rid of their biggest competitor. Now they only have one other competitor in Ohio. Fucking jews
>>75592316
>Go there the other day and it's nothing but clothing stores. Why does there need to be 50 different types of clothing stores but only 1 store of anything else?!
Seriously, people are surprised why Macy's, Kohl's, JC Penny, Tilly's, and others have decreasing sales.
I know Pacsun filed for bankruptcy while Aeropostale is closing 150 stores and The Gap is closing 100
I think I read stores that can't sell their clothes usually recycle them. I'm sure Goodwill and Salvation Army have tons of clothes and probably get some from them.
>>75591149
That looks like the inside of a jail
I work in a mall part time while going to university, can confirm hordes of niggers and other minorities ruin it, at least on the weekends when I'm there. A few days ago I had to call security because a pack of wild niggers were running around my store fucking shit up. Also, the internet.
>>75592758
the profit margin on clothing is ridiculously high.
Jeans cost lest than $1 to manufacture and mere cents to ship into the US.
They sell for $50+.
This is one of the reasons why Trump is correct that manufacturing can be moved back to the US. It will only impact corporate profitability and deflate the stock market bubble.
>>75567029
Probably the internet specially tinder, the mall used to be a place to go and socialize with your friends, eat something, watch a movie, talk shit, even pick some girls, now you can do all that at home and use tinder to call girls and take them to places and no idiot would dare to take them to the mall because it would be overcrawling with superior male competidors that might make her change her mind.
Random reasons on why malls are dying:
>Schoolyard psychology dictating store layouts
"If we force all the buyers to pile on top of each other, it will make the merchandise seem more valuable, amirite?"
>Endless parade of screaming children
Welfare amazons and other dindus love to use men's clothing sections and stores as playgrounds for their spawn. It makes them unusable when you can't shop without some little shit using you as a barrier for their game of tag.
>Lack of sizes for people who have money
My big, fatass has loads of money to burn but a lot of stores can only "order it online" if you want things in your size. I can do that. Why the hell would I bother going to a store if I can't get it in a size that fits and walk out? For regular clothing, I can see stores pulling the usual ab&fitch hobo size shit, but for work wear, this is completely unacceptable.
Honestly, half the time, I just want to buy a pair of slacks or two to replace some worn ones and GTFO.
>>75592316
>>75592758
This. There are simply too many brands selling merchandise that is too similar that are all made in the same Asian sweatshops. There has to be some consolidation at some point.

This is one of the reasons I condone school uniforms.
Gives kids less reason to mindlessly spend on trendy fast-fashion that their peers will hardly see.

I wouldn't doubt you'll find the same Nike clothes in or next to the same building that makes Dixies or Walmart's OP brand. Probably the same machinery and business too.
I do like stores competing with each and finding discounted clothes though. Got some Vans for $21 after a coupon, not even clearance. Might go pick up another pair.
>>75594301
Most of the time they just want to show off too.
>>75577466
Correct. These are called anchor stores; and when they come into trouble and close down, the mall withers with them.

Roaming Trayvons is a good way to describe any Houston area malls, except The Woodlands mall.
>>75567029
shoplifters did and I'd say a large portion of them are black
>>75591550
Yeah until recently I lived on the SE side of town outside the Beltway, so it was too much of a drive for me. Now I live in Fagtrose so it's really not that far. I'll have to check it out.
Malls that get overrun with Youfs cause white flight and the mall now only has a shiftless groups of shoplifters. Mall Rats in the 90s at least brought money even if they were 'seedy' elements, but latino and black kids will just shoplift anything they want instead of buy it like a good goy would do.
Also, malls are just Samevilles. You can walk through a mall and see 10 different clothes stores yet they all have the same prices: why even be different stores? Also candle shops because YUPPIE NEEDS MOAR CANDLES BADLY!
I assume most stores are out of business these days. Like music stores and their fucking jewishly overpriced CDs? Are they ded? I haven't even been to a mall in like 15 years.
Who wants to actually go out to drive to some giant, awful shitheap like that? The only bonus would probably be parking isn't as shitty as it was back when malls actually had business.
From the business standpoint I heard merchants get jewed over hard by the mall's owner to set up shop inside one. A Mall is only good for the guy who owned the real estate.

Why bother? Niggers have no money.
Mall of America is doing great
They're expanding the fucker
Pic is the country's largest indoor amusement park, Nickelodeon Universe. For me though it'll always be Camp Snoopy, themed so being that Charles Schultz was a home town kid

1. Online shopping
>good prices, convenient, and easy
2. Big name stores left malls and set up their own mega facilities
>why?
3. Niggers started fucking up malls
>loud, obnoxious, violent
>drug deals and shootouts
>>75577466
the reason large stores left malls is because white people stopped shopping at them. why is that? because niggers. the only malls that still make any money in my area are in rich white neighborhoods.
>Boston malls in places like Fenway make tons because of location and mostly white tourists
>malls in Newton, Wellesley, and Chestnut Hill are all safe and profitable in 95%+ white neighborhoods with 95%+ white neighborhoods surrounding
>Watertown mall became the nigger mall between 2006-2012 until hipsters kicked them out and saved it
seriously, it was dilapidated and half of it was shut down until the hipsters came in
>none of the towns with minorities as a majority have shopping malls
>Dorchester: no mall
>Roxbury: no mall
the only exception is Chelsea, but the reason their mall exists is because it's where all the whites and polite minorities go. niggers get kicked out by security.

Minnesota. Where the only black people are somalian airport taxi drivers

>Like music stores and their fucking jewishly overpriced CDs?
Digital music is still overpriced and you don't even get anything physical.
Most digital music isn't even FLAC, so they can't claim data use. And lots of music isn't DRM free, so can't blame piracy.
>>75567029

Ontario Mills in Ontario, CA is still alive. A JC Penny outlet store did close, but I'm sure something opened in its place.
They used to have a huge indoor skate park, but it closed.
Virgin Records was probably one of the five biggest stores and it closed. Think it is still empty.
Man this is depressing. I grew up consuming american culture. Movies, TV shows, literature - I grew up aspiring to move there... now I don't even know anymore. I know its probably nostalgic feels or whatever but I feel like I missed out big time
someone explain to me how the 80s and 90s in the US would have sucked please so i can sleep well tonight
>>75567279
>>75567279
That's a signal, not a cause.
A healthy, successful mall wouldn't let in the nigger brands in the first place
They have to though, because whites do all their shopping online but blacks still can't into computers
>>75595639
This.
I buy all of my CD's used since it's so much cheaper than digital.

But just around the corner was the internet at its best, along with games at their best and Cartoon Network at its best and fuck that was a fun time to be a kid.

>tfw old Station Mall was dying for years and years refusing to just give up
>finally the last few places left were bought out
>whole mall and adjacent building that I don't even remember the purpose of were turned into a medical center
It's actually pretty nice. A dozen different types of doctors and a Subway in the center.
Also our regular mall has at least four different bus routes that connect to it, and still hasn't gone to shit, somehow.
>>75596222
>>75596733
That reminds me of the biggest advantage- unlimited local calling meant that you only had to pay connection charges to your net provider. If you lived in the right city that meant a flat monthly rate for unlimited net usage.

Suburban isolation minus the internet was fucking soulkilling. Only worked if you were a popular normie with extremely generous and permissive parents.
If you're the kind of shitfuck who's here hanging out on /pol/, you're the kind of shitfuck who would have spent the 80s and 90s watching those same shitty fucking tv shows and movies (on a 20 inch tube tv, with commercials, on a broadcast schedule) and maybe getting together with your D&D group once every couple of weeks.

A combination of the attraction of online shopping and repulsion of close proximity to spics and niggers a mall brings.
