I think mall owners don't like malls. They don't get it. The real problem that shopping malls have is that they allow in businesses that are boring, such as jewelry stores. Sure, jewelry stores pay their bills; but they are holes in the wall. They don't make the malls better.

Running a mall is a very specialized endevour.
If they rent to someone, you can bet that it's valuable
to them. Jewelry is boring to you & me, but women
go nuts in those stores. @Shadow Wolf's DNA can be
found on the counters (from drool).
The problem lately is that malls are becoming obsolete.

My go-to place was Frys. Gone.
Is it? I've only been to one, in Indianapolis, and that was to count their inventory. I have to question their high up management because the store manager at that store was a prime grade A ***** who was too willing and eager to yell and degrade and belittle people.

The malls around here tended to rely on their main department stores as anchors, while the smaller stores could be hit and miss. Two of the larger malls in the area had Sears stores, and another mall had J.C. Penney's and Monkey Ward, but Monkey Ward closed their store at some point. There were other department stores at various times, such as Bullock's, May Company, Goldwater's, Levy's, Foley's, Diamonds, Dillards. Dillards is still around, but the others have come and gone.

Some of those old department stores seemed a bit high-end and even somewhat snooty. Not like Walmart, which seems to embrace the "big tent" philosophy. That must be where everyone went, while the malls started to languish.

Malls were fun in their day, but their day has passed.
