Consumerism is dead in America. No amount of Amazon memes can counter that

i honestly don't care much if malls die. after the first few times trying stuff in person, you can buy the rest online. they're not even that fun in groups if you stay there too long.

I liked malls until I realized how many women looking down their noses at me because I'm a white male (lowest social status there is).

Huge companies that keep pushing their outdated business model because they have no idea how to adapt?

They deserve to die, along glorified fast food chains like Applebees.

Malls are fucking great if you live somewhere with shit weather and need to get out of your apartment for a bit. When I was living in Chicago and Seattle, they were a lifesaver during the winters. I don't know why people are so excited about the death of the shopping mall. They literally dindu nuthin wrong.

Yes, online shopping has killed the notion behind malls

Though, this will affect more of the suburb malls then the malls in cities that have attractions or hype such as the Mall of America, City Creek in SLC, The Forum Shops in Vegas, shopping centers essentially where there's already shit going on around it.

When I lived in KC, the DMV was the only place open in this huge mall. It was actually pretty cool. You had to walk past all the empty Hot Topics, kids play area, etc.

How should they survive in this day and age?
Also, what's wrong with Applebees? I know very little of it.

>>2292159
They should have been smarter with where they went into business and not have a store in every random suburb.

The problem with Applebees and similar restaurants is they they basically just heat up frozen food and expect you to pay a higher price because you sit down and have some shitty service. Then they have the audacity to blame millennials because they would rather go to a locally owned restaurant where they can get better food.

Those restaurants serve glorified TV dinners.

A large part of the closures are the oversupply of commercial property following the financial crisis. Stores saw low interest rates as an opportunity and gobbled up tons of commercial space in areas they probably shouldn't have gone. eCommerce is definitely having an effect but the supply glut of retail is definitely also a factor

Man, those looks awesome.
Malls seemed to be great social centers just by themselves.

Malls are the cancer of man kind.
Hopefully when they die consumerism will die slowly with them.

Replace them with community centers and libraries.

A lot of these idiots live in rural areas where malls are probably miles away and look exactly the same as every other rural mall. It does get boring. The only "fun" and unique malls exist in major cities.

Every mall in my state is like 90% Women's designer clothing stores, I don't even know why any man or child would ever want to be there.

Even the Disney store was downsized to this little cuckshed that only sells Frozen dolls.
