I don’t shop at any of these stores. Macys, JC Penney, and Sears are in malls....I don’t do malls. I buy all my clothing and accessories at mainly Nordstrom’s Rack and get designer stuff for usually less than what Target charges for their crap. Buy all my electronics and cables, etc. from Ebay or Amazon for considerably less than what Best Buy or Radio Shack charges.
I am a discerning shopper and have discerned that all these stores are not worth my time. Apparently others agree. lol
Mall stores here are usually overpriced. I only go there for specialty stuff like Bose or a Iphone converter cable not sold elsewhere.
I think its because of the deadmalls phenomenon.
Most enclosed Malls here died in late 1990s to early 2000s leaving a just few mega-malls that grew and grew and grew, and they tailor to those who like to spend more for name.
The Columbia Mall here in Maryland is one of those, it was the subject of national (FNC, CNN ,MSNBC) attention over that weekend shooting a few weeks ago.
