How long until Mall of Louisiana ends up like Cortana

With retail business dying out and online shopping is much easier for the typical lazy American. How long do you think it will be until the Mall of Louisiana ends up like Cortana.
Run down, vacant retail spaces, bad crowds
It will happen eventually

Last time I went circa 2010 it was a bunch of Aloha Snackbars there so I would say it’s equally as bad if not worse.

Whenever St George builds a new one.

Malls in general are struggling but the real reason for the decline in Cortana was two-fold. A new mall opened up in a better part of town was the first reason. Since there was a precedent with Bon Marche folding awhile after Cortana opened that seemed like a foregone conclusion. The second was the area around Cortana and Florida Blvd, which was once a great area turned slightly worse. The bluebonnet area is still fine and people still need malls and there is no new mall yet so I would say the mall will be fine for the time being.

Well, the problems that plagued cortana have migrated over to the mall of Louisiana. It was apparent shortly after it was built that this would be a problem. But now it’s become so bad that it’s fate is likely sealed. The problems have also made their way to juban crossing. However, juban crossing is an outdoor mall. Should stop a lot of the loitering.

I know the guy that owns the smoothie king in food court and he can't wait to get out of his lease. He says it's losing money and the mall isn't bringing in good crowds being mostly jewelry, sneaker, and sports jersey stores

Is the Mall in BR or StG? That’ll determine the answer.

Its location will protect it for a while.

It won't unless a new mall opens up.

To be honest, I haven't set foot in the Mall of Louisiana since about 2005. My wife (no pics) and I went there all of the time circa 1999-2000. They had some great stores in there then, like Learning Smiths, World of Science, Spencers, the bookstore, music store, and some kind of place that sold Louisiana themed stuff. It was great. The only things I know about it now is what I read here and see on the news when something bad happens.
The only mall I've seen doing decent in recent years is Lakeside over the Causeway. Cortana has long been dead. The Slidell and Hammond malls are dead. It seems like that only one mall can survive for every 500,000-1,000,000 people or so. Maybe even more than that. You figure 330 million people equals 330-660 viable malls in the country, meaning 6 to 12 malls, on average, per state, if spread out enough, could survive.

I am sure you are hoping it will end up that way as soon as possible. People like you that start these counterproductive threads need psychological evaluations. Are you hoping BR and the whole region go to shite except around your little hovel?

went one saturday with the family. We have 2 toddlers. They were scared to death at all the ripping and screaming going on in the common areas. It smelled like cigar/cigarette smoke and B.o. We won't ever go back unless we absolutely have to.

I recently walked thru the mall of la around noon on a monday. The parking lots were pretty full. The crowd wasn't bad at all. Frankly I was pleasantly surprised and happy it hasn't turned to shite. It was actually kind of nice.

sooner rather than later - retail is having to shift. Perkins Rowe type stuff should do fine and stuff with more upscale stores or neighborhood stuff with restaurants, fitness type stuff.
Basically "retail" that you can't buy on amazon OR retailers which area also selling some sort of shopping experience.

Eliminate (remove) the public bus stops around the MOLA.

Let's see....I'd say around 7:30 PM.

Malls in this area are like control structures along the Miss River: You build one with the understanding you'll eventually have to build another one a little further away....

At some point EBR is going to have to sell it back to St. George to pay its bills.
