Yep.
Along with daily non-stop passenger service to DCA and ORD.

Pretty sure Amazon can figure it out, bud.

Just throw this out there: Wife (no pics but similar to my sig babe, Lily) and I went to Dillards Outlet over there yesterday. Employees there said mall closing wouldn't affect them, and they'd still be working after the rest of the mall closed. They obviously could have been misinformed or working off old information, but as of 24 hours ago, they believed Cheap Dillards was BAU for the foreseeable future.

Pretty sure Dillard’s owns the building outright and has already sealed the exits going into the mall.

This is correct. The mall property, for some reason, does not include all of the anchor stores.

Good luck finding employees.
It pays well and most of it is automated anyway

My guess is that Godchaux’s, the original tenant, owned the building from when the mall was built and then ownership passed from them to Maison Blanche to Dillard’s after a series of mergers and buyouts.
The original Dillard’s discount location was in Bon Marche because Holmes had signed a 100 year lease and Dillard’s was stuck with it when they bought Holmes, BYW.

It was weird (2 years ago) that the entire facility was pretty much abandoned, yet the floors were fully shined, everything was clean, A/C was blasting, bathrooms were decent, and they had a security presence throughout.

Looks like Gravy is claiming this to be his work.

Him ordering 10000 bowls of dicks to shove up his arse through Amazon got them to put the distribution center there?

This is correct. MoLA is the same way. the 5 anchor stores own the buildings and property they sit on. i remember when JC Penny's was built, there was an issue because one end of the building was 7' into the MoLA property.

Well, there are no stores open. Only things that were active were the army recruiter and the post office. but you should still be able to walk around yeah. It’s hot. No music. Smells. And all around sad

The little tent building by Costco is called a delivery station. The Cortana space will be a Distribution Center or Fulfillment Center. They serve two different purposes. They are not related. Amazon is still looking for a site to build a permanent delivery station.
There will be no deliveries from a Distribution Center/Fulfillment Center.

Yup...all.of their fulfillment centers here in Washington State..mainly in King County have a deplorable reputation for being slave drivers and not paying but $2 more than the minimum wage in Washington. Turnover is over 230% a year on average...that of which will eventually bite them on the arse with customer service.

Yeah, people should just sit on their arse and collect unemployment and welfare instead.

I wonder if malls did this in the past as a financing scheme to help with the initial cost cost of the mall.
So let’s say back in the 70s when built, you bought the site for a million, then you turn around and sell the anchors for a million each, if there are 4 anchors, you now have 3 million extra to use for construction or profit.
What is crazy about the ownership issue is that, I learned this because of the St. George Issue with Mall of Louisiana. Didn’t the city take the mall, but the anchors wanted no part of it?
