Dying Retail
США
Добавлен 3 ноя 2019
We are witnessing more enclosed shopping malls disappear across America. One day, there won’t be anything for the younger generations to see of them. Which is why I created this channel. To explore and document these retail institutions before they’re gone forever as well as give a history of the location.

Barnes left last year. Hear there are plans for the facility once the rest of the retailers contracts expire. Went there this weekend. It was dead.

Wendy's in TN never do that. They give you your drink end straw first
Wow
This is Nordstrom 3:44 This is Dillards 27:10
Looks similar to MacArthur
This is SO weird. My mom took me there idk... Couldn't have been more than a few years ago on my birthday and she took me shopping. And I was there for my birthday this year and I think it was still open, the woman at the Hilton was saying it was a ghost town but there was still shopping there. Are they demoing it? I think I was in high school when it opened.
They missed😂. Honestly, i am going to miss this movie theater. If they tear down MacArthur center in the future, and there is a good chance of that happening, the only other theater in Norfolk would be the Naro. I think the base might have a theater, but i cant get on the base without a sponser. To be fair, i haven't been to a movie theater in a long time, and probably wont go any time soon. It doesn't appeal to me like it did when i was in high school.
I was just there yesterday. The only reason I go anymore is to use the money exchange kiosk to buy foreign currency when I travel overseas. There were more security guards than shoppers It's a mall that should have never been built in the first place. It is a high end mall in a low rent area built when malls were already past their prime. I don't think it ever got over 80% occupancy at any point in its life
Good grief, shoppers from Richmond VA used to make the journey to shop here.
@@wendyalexander1893 really? They must have been desperate for that drive.
@@DyingRetail I hear ya. But it was billed as a cool place to shop and eat; good restaurants. Back then Richmond was lacking.
@@wendyalexander1893 understandable.
So many memories there,I work at 2 retailers there Software etc which became gamestop and Jcpenny
@@leorys6207 I had forgotten about Software Etc.
I definitely remember driving around there for portal keys 🤣
@DyingRetail it was a good company before it became Gamestop, I worked there from '00-'03
I have to say, I prefer the food court being on the upper level. But I'm old school.
@@brucesi I wished they had kept it and the carrousel too.
Any word on when they're demolishing the JCP/Sears side?
@@brucesi No word. They were supposed to have done that last year according to their last press release. JCPenney didn’t leave. The owners didn’t renew lease. Stupid if you ask me.
@@DyingRetail I've been in and out of the area. I moved back briefly in 2018 and they were talking about it then. Talk of some demolishing, new restaurants, a brewery, a warehouse (for jobs), and senior living. So far the only thing I've seen is the old movie theater being demolished.
@@brucesi yeah. That’s gone and the VA is building a services building there now. I really don’t know what they are doing next. I wonder if the economy is halting what they were going to do. Did you see the video walkthrough I did Feb last year?
@@DyingRetail yep! Saw that a while back. That was a good one.
@@brucesi that’s probably the most up to date info in that video.
Thanks for the awesome shout out😊
@@scottuncfan welcome
Can you please use a different sound tract? Its so fing depressive like someone died. Memories of the past should be joyful.
@@allaboutroofing2 but this is the present
Amazon and other delivery companies ruined malls they will never return unfortunately. Time always changes
@@AgentSquiddy there’s more to it than online shopping.
@DyingRetail I agree but I think that's definitely a significant role . But malls have been going downhill for like 10 years or so at least
@@AgentSquiddy you have to look at other factors as well. Overmalling. Mall properties put up for collateral for cheap loans and then going under when rates hiked… it’s more than just online shopping.
@DyingRetail I didn't think about some of what you said then social media definitely plays a roll , consoles eliminating arcades stuff like that too . P
@@AgentSquiddy it’s a murky web for sure. :)
Maybe he shall return...
This is because everyone killed these stores with online shopping.
@@TheNuckinFoob sure had nothing to do with the overpriced goods $40 t shirts etc lmfao or ba business practices because the malls here still booming but go head blame it on the consumer not the retail stores that have been making record profits over the years and steady raising price even during a recession and high levels of inflation which is actually there price gauging but sure it's the custmers surving off scraps that causes it lmfao
Wrong
Looks like the left 4 dead 2 mall Lmao
I noticed that. Also, a few other restaurants do it as well, like cookout, for example. It makes me nervous because I don't know if I get my straw until I feel pressured to pull forward so the next guy can get served.
@@kazeryu17 seems would be good customer service to give the straw also.
HELLO WENDY’S Where’s the straw Just a joke
@@FESPerson2974 yep :)
That is a good idea putting a casino there.
If you can't keep an Apple store that's really sad. There have been too many shootings there that has made it unsafe to shop there.
@@joeschmoe5231 Apple left after the shootout and murder in the mall.
That was the place to be back in the early 2000s. Although I mostly just went there for the movies.
@@brucesi that and the Apple Store for me :) I went more before the tunnel tolls were in place.
Did you know that H&M is taking part of the place of Radio Shack
@@FESPerson2974 didn’t know that. Not surprised.
Going to Orange Julius as a kid with my mom - right there in the center of the mall will live on in my memories until I die.
@@HUMCHEE that’s where Tollhouse went, correct?
@@DyingRetail You got it!
@@HUMCHEE thanks. That’s what I thought.
Very sad video. You are correct that there hasn't been crime there. That whole area is pretty upscale and super safe. There is a lot of both old and new money in Richmond, especially in the more suburban areas and Stony Point shoppers definitely had money. Honestly online shopping is a huge factor killing these malls. I know I used to love going to the mall, especially Stony Point. I couldn't afford most of the stores. It was just pretty to walk around. Now I shop online these days. Short pump mall was always better and not as upscale. Oddly enough I was told that the more "old school typical mall" Chesterfield has been super crowded recently. So it would seem the clientele that would shop as upscale malls like Stony Point either go to Northern VA to shop or just go online.
@@zsuzsuspetals location is what hurts the most it seems.
I did remember this mall had on the round ceiling They had Aqua Neon Lights up there that really gives it more 80s vibe until sadly they removed them during the remodel/renovation I don’t really like how they removed neon lights it’s makes the ceiling more bland But most of the mall I love hearing the beat of the music through the speakers just echoing around the mall really gets it more into the vibe so it’s stands out
@@FESPerson2974 which sucks they removed that.
20:17 They are very glitchy Probably a malfunction or it’s old I remember it’s worked last time when I was there last year
@@FESPerson2974 It’s sad. It’s things like that which makes you feel management doesn’t care but at least the elevator and escalators were working for a change.
@@DyingRetail they had one job
Ha ha ha.
Greenbrier Mall is trying hard This mall doesn’t deserve to die
@@FESPerson2974 I feel it will hang on better than Chesapeake Square but I could be wrong. I think the city shot themselves in the foot by not letting Rosie’s gaming move into the old Sears.
These mall don’t deserve to be dying at all
@@FESPerson2974 No they don’t. What’s amazing is malls are dying here but seem to be thriving pretty well over in Europe I hear.
Lynnhavan Mall was opened in 1981 then remodel in 2013
@@FESPerson2974 2013? I was thinking earlier.
I heard what you said about when you worked at Hecht’s, and co-workers felt like family. Honestly, I don’t think it was the store per se … as much as it was the “Times.” Jobs actually felt like a 2nd family back then. Great memories! These times, in the majority of businesses, the camaraderie within the workplace has shifted. It’s definitely nowhere near the same vibe as back in the day. - Okay, that was my 2nd comment on this specific video, and I am looking thirsty 😂… so no more comments for me. 🤣 Nevertheless, Greenbrier Mall, really holds some deep rooted and emotional memories for me. Don’t get me wrong- I was touched by some of your other featured malls… but this one was my teen life merging into my adulthood period! A different kind of special! ❤️🥲 -Thanks Keith.
@@50plus_withYvette you’re welcome. Reply as much as you want LOL! No. In the department store it was that feeling. Other places of employment I had during that time it was not the same. Jobs today, you’re correct. Nothing like the old days.
Hey Keith. I didn’t even know about the store Profits being where the store is now Dillards. My first job was at Greenbrier MalI. I worked at Deb’s clothing store in 1988 or ‘89. Back then the Dillards location was, Sears. 😂 Wow - I am officially and publicly showing my age. Great memories. Love your channel Keith. Blessings!
@@50plus_withYvette I don’t remember anything on the Sears side except for Sears. I am pretty sure it was Profits before Dillard’s but was on that corner of the mall. I need to look at some old maps. It has been so long now maybe I am mixed up :LOL! We may have passed each other in the mall LOL!
I've been here a couple times in the last few months, mainly to check out Box Lunch & FYE. It was pretty busy, which is nice to see.
@@CartoonCF It is. Reminds me of the 80’s and 90’s.
Sad !
@@delaneaharper3074 I know.
It has a lot of potential
@@michaelstevick7759 If done right you are correct :)
I'm glad to see you back! Your videos rock! It's sad a lot of Hampton Roads malls went away, but it's good to see Lynnhaven is still alive. I come to your RUclips channel for nostalgia of when I remember how the malls used to look back in the day lol. Malls in Hampton Roads in the 90s to early 2000's were the best
@@sharksisland9964 Appreciate the kind words. I am hoping that sometime this year I can go off exploring more but for now… these live streams will have to do.
Let's just say " undesirables " ruined the mall like everything else. When the Goodyear plant shuts down and it will, the great government we have can purchase it and turn it into a big section 8 property. Equipped with their own soup kitchen and health clinic. That will eliminate some of the crazy transport services all over Danville. Have a police station in there as well. To keep down the drugs and crime. Yes, we can Danville!!!!! LOL .
Surprised they didn’t put the casino in there.
Glad this place is doing well.
@@slowblueoval1997 I’m know. It’s nice to not feel depressed going into one :)
Patrick Henry seemed to have a downturn for like 5 years or so where it seemed always very empty but in the past few years any time I've been there it's been packed. More vacant spaces than back in it's prime but still tons of stores open.
Agreed. Lot of foot traffic.
I love Lynnhaven mall. I still go to Greenbrier and it seems busier than it used to a year ago. I wish more stores would open up to bring more business to it.
@@michaelstevick7759 maybe management is now trying to breathe more life into Greenbrier. I hope that’s true.
