Ghost Malls: Coming to Your Town

While there will be some loss of stores in malls, there are stores who are looking to expand as well. Not everyone is doing poorly. I do think we will see some small strips going dark, however the likelyhood that a major mall will be a ghost town is highly unlikely. You might see a few more dark storefronts for a while, you are not going to see enclosed malls going dark. We need to be realistic about what is happening, but we also need to be careful to not buy in to the radical doom and gloom you hear everyday. You don't want to have a self fulfilling prophecy.
