experience. And most of them have a similar layout like this

one, and includes a food court, popular clothing stores, and the

supreme, but department stores are disappearing. And that's

spelling trouble for the standard American Mall. bases

At the anchor close the malls performance began to plummet.

Melissa Repko: It used to be that a lot of those anchor

stores would draw people to the mall. And now if you walk

through many malls, top malls, you see the lines are outside of

different stores stores like Sephora or Lululemon. And some

of the other stores like a Macy's that historically was the

anchor of a mall, in some cases is struggling to get shoppers to

walk through its doors beyond going through to get to the

Unknown: Department stores are struggling to keep up with the

ever changing tastes and demand of younger consumers. But the

slow death of department stores isn't killing all malls, the

that are closing are underperforming or have lost

their own way with the customer. So the brand is not working for

one reason or another. So it's hardly impactful to us. When you

have an obsolete situation or brand close,

the death of the American mall has been a bit overblown. Course

AI research found that retail mall sales grew 11% in 2022 to

nearly $819 billion. Some of these thriving malls have

pivoted toward an experiential model, replacing department

stores with grocery chains, casinos, gyms, ice skating

rinks, and in some cases, even residential apartments. These

new experiences and brands are recapturing America's need for

The aftermath of pandemic, things were a bit more

challenging for more landlord. More store closures. Well, malls

were closed for a period of time suffered from bit more store

malls have bounced back to near pre pandemic occupancy levels as

customers sought out experiences following the Covid shut down.

Department stores haven't been as elastic. For

Melissa Repko: years we've seen a lot of department stores that

have anchored malls struggled to keep up with changing tastes. So

a lot of their shoppers have grown older and they've had a

harder time drawing in younger shoppers with trends and brands

Unknown: another headwind department stores face is the

bifurcation of consumers. Americans can be increasingly

divided into two groups, luxury shoppers, and discount shoppers.

Luxury shoppers are still flocking to higher end malls

in those areas where the most amount of foot traffic the most

amount of income going through your doors, which obviously is

retail, the shrinking middle class and also getting hit by

persistent inflation, leaving them with a smaller

discretionary retail budget. That's bad news for department

stores, and strip malls generally anchored by discount

retailers have been able to further siphon off traffic from

department stores. by attracting deal hunting shoppers we've seen

Melissa Repko: across the country, the retailers that are

opening the most new stores are ones like dollar stores, ones

like off price chains. And those are all in some cases taking a

bite out of department stores because if someone can get a

dress or a pair of shoes that this was similar brand that a

department store carries for less, they may just go to TJ

Maxx or they may go to Marshalls instead of going to Macy's.

Department stores have been hit on all sides, they face

competition that really cuts across the whole retail

industry. On the one hand, they're losing market share to

off price names like TJ Maxx and Marshalls. On the other hand,

they're facing more competition from Amazon and Sheehan and

other players that are online. And they also are losing share

to big box players like target that are selling more throw

competitors have made department stores have to work harder and

left by empty anchor stores easily freeing up 10s of 1000s

transform what these shopping centers are but it's really for

the customer their their journey has been amplified. They want to

take a photo and they want to they want to have their senses

providing all that it's a great approach. You can see it you can

you know, smell the maybe a great restaurant or cleanliness,

clean environment, you can taste great food you can feel the

fabric and you can see other people and so all those things

you know subconsciously when you have a positive experience,

you're those senses are being impacted in a positive way and

you're like, I like that place I want to go there, we've seen

open and then you know, that has exponential positive impact on
