Why did malls die?
Why did malls die?
Online shopping. Primarily Amazon. My mall was surprisingly filled up during the holidays though
niggers
amazon, etc.
2008 recession sped things up a lot and it got expensive for teens to loiter around malls because of gas prices and such.

How was your break IDF?
brick and mortal is still competitive and has been growing lmao
niggers
Amazon
amazon and online shopping, mostly
kinda sad to see
I don't believe you
Because american suburbs were a mistake. I don't wanna drive by miles and miles of tradies and usury to go buy something americans can't make.
This is the real answer. People saying "amazon" are clueless. If you wanted to plan a party, you're not going to get the stuff online, you'll go to a store and browse the selection. The problem is that a lot of shopping in malls was incidental to the hanging out of people, i.e. people congregate and meet to do something at the mall, then shop after... but you'll stop doing that the more subhuman start loitering hoping for a chance to mug people or to refill validation.

I'm working a mall right now... Food court is full. if your mall has shops that cater for boomer women (nails, hair, boutique clothes, alcohol, medication) your mall is not going anywhere.

I live in a MAGA area of Florida and the premium retail stores are thriving but I imagine that's not representative of most of the country
actually niggers/browns forced people to shop online, malls were places people go to without a reason

Tucked in his shirt under the shorts too...damn what a guy.
Also the white dude with the norwood hairline kek
Amazon. Niggers.

uhhhhh I call bullshit, most shopping malls have been long dead, retail stores are what u call "lost leaders"

not so much Amazon as the normalization of free shipping and returns for clothing. There's just no reason for me to drive to a mall anymore.
Anon Babble and the bots answer will be niggers but amazon and niggers is the correct answer
I didn't mean average malls I meant premium shopping centers. Poor people malls are still full of nwords and dying.
which was the style at the time.
malls died all the time before amazon
premium shopping centers
Yea those places are NOT malls, u brainlet
malls died all the time before amazon
I swear this board is run by 18-20s

The thread was answered and completed here.
jews observed that shopping malls created togetherness instead of division
white country need more foreign workers for some reason thats why they can barely get job as fast food chains how will they run malls. its all downhill from here.

I live in a town of around 25,000 people and our mall was 90% dead. My old boss’s BBQ restaurant went out of business during covid so last year he opened a beer and wine and appetizers bar in the mall and it completely rejuvenated the entire place and the mall is a hangout spot for all ages again. The movie theater was dead but now guys will leave the theater and chug a beer and go back and the theater is thriving again.
Amazon killed them.

This. I was a teenager in the 80s, everyone dressed stupidly. But at least we got to have fun. We’d play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the stormwater tunnels and drink Brass Monkey in the park. They’ve sucked all the spirit out of young people and I feel bad for them..
Insane landlords that can't understand a hole in the wall shop can't pay a $50,000 lease a month.
Remember when the mall had plants? And fish ponds? We can't have shit anymore.
They dont ban niggers who terrorize shoppers
wdym die? where I live there's like at least 6 malls, big ones too
don't forget mexcrements
who was it breaking the plants and fucking around with the ponds
Spbp was waiting for this. Bless you anon.

Truth. My hometown had 3 malls and people just kinda stopped going to 2 of them over the years because they became ghetto with black and brown people starting fights and shooting each other in the parking lot. There's still one "nice" one left in an upper class suburb but thanks to more "diverse" clientele, it's going downhill too.
My current city has one mall which, according to locals, used to be very special in the 90s/2000s and people loved going there. Now it's a shithole full of gang members and mexican kids with Edgar haircuts trying to start fights with random people so nobody goes there anymore either.
malls killed downtown
online killed malls
every time this comes up I think of Sears. They got big doing mail order, which is basically like online shopping; ordering from pictures and getting delivery. They survived the development of downtowns. They were the friggin anchor store for malls. But for some reason when online/mail-order came back in vogue, they choked. What's the lesson here?
Niggers
We all know.
They are forces of chaos so powerful they came to life, like the Fomorians or Jötnar in in old legends. There is an eternal struggle between progress and the entropy, which if left alone erodes things.
The fact that Canada still has its malls while America doesnt is proof of how much worse off the states are for their shitskin numbers.
This. Online shopping did not stop people from leaving their houses. People like to socialize but niggers ruin everything.
yer right to type that. it is them.
The decline of movie theaters had to contribute somewhat. A movie theater probably brought in like 30% of all foot traffic.
People would shop before/after the movie. Or visit a restaurant after the movie. If they were sneaky they could visit the candy/sweets shop before the movie.
My mall had an arcade. If a family went to see a movie and were leaving they'd pass the arcade and the kids would want to play a few games. A lot of examples you could think of like that.
Combination of the Cutlery World shop and niggers. GenX relaxed. Mallrats died. Ghetto rats replaced them. So sadness.
YES, we had nigger shootouts, we had spic shootouts. They came here to beef.
Police shut down the malls and the surrounding areas.
At some point, it wasn't worth it.
the mall I worked at, fought tooth and nail to stop direct transportation from ghettos into the mall
people became more atomized and introverted. teenagers would go to the malls in droves and hang around and oggle girls. zoomies are too scared to even look at women now and have to be forced to interact with strangers
1. Amazon dodging sales tax for the first 15 years of its existence created too much competitive advantage.
2. Niggers.
