Wow. Who are their anchors? ( big stores) They are about to find out that legal fees are more than utilities. Bet they are filing for Ch.11. If they owe back taxes. Y'all could snatch it up.

JC Penney is one of them but ironically it appears they pay their own electricity. Who knows if they can even open alone.

They can but the mall closing cuts into revenue they would have received from mall shoppers... AND if the mall failed to pay their maintenance and no one plowed it will get hairy . If water is included in the rental agreement and there is no water, the salon can't open. Even if they plow that part of the mall and take it off their future rent. They are already losing money my the mall being closed.and they should not pay future rent until the mall reopens. It will be up to corporate. They should sue. All of the stores should. I'm not a lawyer.

It’s not just the salon that can’t open without water. The people that work there need to be able to use the toilet.

Good point! Well. This is going to hurt a lot of people and the community. I hope that the anchors & smaller stores start litigation promptly.

Porteous, Sears, Kmart and JC Penney were the original anchors and all but JC Penney closed now. Staples ended up closing after they moved in much later, and Harbor Freight and VIP took up half of an anchor store each. Building isn't I bad shape either. It's a shame.
