I came up here from Florida last year and the nearby mall had been essentially barren of stores on the inside for at least a year when I left, probably more. Even he Macys there closed which was fortunate for me since I was able to get a suit for my brothers wedding way cheaper. I think that was probably the last thing that set up the mall to be dead. Because the year after that right, before I moved, the mall went up for auction and was bought for only $100k. Me and my brother joked about how cheap that was and how we could just have this big ass space to ourselves if we had been able to get to that.
Had to check. Apparently the owners went bankrupt and their creditors bought it at auction. Which all makes sense with what I was thinking. Doesn't say the price paid, but I distinctly recall hearing $100k. 6 or so months after that they got hit by hurricane Ian too. Looks like a lot of their stores are still empty. Port Charlotte Town Center for those that are curious.
