I doubt that. I'm sure Applebee's location in the mall gets it a lot of business it wouldn't otherwise have. I can't imagine a free-standing location as being any better.

Didn't McDonalds use to be in the MHM, by the arcade?

Sorry, abercrombie with a lower case letter refers to the abercrombie kids store, with an upper case Abercrombie, that refers to Abercrombie and Fitch. Sorry should have let you know. Apple has been scouting out our mall and they do want to locate in there. The only reason I ask this is becuase the old Vanity space is exactly what Apple wants. They like the straight with the obstructions and wide spaces. Also McDonalds use to be next to were Charter Communications is. When Champs came McDonalds left and their space was incorported into their new store. I also agree with you txdxer about Applebees and their business at the mall. Anyone have any knows about the empty space in the food court, the Vanity space or any other things happening with the mall?

Are you serious? That would be amazing, and something I would never expect Duluth to get. *huge grin*

[duluthian2008]

Yes. I meant without the obstructions, sorry. But yes the mall is trying to get many new tenants in. Aluminumpork have you heard anything about the food court lately?

By the way everyone Charlotte Russe looks great in the mall! Also there is a gap between Charlotte Russe and Deb that will be home to Proactive Solution.

It's open? Huh, I guess haven't been to the mall lately.

[duluthian2008]

Its not open yet but pretty darn close. They took down the temp wall revealing the store. There are no clothes yet but all the shelving on the walls were in and the floor and everything was being cleaned.

The old Vanity store is where Hollister is going. They will be taking both Vanity and the Bristows location as well as part of the mall office. The mall office will be going in the space behind the North Shore Bank.

[duluthian2008]

Wow thank you for that information CrystalIce!!! Where did you get the information? Do you know when construction will start? Is Bristows relocating in the mall? Thank you so much this is solving a long issue about where Hollister is going.
