I heard The Gap is closing their store in Broadway though.

I head to Walt Whitman when I am up on the Island.
Bringing in Walmart was a mistake, that was done before Westfield took over.
The former owners wrecked that mall so much by their mis-management.
It's biggest problem is empty stores, because the mall failed to properly renovate itself. Instead of bringing in Walmart in the old Sterns space, they should have brought in LI's first Neiman Marcus. Certainly with all the wealth south of Merrick Road (Nassau Shores) could've supported it. A remodel in addition to new trendy stores (ie Banana Republic,Ann Taylor, Abercrombie) and an expansion of Macy's would've brought the mall to a much better place. But instead the former owners decided to make the mall value oriented, bringing in Walmart,etc. And adding a rent hike for that may be the death knell to that mall.
If an anchor like Macy's or Sears has to make cuts, they are going to look at closing their under-performing stores, like the ones at Sunrise, first. Once that happens, it will become a Dead Mall.

macys, sterns, sears, a&s, jc penneys.....those are "anchor stores" meaning they are attractions within themselves and they lure shoppers to the mall.

thats why the rent is so high for the little guys: to make up for the big stores lack of rent.

Are you guys talking about sunrise mall in massapequa? I shop there all the time and honestly I have never notice anything out of the ordinary except 2 years ago there was a shoplifting in sears I think. I must be shopping off peak time and missing all the action. I mostly shop at waltwhitman but I am definitely not afraid to shop at sunrise mall, You guys seriously need to get out more and stop being afraid of your own shadow!!!!!

crime is everywhere. Ive seen my fair share all over the island. the sunrise mall is a great mall with plain clothers and uniformed officers patrolling the mall. hell, I even caught a flasher, mastubating in his car in front of a couple of 10 year old girls. I also busted UFC FIGHTER and massapequa resident -------------Moderator cut: no private names please
shoplifting sneakers. he cried like a baby to the cops. classic.
