If it's an Ollies, I'd say it could be the first steps toward CTC turning into more of a discount, Marketplace Mall as opposed to a traditional Shopping Mall.

Uh...
Thanks for the lol.
You got it.
Another, more serious thought...
Malls are struggling everywhere because the goods available at retail are often easily available online, and there is not much retail loyalty to bricks and mortar.
So, offer something that people need to leave the house for.
Gut the vacant anchors and build an entertainment complex, indoor auditorium(s), movies, and target affiliated businesses, restaurants, clubs, etc.
Big investment, but a solid opportunity in a great location.
I was in CTM last week. Thought I was in a run down mall in Detroit area. Sad. Just about everything between Belk and Dillard's are empty.
