Whole place reminds of Waverly, where you can drive by and have little clue of tenants present. Massive ugly retaining walls, i recall. Not sure how TOC let it all go through, with rear of buildings facing main roads. Oh well.
Truly un-walkable.
The Target is a smaller one, like Park West's, so grocery selection suffers, compared target in Apex.
I heard from a friend that Golf Galaxy will also be closing- they are just not advertising it and will move the merchandise to the other Golf Galaxy. I told my DH who shops there and he said he thought so since they haven't had any new merchandise since July or earlier.
If that's true, that's two big empty stores.

Well Waverly is walkable. Parkside definitely isn't really. If I remember right there was a set of plans for Parkside that had it more dense, but then some NIMBYish thing happened that caused them to redo everything. Similar to what happened at Park West.
They should have attempted to densify more with the Target and 'Teeter on the side with the apartments. It's absolutely absurd that the apartments are literally as far away as humanly possible in land use from the grocery store.
Tolling that stretch of 540 was dirty. Then the closed the exit at Cisco....also dirty. Being one exit down too far is killing that shopping center. I know a lot of people frI'm north and west Raleigh won't go down the tolled portion of 540 for any reason. What a huge mistake that was. My wife's company was just off Davis, and recently moved. You had to drive 2 miles out of your way to get in and out from 540 and avoid the toll that came long after the road ran through there.
I was told that this had nothing to do with the amount of business in the store, but that the landlord broke the lease agreement. Supposedly F&S had an agreement about not having too many other stores close to them, and they are now building a Steinmart to the left that shares a wall with F&S. This allowed F&S to claim breach of contract and move out.
Since Steinmart, nor any other store in that shopping center is a direct competitor, it seems to me that this is more of a convenient excuse to shut down. Just seems "fishy" to me......

Exactly.

I went to F&S today, got 2 Columbia PFG short sleeve button ups, a F&S button up similar to the PFG and a long sleeve Under Armor fishing shirt for $47. All of them were 50% off lowest marked price.
That shopping center is just plain ugly with the number of high retaining walls that were required. It's also impossible to see anything from the road, especially on the F&S side.
Having lived in NW Cary for a few years (now I live out in the middle of nowhere ), I will say that the shopping center was a welcome addition. It was very convenient having the Target and various restaurants less than five minutes away. But, other than people who live around that area or work in RTP, I don't know why anyone would specifically go to Parkside with the sheer number of other shopping centers in western Wake.
