Gota say --- I am both impressed and astonished with regard to the knowledge posted ala the chains. Honestly....I have not even heard of, let alone visited 80 percent of the ones mentioned here.
I realize there's restaurants in the area similar to Chili's but I get their special offers in my email and wishing at times that they were closer than a 30 mins drive.

All the more reason to bring them all here!
They could look at it as "an expansion of knowledge for our stomachs".
Above is the link to the article you mentioned. I agree, spring 2015 is a long time for them just to have the sites ready. I initially expected them to at least be almost finished construction of the already-signed businesses by then. Oh well, good things come to those who wait.
An official said a new standalone restaurant planned for there alone could net up to $15,000 in taxes for the city, and maybe pull from other restaurants...WOW I wonder what that chain that is going to be. I don't know how those numbers compare to average for a restaurant (perhaps someone else could answer that) but it sounds like a big deal to me.
Someone else in the article mentioned they need more kids in the mall. Umm…sure as long as they are well-mannered kids. One of the main complaints I've had a couple of times with the Valley Mall is the abundance of trouble-making kids running around. I've been in there a couple of times where multiple security officers had to be called in to control rowdy groups of teens. Also, Martinsburg Mall used to have a problem with kids skipping school at nearby Martinsburg High and South Middle causing trouble in the mall. In fact at one point they didn't allow anyone 18 and under to enter the mall without adult supervision during school hours. I agree we definitely need stores for the young demographic (Hollister and Abercrombie would really pull from other areas, there are currently 0 Abercrombie stores in WV and the closest to Martinsburg is Dulles Town Center) but we also need some stores that would attract other demographics as well.
I think a Charming Charlie store would do well here as long as it has an exterior storefront. I know a couple of ladies who shop there, closest location is in Leesburg. Unfortunately, its the worst nightmare imaginable for us guys (haha), but the ladies love it. It's elaborate clothing and accessories but reasonably priced. I will admit it is kind of cool because the entire store is divided by color. For instance, all red clothing and jewelry is in one corner, yellow in another section, so on and so forth throughout the store. It's different and innovative, nobody else in the four-state has it, and although like I said it is a guy's worst nightmare, I'd like to see it come for the female demographic.
For us guys, Jos. A. Bank is decent, as well as Men's Warehouse and Brooks Brothers. -mmccul
