Our large mall has lost Pennys, Sears, and Younkers in the last couple of years. My local mall has gone from three anchors to one (Van Mauer). Over half the retail spaces are empty and considerable space is used for non-traditional mall offerings like a fitness gym and a cosmetology school.

The amazing thing is the growth of satellites and open air strips. The indoor mall concept seems to have come and gone.
