Tearing down Nordstrom store

traveler · ‎03-09-2010

They have been closed for a year. Now the plan is to tear it down because the floor plan was designed just for Nordstrom and can't be modified. Odd.

@traveler My Dillard's is closing the end of the year. The shopping center (Paradise Valley) is being converted into "multi-purpose"........including condo's or maybe apartment buildings.

@Desertdi Thanks to those who gave us Covid, our country will never be the same and neither will the joy of shopping and the finds. Grrrrrrrr

OP said that her store has been closed for a year. That's pre COVID.

@shoesnbags It might have been replaced by another store but for covid.

@traveler Maybe not odd. I say that because years ago when the Burdines at one end of the huge mall near me went out of business, Nordstrom bought their part of the mall and demolished it and built their own big store. Maybe they build to specifications too different from other retail to be easy to modify?? Just a thought.

We gave each other Covid. Community spread. Thanks maskless neighbors!

Coulda been contained like Ebola. But nope. And now it is what it is. And a disturbing number of people are happy for it to continue to spread and ruin more and more businesses and lives.

The big mall near me did a big risk. They converted the Sears building in to Lidi Supermarket. That's right. A supermarket in the middle of a high end mall. I've been there twice. Both times it seemed busy. So I guess it's working. It's been 10 months and they're still there. I'm happy Nordstrom is still around.

Mall's were already dying a slow death before Covid.

Covid just hastened that death.

I knew Dillards was closing but didn't know that PV mall is changing to multi-use. The mall has been struggling for awhile.

Thanks for the info.
