mall

Take a walk down memory lane with this list.

Nobody told me that Al's Formal Wear was gone. Shoot, I didn't even know that it was closed, much less completely empty...

If you check out the store directory on the Lufkin Mall website, both of these are listed as "Temporarily Closed".

For the first time since COVID-19 closed down - basically - everything, I got the chance to walk through the Lufkin Mall. What I saw was interesting...

Today they made an announcement via Facebook that shows that they are beginning the process of opening up, and getting back to a somewhat more normal schedule.

When I drove by today, I noticed some changes taking place at the mall. I actually went back so that I could get a couple of pictures. This is what I saw:

The other day, I was walking through the University Mall in Nacogdoches. As I walked through, I snapped a few pictures. This is what I saw.

The one thing that the stand-alone Chick-fil-A had that the mall location didn't have was a drive-thru. Now, that's changed. Check out the video.

After driving past the mall this morning, I saw that preparations are underway for Rudolph!

The closure of Babies R Us stores left a huge void in the world of baby products, and other retailers are realizing they've got a big opportunity to fill that need. A big retailer just announced they'll start selling more cribs and playsets in stores on August 30th, and other retailers are hopping on board too.

People are questioning what's going on at the University Mall once again.

With a few big retail stores closing sites in Lufkin, it creates new opportunity to make use of that space.  If you made the rules, what would you put in the empty Lufkin Mall spots?
