Online shopping and walmart

Malls were more a social thing than an actual buying thing. The stores in the mall depended on the mall traffic to move merchandise.

Now, not only are people buying merchandise on-line, they're also doing their socializing on-line.

Internet killed the mall.

This

Where are all the typewriter repairmen?

Where are all the telegraph stations?

Where are the newspapers?

It's called progress, and not the shitty kind of "progress" the jews push.

>Internet killed the mall.

Sure kiddo. Did it also kill all the malls that died off in the 70s 80s and 90s?

It's not just online shopping. Plazas are popping up everywhere still and people are just fine with shopping in them. Malls require too much maintenance and people don't give a shit about fountains and escalators now. Malls give off a trashy ghetto vibe now. Probably because so many stores are closed in them.

No anchor tenants
Too seedy

Niggers and the interrnet

There are new age "strip malls" that seem to do well now. Open air groups of stores that have decent brands and no Walmarts or white trash stockpiles. The indoor malls are very outdated and no one wants to go inside and feel depressed when 75% of the stores are empty and there's only temporary Halloween or sports memorable shops.

There are dozens, DOZENS of these abandoned American stores peppered throughout Canada...

They took a dump and left without flushing

>Why do all of the Malls around me keep dying?

Because Americans keep shitting in them.

Because Canada has a shit economy. Just face it.

I always wanted to try and roll one of those target balls across the parking lot

>drive to indoor mall
>park and get out of car
>walk through a gauntlet of mugging niggers flashing gang signs and asking if you want to buy heroin for 20 minutes
>get to the store you want to shop at

>drive to strip mall
>park and get out of car
>walk 20 seconds to the store you want to shop at
>smile as you see a security guard executing a prone, unarmed nigger child outside for loitering

This meme is going to die if people just keep reposting the same pics over and over instead of creating OC.

They became a dangerous and yuck shitskin magnets, White flight commences, no one(Whites) left that buy anything, they go under.

You just keep sharting

socialism

does it mak u thnk?

Checked

Meanwhile those in lawnmower repairs are laughing all the way to the bank

Baby boomers are dying that's why

If it's anything like where I live, the answer is expanded public transportation allowed inner city blacks to reach the malls and therefore crime increased significantly and drove away the people actually buying shit.

Sure kiddo

Barbara Roche in the UK looks like a fucking clone of our Supreme Court justice Kagan. Jews really are inbred to all hell.

Why do you keep making this thread?

Also, I live in the north mexican border and when I go shopping in a US mall all I see is beatiful women and not a lot of fat people like my shithole country. Mexicans are the real burgers.

I don't know half the people in there but if they're all misspelt that way...

This is part of my research topic for my PhD. I won't bore anyone with details, but when you start looking at numbers and stats on how many square metres of wasteland have been created from dying malls, it's scary. Happens everywhere, but vast majority in North America. Long story short, your mad passion for capitalism in the post-war era saw consumerism explode. Every country has regressed from this in recent decades, but you guys had gone full retard, so it's more evident when you come back to a middle ground. Never go full retard.

>Supreme Court justice Kagan.
>Kagan

Did you mean Krogan?

Two reasons. For some people, it's inner city thugs making malls unsafe. For those that don't have that problem, malls typically have nothing of value. I've gone to my local mall and walked around all over, only to buy nothing.

The only reason to go to a mall is for a bite to eat, if you work there, or you're a woman. Stores seem to have nothing of value for men, unless you're a peasant who buys relaxed fit jeans and white socks at Sears.

>No electronics store for components. At most, a TV section at Sears

>No clothing beyond working class pleb shit or H&M's generic Instagrammy apparel

>Restaurants are mostly Asian like Chinese, Korean, etc.

>No grocery store

>No theater (unless it's a megamall like a Westfield)

>No arcade

So, now if I want something interesting, I have to order shit from New York or London. Just to find a pair of BROWN DENIMS, I had to buy online from Europe, but every store seems to sell fucking teal skater jeans.

1. Most malls were supported by two or three "anchors", big department stores like Macy's, JCPenny's, and Sears that all coexisted with small boutiques. Walmart smashed this model by offering everything at the lowest possible price.

2. Online retailers offered cheaper prices. This caused much of Walmart's middle and upper class base to stop shopping at them, causing their store quality to go into the toilet. Meanwhile, stores like Macy's and Sears began to empty out and stopped offering ancillary services (like optometry or family photos) as families stopped shopping at them.

3. As stores emptied and closed down, the "in-store experience" went to shit. Sears in particular stopped vacuuming their carpets and would cut half their lights to save power. As stores left, their empty spaces told customers that they were shopping in an oversized coffin. Less people begin to show up. The only survivor, Walmart, only survived because they had the lowest prices and niggers shopped at them. However their stores became filthy and untenable as a result.

4. Movie theaters stopped drawing as many customers as they used to, due to the rise of Netflix. Blockbuster died completely and Radioshack closed down the majority of their stores.

5. Eventually, the final anchor leaves and the mall ceases operation. Leases are terminated and the owner looks for a buyer.

On a related note, it's important to remember that many malls have survived. These are malls that have:

- good access to a supermarket or grocer (a thing people will reliably shop at)
- good pedestrian access (ie malls built up against a large sidewalk, not surrounded by miles of asphalt)
- good transit connections (like a train station or bus depot)
- mid or high density housing (more customers living and working nearby means more casual walk-ins)

It's worth mentioning that what we know as a "mall" only came out due to the dominance of the car. As that fades, so does things built upon it.

Well, that and the mall sharting...

Basically this. Plazas are also a lot easier to expand if needed.

Why do you try that hard with this mall subject? Fuck off.

I hated these types of shopping centers.

>tfw when I still have my saved game files from the original Mass Effect from 8 years ago but I have yet to play the sequels

shit economy
old pensioners (their main shoppers) are dying fast
millennials are poorer, reuse more stuff, and do shopping online

tfw you will never get to eat in a zellers diner again

Save yourself the trouble.

What is your major malfunction Pedro?

Did you get diddled at the mall or something?

They are affixed to the ground to stop cars...

It just goes to show how unique Boomers were, they were probably the only generation where the majority wasn't lower income. Their lifestyles weren't sustainable, but it's not as dramatic as you make it out to be. Malls die because of a lack of customers, not due to some larger class war. It's death by starvation and not fire and brimstone.

Amazon

>a leaf

The mall near where I live is doing just fine due to it being big and our state having tax-free shopping. It's one of the few things Delaware has to offer.

All the malls in my county are doing just fine

>being responsible for Joe Biden

Online shopping cuts massive costs of having a storefront

Because Todd took a shit in aisle 8 again.

Online shopping is nice, but I like to go into a men's department of a department store with customer service. Have somebody measure and give me the right fit. It would be a shame to lose that.

I'm sure Tucker and Dylan took a shit in some Walmart today

>local mall near my college
>decent sized
>had a Sbarro pizza place which was gold
>only ever saw Sbarros at obscure rest stops and malls when traveling elsewhere
>sometimes would go to the mall just for Sbarro
>graduate and leave home 4 years ago
>visit mom last year
>fuck year Sbarro time
>mall has aged like milk
>out of the 6 food court stores, only one exists
>it's the shitty chinese place, Sbarro is kill
>mall is full of nogs
>many empty spots
>not even Iranians to pester the shit out of me about skin cream anymore

Was 2010-2012 the starting years of mall death?

>Have somebody measure and give me the right fit.

nobody over age 25 does that unless they are renting a tuxedo or getting alterations done at a dedicated tailors

it was actually because Target's management massively bungled their opening. Most of the stores barely had merchandise when they opened and Target doesn't have the "Walmart for white people" reputation it has in America because our Walmarts are actually well maintained and there aren't enough minorities to fuck them up

And I'm sure that you have to walk past several thousand people shitting on the ground just to get to the corner store.

Very much this, and free nigger housing policies that are causing white flight in the suburbs.

It's a PhD in urban planning, or town planning, depending on which country you're from. Maybe in Mexico you call it slum planning, I don't know? It's a research topic because it's not about the failing malls, per se, but how to plan to avoid it in the future, and what to do with the land to redevelop failed areas. Our land is worth lots, unlike in Mexico, so it's important to us. Unlike Mexico.

Online shopping means that Americans can poop on the floors of their own homes rather than in their shopping pants. Much more convenient.

Internet and niggers

Spot on. For them it was more about proving that capitalism was superior. Buying things was how you showed those Russians who was boss. But not sustainable.

Dress shirts or buying a suit. Some department stores have nice stuff and some decent priced stuff.

California?

>Why do all of the Malls around me keep dying?

Because of this guy.

lmao rekt

some burgers mistook it for wal-mart and started to shart

Niggers swarming there on weekend nights. It's killing the Mall of America...now it's the SoMALLi of America.

Nope. In the South.

Is that the bigass mall just south of PA's border on 202? Worth a visit?

And only niggers and spics going to malls and movie theaters.

>tfw Mass Effect came out 40 years ago

Here's an idea. Make retail space actually have something to offer.

>Downtown in my suburban town off the water is dying
>Only municipal stuff like court houses, county jail, bail bonds, and maybe a few places to eat if it's not stuff related to people in the paralegal field.
>Antique shops mostly when it comes to retail
>Nothing of real value, because nobody has the money for antiques, and there doesn't need to be an antique shop across from an antique shop

People need incentives. Sell the essentials and diversify the area. Where's the shoe store? The lumber store? The electronics boutique? A barber shop? A place to buy firearms? A place to buy a pair of pants? But no, instead people fill a space with duplicates. It's like that Simpsons episode where the mall is filled with nothing but Starbucks Coffee.

This. Everything you used to get in malls is more convenient to just buy online. The exception is clothes. This is why there are still malls in well off areas, they are just filled with clothing stores.

Niggers. I live in fucking Bismarck, North Dakota and there was a nigger camped out sleeping under a bench inside the mall last week. SLEEPING. UNDER. THE BENCH.

Also the only brawl in the malls history happened a couple months ago and surprise.. it was a fight between a bunch of nigresses.

Make malls great again. Gas the blacks, retail war now!

>no clothing for men
so much this.

there is nothing at the stores in the us. there is like 10% guy section and 90% female. If you go to asia the stores there are basically 50/50. so nice to see a wide verity of styles instead of polo/button up/normie meme tshirts and blue jeans
>n-no homo

It's interesting to hear all your points regarding black people shitting malls up, because we never face that problem here. There's no welfare in India to prop up the poorfags so they stay away from the malls. You can also kick them out without cries of racism. The general crowd in Indian malls ia usually families or young people, and they are generally well-mannered (as much as Indians can be).

Somehow I think welfare is the bane of society. It's a good thing we don't have it India yet.

So what if some guy managed to buy the husk of a mall and turn it into a bigass apartment building. I'm sure it is implausible, but sleeping in a mall sounds interesting.

Or then there's always personal housing or the Sup Forums colony.

This but only because NIGGERS AND MUSLIMS make it HELL to try and shop in person.

ME2 is good, ME3 is where he should stop

Yeah good luck with building regulations.

Americans shart in them and they have to close before it ends in a cholera outbreak.

Because they're somewhat out of fashion & because you live in a shitty town that can no longer support enough expensive retail to support a mall

They say it's gonna be a cold one this year. Minot here

Yep. Don't know about where you are, but in Australia our boutique shops are too wanky and expensive, and all the other stores are just ho hum chain stores. Nothing really of interest. There's a comment above about malls being an important social thing, but that's changed too. Our big push in Australia is to redevelop retail malls with apartments above or around. I guess if you make people live in super close proximity, you've got a captive market.

Yeah, That's the one I'm talking about. It's pretty good.

Also think of all the toilets in the mall, that's way too many poo witches for the common Indian to want to have to go against

...

Decent bantz m8

This is consistent with my experience as well

You will still find large malls in larger upscale expensive areas but they will die eventually as government moves ghetto trash into more affluent areas in the name of "muh oppurtunity"

There will come a day when the last fucking Gamestop will close...

only niggers/spics go to the movies?
i have literally never seen niggers at the movies, those apes can't watch flashing images for 3 hours and think critically without needing to chimp

you go to different movies

Fucking shit these guys actually need some sphincter discipline!

Because only faggot teenagers with no money hang out at them.

>He's listed a reasonable explanation, but I can't help being contradictory for even one second. I know, I'll ask him about the malls that closed before Internet 8)

Fucking retard, malls have a low profit margin, they go out of business easily

>buying video games
>being a console peasant

Are you me?

>my old f150 is starting to rust out.
>engine leaking oil badly
>4x4 low still works
After i put together my down payment for my next vehicle, i might be sending my truck on a final suicide mission for glory.

Why don't you turn the building into something useful then? Aye aren't you are getting burka mounted cops? Aye

The gamestop in my mall became a phone store and the sbarro and pretzel place shutdown. I think the only thing keeping it from closing down is the bookstore.

And it will be a good day
