The Collin Creek mall in Plano, TX has been its way out for a decade, only anchor left is Sears. Most of the internal stores were replaced with Asian massage parlors, not sure that is the useful new businesses you had in mind. Oh yeah, enough seniors power-walking their laps around the interior to power the matrix twice over.

But I don’t blame Amazon, a lot of the department stores have been poorly managed for decades, and they are so bad off now that nobody with a fresh perspective wants to touch them. I think Sears blew it all on canceling their credit cards for inactivity every thirty days then issuing new ones next time you went into the store ;)

Collin Creek is utterly bizarre to walk through. it seemed like 80% of the shops were shuttered, and I saw maybe a dozen other customers while walking the length of the mall. One of the 15,000+ sqft units was leased out to a model railroad club that used the space for one evening a week.

I don't know how they're even making enough to keep the lights on.
