Yesterday it was made public that the struggling Echelon Mall will get a Wal-Mart in place of the empty J C Penny's. This rumor has been floating around for quite some time, and it looks like it is really true since it was in the Inquirer yesterday.
The Penny's building will still be torn down and the Wal-Mart will be a new building put in it's place. However, it won't actually be connected to the mall. So people wanting to actually shop at the mall will have to leave the Wal-Mart parking lot and enter the Mall seperatly. Don't get too excited the store isn't slated to open in 2006.
Will this work? Won't Wal-Mart just crush Boscov's? Will stores like Dollar Mania be useless?
The people at Preit say that the Mall is getting a new look, new lights and colors inside, and eventually lots of cool new stores.
Can the Mall come back to life ?

Ha! Walmart will just kill all the other business in the mall AND the area. Bye Bye Sears!
I hope that it saves the mall, becauswe I just love the Echelon Mall. It is the mall of my youth. Besides, it is the closest. I think that the Wal-Mart will kill off some of the businesses in the mall, but hopefully Wal-Mart's drawing power will cause some new stores that have some better products than Wal-Marts to the mall. I am not the biggest Wal-Mart fan. Besides its awful business practices, it is just the most ghetto of the discount superstores. Target is the best, while K-Mart is a distant second just ahead of Wal-Mart.

Bad move PREIT. Why would you hire the secretary from the previous owners to be the Marketing Director of the same mall. A SECRETARY!!! No wonder this mall is EMPTY.
This is one of the most interesting articles since few months on your blog. Congratulations dear admin.
