Same store sales at QSM are half of what they are at PS. That's why when a national retailer is faced with having to choose one mall, they'll close their store at QSM and keep their store at PSM open. Case in point, Eddie Bauer, Abercrombie, etc. And if national retailers are only going to locate one store in the market, they'll choose PSM over QSM because of the much higher sales volumes. This really hurts QSM.
