Penn Square Mall

[Bowser214]

Wow nice get!!! Had one at the upscale North Park Mall in Dallas for years! Oh but Penn Square is in shambles and looks like a discount outlet mall lol! ( I’m being sarcastic)

I remember there was a Johnston & Murphy store at Quail Springs Mall from the 80's to about the 90's then closed. J&M has a great shoe line and wish them much success at PSM!

Dillards carries their men’s line of clothing

That's in the Michael Kors spot. What happened to them?

Maybe they are moving spots or leaving. I was in this section this weekend and the Michael Kors store was definitely open and had people shopping in it.

Same. Penn was buzzing on Saturday, especially that wing.

My dad was the general/district manager of that store and I believe there was also one in Crossroads as well back in the early 80's. I remember going to work with him a few times as a child and going to both Quail and Crossroads with him. In 82 we moved to Dallas and he was running stores there before he early retired in 1983.

There was a store closing sign posted outside Forever 21 when I was at the mall this weekend. Has this been confirmed on here yet? That would be a huge loss.

Would be particularly shocking because a big chunk of that chain is owned by Simon which owns Penn Square itself.

OTOH, F21 has had all types of problems with bankruptcy and store closings.

The one at the Outlet Mall is almost closed too. I think their last day was this weekend or very soon.

[Patrick]

JC Penney is similar to Forever 21 in that Simon and Brookfield has a stake in them. So I doubt they will be leaving penn square or Quail Springs

Forever 21 will be closing this store, among about 200 others.

It’ll be interesting to see what will go in its place. It’s a fairly large space if it were to stay the same size. Zara is the first place that comes to mind to fill an area like that.

Zara would be great, and there are fairly similar, in terms of what they offer. It's a big space at PSM, so you're right, it will be interesting.

Well the weird thing about that spot is I believe it is not actually owned by the mall, or leased by the mall- I think Apple owns it.

Are they going to move there (take all 2 floors)? Or did they lease it to Forever 21? Seems farfetched, but I won't doubt you.

No, Simon owns everything at Penn Square except the Charter Bank out-parcel and the parking lot north of Macy's.

Even the anchors? I thought Dillards, Macy's and JCPenney all owned their stores.

Nope. Simon owns everything except what I mentioned.

Zara and F21 are very different merchandise. Zara a much better offering…better quality.

Uniqlo would be great, but doubt they are looking at OKC.

I don't doubt you since looking up property records is a snap (lazy here), but I had a convo with the mall mgr (Jeff) years ago and he said they owned 95% of it but didn't include that spot. Things might have changed in the years since, but that was straight from his mouth when I managed a store there.
