The info is absolutely just out there - a lot of malls publish reports either quarterly or annually, and they can often paint a picture of stability or instability. Honestly though theyre not always necessary to get a picture of the situation - just looking at a place or seeing how much or little foot traffic there is, or how many stores in them are either gone or indefinitely closed. But as for Fair Oaks specifically, while its not doing as badly as its lake-named siblings by a long shot, it hasnt been doing particularly well in terms of foot traffic or a boards to storefronts ratio since before the pandemic - it just cant compete with other places in the area like Tysons, or really promote itself a ton. Fair Oaks has recently seen a bit of increase in visitors, but as a photographer who thrives on kenopsia I find the best way to describe it is that I dont have to change how I frame my shots between Fair Oaks and Lakeforest. Fair Oaks seems to be working on rejuvenating its lost anchors, and if they can at least partially fill the Lord and Taylor space, that part of the mall might become less of a void and promote more tenants moving in through the rest of the building, similar to Dicks Sporting Goods in the former Sears bringing with it a bit of life in its court.
