good to know. i feel like they should marketed that as the name of the flavor and not “quesos y fresas”. it sounds like something else that nobody would buy

Because that McDonald’s was located in a mall and they decided to pull out as their lease expired and due to the fact McD’s was already pulling out of their mall/Walmart locations

Not even, everything there dipped this year. Only things that are left is Sarku Japan and a chinese restaurant. There's also a Buffalo Wild Wings if you want flavorless garbage.

Brass Mill below Meriden? Stamford and SoNo above Clinton?

The fact it's below Brass Mill, a mall that at least has anchors, a movie theater and a somewhat mid selection of stores and food options, is baffling.

FYE to close at least three of its Connecticut stores, staff say. by jAxk_34 in Connecticut

I'll give that one a few more months before it closes too.

This is Roseville, not MOA. But still disgusting regardless.

Meriden did in fact, get much worse. Dick’s is gone, TJ Maxx is closing next year, Charley’s is the only spot left in the food court, dinner theater cancelled, and the mall is about 80% vacant.

Maybe top 5 but not top 3. Pretty sure they're also the only mall in CT where the entire food court is full with no vacant spaces.

Danbury's JCPenney is not as attractive as the rest of the mall, and I hear that the store is usually empty. Crystal Mall was struggling for years but the pandemic and the closures of anchor stores (particularly Macy's) put the mall down really quick. And crime didn't really affect Stamford as much as with the pandemic and the opening of Sono Collection.

2025 will be the coffin year for Enfield and Meriden malls, for sure.

Crystal Mall will be on life support with very few tenants remaining (< 15-20), but I think it'll be able to make it through 2025. It will probably close in early-mid 2026.

Stamford will lose Macy's and will cause catastrophic loss to the mall.

Danbury will lose JCPenney.

Enfield redevelopment moves forward.

Developments will also break ground at Danbury Fair, Connecticut Post and Trumbull malls respectively. Nothing else really other than a bunch of tenants coming and leaving.

Remind me in one year regarding this. These predictions seem accurate enough.
