i remember before the recession it had business i use to go there alot to buy and sell games at gamestop plus they had the best restuarants everything from burgers health food right down to asian food and coffes. was a kinda cool place i always hated how small it was tho. wasnt it turned into a hurricane shelter? i knw one year ppl were aloud to occupy it durning a huricane :)
Well, just go a few miles north and you'll find the Gardens Mall at Palm Beach Gardens. It's a pretty popular mall that attracts a lot of rich shoppers from Jupiter.
Go several miles south and you'll run into Aventura Mall in North Miami. That's a very BIG and busy mall that even attracts quite a bit of shoppers from South Beach, especially during the winter when the snowbirds flock there.
Palm Beach Lakes mall is small and obsolete, so it's no wonder that place is dying.
if places like this go bust its no loss they survived on the flows of credit and sucked money out of communities its not a loss selling crap you dont need
DUH! WALMART, WINNING!!! WHO needs to spread made in china slave labour neatly throught a whole mall, when you can pack it all into a walmart without unions at minimum wage and one manager for the whole operation! Y'all did it to yourselves!
once was thriving booming economy. in the last 10 years are now ghost towns.some of Americans worst mistakes that should have never happened.little markets and even the big market will service.
Eureka California (Bayshore mall ) turning into a ghost town.lost 90% of the stores.its turning into a ghost town.General growth properties owns it. we had every thing and now we got nothing left.its going to happen all over America.we can learn to live with out shopping to make us happy.I can learn to be happy with out shopping malls.shop at thrift stores.I know we need some thing to do but corporations are closing chains and going bankrupt .buy used things pay off your credit card stay home
I actually went to the movie theater at this mall when I vacationed down there this past September! I found it sooo eerie walking around an empty mall!
in this mall, yeah most of it was local shop ownders selling stuff like clothing jewlery and some real expensive clothing as well... there were also corporations like jcpenny, gamestop, radio shack, it was a mix of local and corporate... obviously all the locals were driven out by the recession it was the closest mall to me what a bitch. :|
To all viewers of this video; this looks the same scene at Landmark Mall Alexlandria, Va. Geesh !! and you got to wonder why ? I am no commercial real estate expert but I think its becuase some of the retail store employees do not pracitice quality selling , customer service manners. Can anyone remeber when you was sincerly " THANKED" for your business , How can we make your expercince more better ? I could be wrong but what do you think ?
Across america this is playing out. Tea Partys are pissed, iran and china are the targets, all our troops are overseas, arizona is going to be a civil war. jobs are gone, more americans on food stamps than ever. race wars will begin shortly after a new 'attack' like 9/11, got 6 months foods, water, ammo? Stay tuned.
The Palm Beach Mall "officially" closed on January 30, 2010. I never thought I would see that day come. When the Palm Beach Mall first opened in October, 1967, it was the largest Mall on the east coast. It was a "high-class" place to shop! Now, it's gone. The only stores that remain are JC Penney (original anchor), George's Music and the Firestone (outparcel). RIP 1967-2010.
OMG, real estate collapse part deux....this time much worse....commercial real estate default combined with alt-a and option arms residential readjustments, more supply (residential and commercial) and higher unemployment this time around........2010 will mark the year of official dollar devaluation, martial law, a new currency to replace the dollar and many more bank failures.....
Its so terrible that this mall became of this and the Gardens mall is up and running! that mall is soo gosh darn expensive l dont see why its not suffering as much as this mall is
Well it looks to me as if you were actually there near close or before open time. Those kiosks are almost all full of retailers during the day. You are in one of the more crowded part of the mall.
This is what the Nanuet Mall in Nanuet NY used to look like I've had so many memories there and what a coensidence it was owned by Simon!

this happens only to social systems in which money is the only value. since you've got no culture, ghost towns will remain.

It will be a great day for America when all the malls look like this. Then people can go back to shopping downtown in stores owned by local people.

Just a slight correction:
The name of the Mall is not "Palm Beach Lakes Mall"
It is just called the "Palm Beach Mall".
The confusion is due to the street that the mall is on, which is called "Palm Beach Lakes Blvd".
