The Hickory Ridge Mall is open, now owned by a church. It has a fraction of the business it once did for the same reason the Mall of Memphis closed. God bless.
White flight is the main reason the Mall of Memphis is gone. When much of its core clientele of middle- to upper-class whites moved out of Memphis east to Bartlett, Cordova, Germantown, and Collierville, the mall's owners built the Wolfchase Galleria which opened in 1997. Unlike the older Southland Mall in Whitehaven (a south Memphis neighborhood) the Mall of Memphis was too large to adapt to the changing neighborhood. God bless.
Sad that they tore it down. I've seen picture of it online. It looked like a very nice mall. I would have loved to go ice skating there. The DJ in the background is very annoying.
Holy shit, that's insane, haven't been back to Memphis in years....Man I'm glad to be in Middle Tennessee where things are Booming, not just in "rich" neighborhoods!
