There is a JC Penny and Barnes and Noble here as anchor stores. Most everything else is either closed or catered to ethnic fashion. Malls are just not what they used to be. :(

Sadly, this mall seems to be part of a dying breed. I've always loved indoor malls--you can go inside away from the weather of rain, snow, wind, cold, hot temperatures---and go store to store and shop. I love this shopping model. I cannot understand why indoor malls, like this one, are dying. Many of the stores here have moved out to stand alone locations, which means less convenience and more exposure to weather elements as one is shopping. JCPenney and Barnes & Noble are the only anchor stores left in Lansing Mall. It's very sad. There is a nice new theater. I just wish it could be revitalized with new stores coming in. I'd be shopping there a lot more, like I used to.

As a young man, I worked at the mall in the mid 70's when it was bustling with business most every day. Now it's sad to see its demise. Only one anchor store remains and it's reported to be in financial trouble. I counted 37 vacant stores and the remaining stores hardly had any customers. This was on a Friday night too. I'll be really surprised if they remain open after the holidays.

This once bustling gem of a mall is circling the drain. TWO restaurants closed after Veteran's Day. The food court is one small pizza place. It is 90% empty as of 11/22/2019 and no new tenants moving in. Can't blame online shopping. Dozens of people walk it every day for exercise. My first job was there. I haven't been there in two years. It makes me sad.

We always stop by this mall on our way through Lansing. Last time was 3 years ago. This time we were surprised and saddened by what we found. Most of the stores were closed, and the few that were there did not have a lot of stock in them. The winner would have to be TJ Maxx, even they didn't have a lot to offer. It was 7 o'clock on a Thursday evening and there were just a handful of people in the mall. I remember when this place was very busy with much to offer, but not now. I won't be surprised if the next time through town we see this mall closed. Sorry to see! But I saw a lot of this happening on our road trip through the States.
