ReplyDeleteThat $1 any size coffee at McDonalds is having an impact,but practically everybody sells it for less than the Beanery.If places like this can't get it through their heads that people just don't have the money they'll all go out of business before they wise up.
ReplyDeleteActually the Coffee Beanery has only been there since they remodeled that area a few years ago. The mall was over 10 years old when they opened. I heard that a starbucks is coming to the mall and that is why the coffee beanery is not able to stay.
ReplyDeleteIt's the cost of doing business at the Mall. I know one business owner in the food court who's rent was $7000 a month.
ReplyDeleteHe was just making enough to keep the business open but no profit was made at all.
The Mall is is supposed to trade high cost of rent for providing constant traffic of customer's. The problem is that the mall does not bring in the people it used too.
Also combined that there is little variety of stores in the mall and you find there is little reason to go there. It is almost all clothing stores. Very little else to shop for.
The Mall looks like Ferguson MO. nobody wants to be robbed or intimidated.
ReplyDelete2 weeks ago (Wed) I went to the mall. First time in probably 10 years. The mall was empty. We even commented that we were the only people in 99% of the stores we went into excluding Boscov's and Macy's. We commented as well how while walking we could see no other in front or behind us a lot of the times. It kind of gave me an eerie bad feeling like I was walking in an abandoned mall. Never made it as far down as the food court so I couldn't tell if that had more people in it.
ReplyDeleteThe slow but steady decline of the economy. It ain't gonna get better, either. It can't.
ReplyDeleteThat kiosk has been there since they remodeled. The Beanery used to be where that hat shop is. Just so you know.
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised.Who needs $3.00 coffee?
ReplyDelete10:59 You have no idea what your talking about, they have been in the mall since the doors first opened.
ReplyDelete11:54-Thats what I thought too,but since I don't go there I couldn't recall specifically how long they had been in the mall.
ReplyDeletehaven't been shopping at the center for well over 5 years. don't feel safe there and most of the time the prices are way too high. internet shopping for me. lot's of discounts and deals and many times no shipping...
ReplyDeletei work across from Coffee Beanery in the centre.. if you dont pay our rent for several months what do you think is going to happen.. i love how internet professors of business place all the blame of closing business on this and that but never on the businss owner and how he/she operates their business
