Carmike is doing well and there are several new popular restaurants and stores at the mall including Children's place, justice, Luigi's Pizza and Santa Fe. Rue 21 actually moved into the mall from Hickory Plaza and Sears reopened as a Hometown Store. Dunhams isn't extremely popular. They also renovated the mall and actually kept the fountains and other nice features.

Santa Fe Cattle Company recently opened in the new restaurant space near entrance 4. The whole exterior was recently repainted. All of the 4 entrances have been remodeled. New restaurants are opening in the moved food court in the next several months. Several other stores such as Claire's, American Eagle, and Belk have remodeled their locations also. The Children's Place is supposed to open September 19. The new Sears also opened over the summer. They still aren't done remodeling either.

If Publix is involved in the project, it is rest assured going to be "de-malled". However, I think it is still a shame this mall killed the other two older malls in the city. Hess's/Crown America that built it did an enormous amount of damage to the successful malls in the smaller cities, and in turn none of their malls have ever done very well.J.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04208881715255029485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047095566316955789.post-1513358169832837352011-10-29T20:26:40.410-07:002011-10-29T20:26:40.410-07:00Don't know how it will turn out, but Carmike T...Don't know how it will turn out, but Carmike Theatres just announced a twelve screen state of the art movie complex to be built where the previous theatre was supposed to have been built. Since it came from Carmike it may happen. The mall management has also said a major redevelopment is in store for the mall. I certainly needs it. The mall is very worn and it shows. It has never been upgraded or painted inside or out. Black streaks run down the white outside walls. Hopefully with the theatre coming the owners will spend some money and the store count will rise.<br />Cleveland is a growing city and can support the mall. A new Olive Garden is being built across the street from the mall. Another strip mall is being developed nearby with a Buffalo Wild Wings opening Halloween. Batteries plus is nearly ready with several more stores planned. Rumor has it that Publix is coming soon. The Target Town Center has added Electronics Express where Circuit City was and this store is much nicer. The mayor said he expects Red Lobster to follow in the near future. Same Club owns property near the Golden Corral which will be developed in the future. Rumors abound daily about progress.<br />Wacker Chemmie is building a 1.5 Billion dollar plant, Amazon is building a million square ft. Warehouse and Whirlpool is building a multi million dollar plant in the city. A brand new airport will be finished soon with the capacity for large corporate jets. <br />I think this city of 50,000 is doing pretty darn well and the growth has been phenomenal the last few years. If you have not been to Cleveland in a while you would not recognize her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047095566316955789.post-41749563747802096922011-10-26T08:02:28.770-07:002011-10-26T08:02:28.770-07:00I have an idea.

Im the one who commented on August 5,2009 I h...J.T. Im the one who commented on August 5,2009 I had a much longer comment then but my computer lost it. I am a current resident of Cleveland. Bradley Square Mall was doing very well up until 2005. Before then the Food Court was full and plenty of great stores were there, it was a very pleasant place. Of course since the mall's early days the Kmart store has been competing with the Walmart located across the street. As I was saying, the downturn in 2005. In mid 2004 I guess, a part of Mouse Creek was re-routed leaving a sizeable land area near Paul Huff Parkway. Shortly after developers announced plans for the Hickory Grove Shopping Center(a mid-sized stripmall). To begin with, this plaza was supposed to "Help" business in the Bradley Square Mall. As it began to develop, area citizens notice the cleaner, more modern facade, along with Cleveland's first major petstore, Petco, a Pier 1 Imports(which closed in 2008 and is now housing Alliance Physical Therapy), a TJ Maxx,Books A Million(which is now an ALDI Grocery, following Books A Millions move) and a Goody's(which moved from a shopping center near by that has a Food Lion, Burkes Outlet, and Hobby Lobby).Now Goody's is closed and a Goodwill Store is there. A few popular things such as a Panera Bread, Chili's, and Rack Room Shoes are also there. Easier access was also given and you can see Hickory Grove from the road. In 2006 a small shopping center and Home Depot were built shortly past. Another property was proposed by a city millionaire in 2007, however, this land has not yet been developed because he went bankrupt after mental issues. The largest one of all was finished just in time for "Shopping Season 2008", the Cleveland Towne Center. It is located at the Paul Huff Parkway Exit at I-75 giving easier access. When it opened in October 2008 it boasted having the city's first: Target, Kohls, Ross, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Circut City. The Books A Million moved from Hickory Grove. The Circut City of course closed when Circut City Corporation filed for bankruptcy. To tell you the truth, more shop at Cleveland Towne Center now, Target has initially taken the place of Sears Home and Outdoors and Kmart. Kohls has taken the place of Sears Women's, Belk, and JC PenneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047095566316955789.post-66084125997937991872011-03-25T17:36:37.591-07:002011-03-25T17:36:37.591-07:00Yeah it is pitiful.

The only thing left in the Garden Express(nasty). I remember the arcade, it was awesome. This Christmas we had a Toys R Us Express and it did so bad that Toys R Us closed it on Christmas Eve and it was supposed to stay open until January 20th. The REX Entertainment place is now a Bounce Around. The other day I when I was there the white walls were partially black because they havent cleaned them in who knows how long! Finally while I was there the "BIG" part of the Kmart sign fell of and landed in the parking lot.

Bradley Square has been my favorite mall for years. I love that it isn't a great big mall like Hamilton Place. I hope that the movie theater will be built and breathe life back into it. I would also love to see FYE come back to the mall too. The store that was in there was doing well but was closed in early 2009. It is a awesome little mall in a great town and I want to see it survive and thrive again. I read that the mall has been bought out by a new company recently so I am going to keep hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2047095566316955789.post-72692262927190451932010-04-27T18:25:06.021-07:002010-04-27T18:25:06.021-07:00Me too.

Are you talking about a lifestyle center, new strip mall or what? It didn't seem like there was that much new stuff in the area to me, and actually most of the development I saw was very old. I kind of figured the local economy was not in good shape...much like in Dalton. I personally think it should have never been built...its karma for killing off Cleveland and Village Malls. Those malls may not have been much, but they were more distinct looking and were in a more established area. <br /><br />Crown America's malls in general have done badly. They had no regard for the existing malls nor the fact that their malls would kill the existing ones. They also had no regard for the fact that they always built their malls far from the retail district in smaller cities just expecting all the stores to follow like it would in a major city. When that did not happen, the old malls redeveloped, the local economy weakened and now they are struggling. I personally wish that the anchors would relocate to Village Mall including an expansion.J.T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04208881715255029485noreply@blogger.com
