I see a few on this list that are no surprise:

Irving Mall, Irving, TX - the last department store in normal mode there. Mall is largely empty
Town East Mall, Mesquite, TX - already has the Sears anchor empty; Macy's going would probably continue the fall from grace for this one.
Shops at Willow Bend, Plano, TX - also dying and never really realized its full potential.
Acadiana Mall, Lafayette, LA - my local mall. Second floor already closed. Sears converting to storage, and JCP has already threatened to go once before. The only store keeping this mall alive is Dillards, a massive three story monster.

Many of these have already been on that "neighborhood stores" potential closing list for a while now. But this is the first time I have seen Salem Center listed. I am not surprised considering how dated that 1956 store is looking both inside and out.

I will also say that the list really drives home the point that their focus is moving away from all but the major malls in Washington and Oregon.

Sioux Falls is interesting as Dillards just opened there or is about to open there.

Stockton, CA is interesting too since that is where one of the three CA Dillards is, and also a still open Sears which I think sells almost nothing since it has very little merchandise to attempt to sell.

In Sacramento I'd seriously consider dumping Arden Fair OR relocating that into the vacant Sears or vacant Nordstrom as their store there is terrible; undersized and just a poor store, lacking in mix.

I still wonder if leaving Sunrise in Citrus Heights is the right decision; the mall isn't doing well anymore but that location is so central and generally the surrounding area is pretty solid middle class. The Roseville mall is a complete zoo.

The Arizona location at Superstition Springs Center is not a surprise.

That mall and location was doomed ever since they opened SanTan Village 8 miles (and about a 15 minute drive) away and closer to more affluent shoppers. That mall is the newer "twin" to the since demolished Paradise Valley Mall in that it has (up until this point) kept most of the anchor tenants tenanted (except for Sears, but it was a later closing) while the mall interior has been languishing for the better part of the last 15 - 20 years. After the Fiesta Mall closed down the freeway this mall got some more investment about 5-10 years ago but it just seems to be too large and in the wrong neighborhood and too close to SanTan Village to really ever be as successful as it could be.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Superstition Springs Dillard's become a clearance center in the not so distant future.

I think Dillards has enough clearance centers in AZ right now with the 2 they currently have. They need one to close, then they can convert that one. They let Desert Sky stay a full service store way longer than I ever thought they would but finally converted that. But I'm not clear what their exit strategy at Desert Sky is, don't know if they own or lease.

I don't know what they will do about Casa Grande. If that just stays a clearance center basically forever since I see no logical exit strategy there as I suspect they own the property and doubt anyone is going to want it. If they lease it then I'm sure it is gone at end of lease term.

I was only suggesting that due to the proximity of Superstition Springs to SanTan Village (the A "mall" in the general area) and the general tenant type at Superstition Springs. This is a mall where Ross and TJMaxx are both junior anchors and the surrounding strip centers are significant vacancies.

Honestly Superstition Springs probably is closer to Dillard's current target demographic but in this day and age 2 stores 8 miles (15 minutes) apart in suburbia probably doesn't make a ton of sense (as Macy's seems to be proving) especially when one is clearly in a declining retail zone.

I think for them it is all about the real estate. The clearance stores are clearly designed for when a store has reached "end of life" for them. Run it on fumes until figuring out how to get rid of it.

I think Dillards still has a while to go with a full service store at Superstition Springs. But a Macys exit may really hasten the demise of that mall. That mall is pretty dead most of the week from what I can tell.

None of the PA stores are surprising at all...they are all dead or quickly dying malls. I stopped in the mall in Altoona a few years ago and just from peeking in the Macy's, it seemed to be very, very lightly stocked.

West Valley Mall in Tracy, California is a very tired looking mall that was built in the 90s. There are many vacant stores and an abandoned Sears. The entire mall seems very depressing. There are few customers and the only store that does decent business is Target. Tracy is a distant suburb of the San Francisco Bay Area surrounded by grasslands and close to farms.

Closing that Macy's would be no surprise.
