As far as the Texas (Triangle) stores go , I would divide them into the following categories:
Note that this does not include stand-alone Backstage stores or Market by Macy's locations
Absolutely Safe (they would be crazy to close these)
- Northpark Center
- Stonebriar Center
- The Galleria (Houston)
- Memorial City
- The Woodlands
- The Domain
- North Star
- Shops at La Cantera
Mostly Safe (pending any real estate-related factors)
- Galleria Dallas
- North East Mall
- The Parks at Arlington
- Willowbrook (this one has a separate men's/furniture store which could potentially be consolidated back into the main store)
- Deerbrook
- Baybrook
- First Colony
- Barton Creek Square
Moderately Questionable (it wouldn't surprise me to see several of these pop up on a closure list)
- Town East Mall
- Firewheel Town Center
- Fairview Town Center
- Hulen Mall
- Pearland Town Center
- Lakeline Mall
- Ingram Park Mall
- South Park Mall
High Likelihood of Closure
- Irving Mall (how this one hasn't closed already baffles me, the mall has been dying for years and has only been kept somewhat afloat by local vendors catering to the surrounding Hispanic community)
- Shops at Willow Bend (the mall is rapidly dying, but a redevelopment plan was just passed by the City of Plano which will be breaking ground soon, so this one could scrape by)
- Almeda Mall (the only thing keeping this one afloat is the fact that the interior was completely rebuilt as a single story after a 2008 roof collapse during Hurricane Ike, so the store is fairly compact)
