To survive after coronavirus, Maryland mall managers must get creative, economist says
The Baltimore Sun, 06/08/2020
As Maryland moves forward with its reopening plan, malls and indoor shopping centers are one of the last parts of the economy to unlock their doors. As RESI Chief Economist Daraius Irani notes, this has created serious problems for a sector that was already in decline. For years, online retail has been siphoning revenue and sales from traditional brick-and-mortar stores. The added stress of the coronavirus has already pushed retailers such as JCPenney, J.Crew, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus and Pier 1 into bankruptcy. Irani expects these closures to continue even after malls are able to reopen.
