I would love a jcrew or Nordstrom 😭😭 girl can dream

Part of the reason for the security is they are required by JC to keep a pathway through the mall open 24/7 to allow people going to/from the Newport Path station to walk through.

I know right. Instead it’s 2 feet from your neighbors and behind a ShopRite

First of all, what drives mall failures isn’t the economy it’s the internet. Secondly, malls are closing nationally at a rapid pace regardless of your two examples. And third, I never compared Newport to either of those two, I (quite obviously) compared Newport to the malls that are failing nationwide.

Put whatever you want, but please god leave the sears, am I wrong saying that’s the only one left?

There’s a ton of unutilized retail already in JC. They can build no retail and there would still be an oversupply of retail.

The perk the mall has is it attracts out of town people to drive in and shop with reduced taxes. Which is why those stores do so well for back to school and holiday shopping. If you got a big list of items, that tax savings is worth coming here for.

But nobody is going to endure street parking or 3 buses to save money.

You’ve got to be kidding you think Apple is still a high end brand. At least the parts of it that are sold through the retail channel.

Apple saturated middle schools regardless of demographics with their products. It’s as mainstream as General Mills products.

Apple doesn’t sell the expensive stuff out of most retail stores anyway. The high end configs that cost money are online exclusives. Best you can do is walk over to a device and order online, then go home and wait for it.

Tell me about it 30k in property tax a year & I live in downtown Jersey City all my life

Apple is already at American Dream. Would make no sense now to put Apple in Newport mall.

Ohhhh shitttt that would great I’ve been living in the downtown area forever literally 4 streets away finally some new stores Newport mall been wack honestly lmfaooo

Sure, but can you also get Legos, milk, and makeup while you pick up the latest Apple gadget at Microcenter? ;)

Whenever I have come across an Apple Store in a basic mall it is usually because it is the ONLY viable location in the area/region, or it is taking advantage of a very specific feature. Like the Apple Store in the Eastview Mall in Rochester. There is no other place where it would make sense to open an Apple Store in that region. Or, like the North Star Mall in San Antonio, which is heavily patronized by Mexicans from the northern states that drive to SA (or, Houston) on weekends to shop in those cities.

The Newport mall doesn't have any special features to attract an Apple Store. And, has been pointed out many times over by a lot of people, there are many Apple stores (4+) in NYC within 10-30 minutes of DTJC.

There is also an Apple Store in WTC. I think it would actually take me more time to go to the mall then to just go to WTC. Though sales tax is lower in NJ which on Apple is not inconsequential.

>I wonder if that will help them overcome the problems higher-end malls that require a “special trip” suffer from.

Meh... Neither Short Hills nor Riverside Square seem to be suffering much at all, and they are exactly the type of mall you describe higher-end which require a special trip. They keep attracting luxury brand stores that cater to an affluent demographic that is less affected by economic downturns. I very much doubt anyone (besides you) would agree that Newport is likely to be more successful in the long run than either one.

That's true! Although I'd let the landlord make that determination instead of proactively offering that solution as a tenant.

DIY vent after sealing the window carefully.

1. tape all window joints carefully then create air bubble (foam sheet or plastic).

2. open door and with $20 box fans, bring in hot air from nearby 75 degree area. (if necessary, create simple tubes to move hot air using duct tape and cardboard or cloth. DIY less than $50. Winter will soon be over!)

Apple is in basic, middling malls all over the country

Theres only like 10 left in total

I went to Woodbridge Center recently, they have a Boscov's there, and it reminded me of Sears when they actually had clothes to sell.

If you described a metro mall to someone over the phone, this is it.

Recently moved to the area from the Midwest. I tend to go to the AMC there. They seem to have a lot of security there at night after a late night showing, which is appreciated. Haven’t felt unsafe.

They are still charging for parking. It’s $4 for 3 hours I believe. It’s not the worst, but if you see a movie, it’s can turn it to $8. (Though, I think you can get a voucher at CS)
