As someone who works in the retail site selection business once told me, a big part of it is branding/marketing. You may not buy the Sony item in that store, but simply walking by it and/or quickly browsing through it keeps the brand in your mind.
The big banks often employ the same principle with many of their branch locations. A lot of it is about visibility.

Old women.
As for Marlborough Mall, it is a good site for TOD, not necessarily all low income housing. Some could be included in a TOD though.

Deer Valley Mall has actually seen expansion on the site with a couple strips of offices and stores on part of their parking lot on the east side. The mall itself is certainly dying and/or depressed though. I think the Co-op does fairly well, but that's about the only thing. I think the Zellers is actually the only one in the city that Target isn't going to re-brand/renovate into one of their stores. Not sure what will end up happening to it.
