A farmer's market moved in on the west end (facing the highway) and I finally stopped in to check it out and it's barely occupied. I think they've been open since the fall of 2019. 23,000 square feet of pretty much emptiness. I imagine the pandemic didn't help things out any, but I would have thought they'd do much better for occupation than they have - it's the same people who had the Symon's Valley market. I think that mall is cursed, figuratively speaking. Everyone must just be losing their shirts. The only place I ever see sort of busy is that other store on the west end, The Best Shop. I've been in it a couple of times now, picked up some odds & ends.
