I think a lot of malls suffer from being stuck in the middle, either they are not ghetto enough (like Marlborough) or they are not high-end enough. I think we will slowly see the malls in this part of the country be more price-segregated.

I feel like Sunridge is in this bind right now. Too good to be a ghetto mall (Can't see Marlborough surviving in its current format much longer), but don't have enough stores that people want which are in Market Mall and Chinook. Although Chinook is higher end than Sunridge should strive to be. It should be competing with Crossiron to draw in shoppers from the NE and Chestermere area.
