The Village at Orange Mall
After hearing that this mall would be closing and demolished at the end of this month, I knew I needed to go check in out before it was too late.
I've always known this mall existed, but I never actually been in this mall until this visit, which unfortunately is now both my first and last visit.
The interior portion of the mall is set to be redeveloped into housing, while some exterior stores, such as HomeGoods, Sprouts, Buffalo Wild Wings, Red Robin, and Walmart will remain intact. All the interior stores, such as Bath and Body Works, Ulta Beauty, and Ross were in the process, or already closed.
The mall also formerly had a Sears and JCPenney as anchors which have both since closed, and a Cost Plus World Market which also closed. The former World Market seems to have held some sort of local furniture retailer for a brief period of time, but I believe the former World Market building is also set to face the wrecking ball.
The former Sears is owned by Transformco, so that building will remain in place for the time being despite being vacant. I have no idea what Sears/Transformco has in store for the space in regards to redevelopment.
