Macy's: (14 stores)

So sad because this puts many malls on their death bed.
Some of these stores have followed Sears out the door, as in the case with Chambersburg and Rutland. In Rutland, the only anchor left at the Diamond Run Mall is Kmart now.
In Chambersburg, this leaves only Burlington Coat Factory and Bon Ton as its anchors, and these guys are no strangers to closing or relocating.
Susquehanna Valley Mall and Nittany Mall will probably recover as long as no other anchors close in the immediate future. These two malls are pretty upscale as I've been to both before. (No pics of Nittany Mall though)
I'm not surprised Macy's is closing Shoppingtown Mall location, but it is defintely bad news for this already dying mall. This only leaves JCPenney, Sears and Regal as its anchors now. Kind of ironic I'm posting pictures of the mall its in. Warren Kmart all over again.
