Retailer Wants Out of Dead Mall

The Austin Business Journal reports on a Dillards store that is trying to get out of its lease after Highland Mall's developers allowed it to become what the retailer calls a "ghost town."

This is the same mall that earlier this week was the subject of an NAACP boycott over alleged racism and xenophobia.

One of the mall's co-owners is General Growth Properties, a company on the brink of bankruptcy, as you saw here in late March.

Perhaps they should consider changing the word "General," to "Malignant," in light of recent events.
