Empty Strip Mall???

Commercial District of Horseheads, NY during the construction of the Target Shopping Center & Southern Tier Crossing

The Big Flats Consumer Square and Arnot Mall already existed in Horseheads, NY.  A regular Walmart was located in Big Flats Consumer Square but the store wanted to upgrade to a Super Walmart.  Southern Tier Crossing, a more modern shopping plaza designed like an outdoor mall, was built which included the Super Walmart.  Customers started to use this shopping center more than the existing shopping centers which caused many stores to go out of businesses or to relocate to the new shopping center.  As a result, Big Flats Consumer Square remains mostly empty and the mall has been loosing business.  What a waste...
