At one time, malls were the future. Not so much today. Westmount Mall has been partially demolished to rid it of excess retail space. The Galleria in downtown London has lost both its anchor stores. Today one of the former stores is now the Central Library.
In South London, White Oaks Mall keeps on going but admittedly it has a good number of empty store fronts. Yet, when COVID is factored in, it appears White Oaks may be bucking the trend in London and remaining a force in the retail sector of the city.
Personally, I like shopping at White Oaks. It may be dreary and wet outside but in the mall it is dry and comfortable. And White Oaks still has enough stores to make it a one-stop shopping experience. This is a mall to watch.

I remember a mall that got torn down here with just two stores left. The grocery store remains as it was. The other store is in one of a couple of newly built smaller units on the property. It seemed to work.
