Over the past few years, shopping malls have been shutting down all over the country. A number of once thriving DFW malls have already closed for good, and over the weekend rumors began to swirl that another would soon do the same. Luckily, the mall has since shut down those rumors, promising the metroplex that they plan to remain open.
Last week, it was reported that Galleria Dallas had been sold to property lenders. Many in North Texas took this as a sign that the mall that had been a Dallas staple for 40 years would soon be closing. Luckily, on Tuesday the mall's general manager released a statement, assuring shoppers their favorite stores would remain open.
According to WFAA, the rumors claimed that the mall would be torn down in favor of apartment buildings. "While the addition of multi-residential development to Galleria Dallas has been considered as one component of a potential long-term redevelopment project, the mall, along with its retail, dining and experiential entertainment features, is and will be the core of this Dallas destination," said general manager Angie Freed. Hopefully Galleria Dallas will remain a DFW staple for years to come.
