Dick's Sporting Goods has moved into the former Lord and Taylor space with a new two level store. A new anchor sized Forever 21 store will move into their old space. The Dick's store only occupies the back half of the Lord and Taylor space. The front half has been carved into more mall space for what I believe will be more restaurants to further capitalize on Pyramid's ThEATery concept. There is also a new mall entrance being constructed. Other news for the mall is that it is slowly getting a new paint job. The pink and white colors are being replaced with blue and an olive green. Also, new escalators are being installed in front of the former third level theater/Best Buy/H&M. And the former Jordan Marsh/Macy's is still vacant. Update time.

Very few dollars here. The mall already has several Journeys stores, Lids, Hollister, Torrid to name a few, that bring the mall down. Nothing against people in this age group, I was once there, but you can't build a mall around them. The more "Urban" stores you have in the mall will mean fewer stores that cater to the 35-55 year old woman (who carries the wompum!)

That would be smart. They should put an Urban Outfitters where the old Dicks location is going to be. That would be smart.

Although I have seen this before (Buffalo). So now the current Dick's location will be empty along with the still empty former Macy's. Dick’s Sporting Goods does not need to be a 2 level store.
