Our local mall is so empty that they started walling off storefronts so it wouldn't look like a ghost town. However, they still seem to be making money off store rentals. IIUC the cost of renting a storefront is insanely high. Plenty of stores are thriving, but few are at the Mall.
I was in the Barnes and Noble the other day, and they are doing well, but about a quarter of the store is devoted to children's merchandising around Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc. .
