Durango Mall has a lot of stores shuttered. There’s a TJ Maxx, Ross, Shoe Dept., Claire’s, Maurices, Zumiez and a nail salon left. In the last few years many stores have closed, including Bed Bath & Beyond, Pier 1, JCPenney, and Sears. Oddly Old Navy just opened in the old Pier 1 space. All the rides and candy machines were removed for COVID and never returned. Most of the benches are gone. No food court. There’s a rumor Hobby Lobby may take over the JCPenney store, and several people have suggested they should being back the bowling alley like they had when they first opened. I did have fun walking through the Spirit Halloween haunting the remains of this mall. Photo taken 1PM on a Tues.
I heard one plan was to knock it down and build apartments. Don’t know if that is still on the table or not. The current structure is single story, so I guess starting over would be more likely if they went with mixed use.
