Colonial Park Mall (2019 Update) - Raw & Real Retail

This is our walkthrough of the Colonial Park Mall in Colonial Park, PA, just outside of Harrisburg on October 23, 2019. This is an update video, both because of equipment and time. We visited this mall in the summer of 2018, and figured why not visit again on the way back from a long trip last October. It is a property we really like a lot and plan on keeping tabs on in the future. This is a classic mall first opened as an open air shopping center in 1960. It was renovated in 1990, but nothing since then. As such, it retains a lot of the feel of a late 1980s mall. It has an interesting design being on a slightly sloping hill, with many small ramps and sets of 3-4 steps every few meters or so. The Bon-Ton closed down as of August 2018, and with Sears on the rocks, this mall could be facing serious hard times in the very near future, with Boscov's being the only major anchor left. Seeing how little has changed in the mall over the last few decades save for an Escape Room and some stores shuffling locations, Colonial Park is going to have to figure out a new strategy to stay relevant. A task not very likely with Kohan at the helm.

We have been taking the time to visit all the malls within a reasonable driving distance to check up on them and see how they are doing. Also filming an updated video every year or so, regardless of the lack of many changes, just so there is a video record of the health over time. We think this is an important thing to keep tabs on, especially in these wildly turbulent times. The current health emergency has accelerated the impending Retail Apocalypse we've all been talking about these last several years. This was already a big problem, but the shutdowns and restrictions have made the issue 5x worse and likely hastened the death of the enclosed shopping mall. I know we've all been on pins and needles wondering how bad the fallout is going to be from all of this. There really is no way to know exactly unless we ALL go and do our small part to make it known how it turns out. I implore you, if you have the means to pick an area you would like to be an ambassador for, and go document your local malls. Whatever your medium, it doesn't matter, any and all documentation is necessary and vital in this day and age. Whether it be on Social Media, Flickr, Youtube, any platform gets it out there and preserves it for posterity. We can't paint this picture unless we all grab a brush... ---------------------------------- We utilize the value-for-value model here at RRR.
