Not as bad as you think
The mall around is usually dead, but Spencer's is still booming. They might not have many customers either, but their staff is always pleasant. They don't seem to constantly force product down your throat, like their rival stores. I've shopped at this mall as a regular for many years and I prefer it over other nearby malls. It's not as crowded. I feel like I actually have time to shop. Spencer's always has something fun and exciting and my kids seem to enjoy it. On top of that the place seems to always be clean. Sometimes there's weird smells, but you'd only expect that with such an old rundown building. Hopefully they stay for the longrun.
