It has nothing to do with the pandemic. It's to do with the demographics. The state is now very Hispanic. White people don't live there anymore, they don't shop there anymore. They've moved out of the area or out of the state. And things have drastically changed for the worst.
this has been happening for 20 years, Pandemic kick it into overdrive with online sales and people just not wanting to visit malls for shopping even more.

I've been shopping at that Mall for almost 40 years! It use to be called "The Mall of Orange," then they sold it, and renamed it, "The Village of Orange." My kids grew-up going to that Mall. It used to be PACKED! What about WALMART that's connected to that Mall, it couldn't be shutting down too! What a shame; I feel like a part of me is dying.
As housing costs continue to rise in Los Angeles/Irvine area with declining birth rate and abandoned malls, the new middle-class cities are now booming in Moreno Valley, CA and Perris, CA instead, due to affordable housing and decent birth rate by the continuous rate of newcoming immigrants from Central America.
I probably saw you there, BombayBeach208, I brought my kids there for many years during the 1980s and 90s to see Santa during Christmas time. Back in those days, that Mall was very popular.
There is a Walmart, restaurants, Sprouts, other stores facing the parking lot on rhe outside of the mall. Hope rhe whole area is not lost to cell block apartment development!
It’s sad when things go and people are like wow haven’t been there in years it’s so sad. Well if we shopped there they would not go away but people shop online now. Sad if it turns into apartments. Strange so many people supposedly leaving Cali so why so many apartments?

Build huge homeless housing, gigantic mental health facility, emense drug addiction rehabilitation and clean up SoCal, force all those with mental health or drug addiction to get help there. 10 years later you will see clean streets and much lower drug abuse and mental health issues!!!!
Let's rebuild! Everything changes, nothing stays the same. Demolish the building and build the condos . Keep the storefronts on the outside, build a large food court mall along the entire front end with a few bars and some nightlife venues. Give us food options. This is what the future holds. People will come if you give the people what they want. Food and nightlife.
When Montgomery Wards and Sears took over, people said the same thing. When Walmart took over, people said the same thing. It's just part of life. #ThankYouAmazon
What is that mean? Revitalization? Homeless shelter? Methadone clinic? Rehab center? Cal, California….. You got a cater to what’s trending, and that’s exactly what’s trending
There's nothing wrong with them at all. It's the the demographics. There are no longer any caucasian people in the area shopping, so therefore everything goes to hell.
Shopping in person doesn't mean you're "behind the times". Some of us can chew gum and walk at the same time. I don't have to pick one over the other, I can do both. Sometimes, depending on the item, I might want to try on a piece of clothing before buying it or I might need something right now and not tomorrow.
Actually, malls still had a little juice left in the early-mid 00's since online shopping was in its infancy and had not yet completely overtaken brick and mortar stores. I'd say at the turn of the 2010's is when most malls and brick and mortar stores really begin to decline due to online shopping. This was happening long before the pandemic. The pandemic was just in many ways the final nail in the coffin to many of these malls and brick and mortar stores.@@mikeluther60
Shout out to the bath and body employee interviewed. She has helped me at this store.
She’s the best!!!!
She?
@@kendi1417 she
Well maybe if you did more shopping there you would've helped her keep her job
Sorry that's a man 😊😅😅😅😂😂
I guess it is going to be leveled down and build appt complex.
attract more crimes
I remember when it was built. Sears was there first with their automotive building out back (not attached)…we were so excited.
The mall used to have so many great stores like Borders, Gamestop, and Carls Jr. to name a few. RIP Orange Mall
i remember carls jr
After the pandemic, the whole world change adversely.

Those places are staying
How very heartbreaking!

they need to do something, rehab & re-use the mall for something else instead of just closing. it's such a waste
they can build boring apartment homes , and they think that they need more residents to add to more boredom
lmao fr.@@ReynaldoAbasr
The mall just need to remove the roof and make it an outdoor mall like The Block.
You mean the Outlets at Orange 🤭
No one calls it that lol@@ocbusfan
@@FloridaJit434 Who’s no one? 🤭
I actually been seeing most malls being sold to home developers as they turn it into overpriced cookie cutter homes or apartments
They will receive federal aid and benefits and tax breaks to build my queen housing for migrant families at your taxpayer dime
Its better than it sitting empty and rotting.
@@ciello___8307not really the idea was that it would be turned into new real estate space.
I used to go there all the time as a kid. sad.
Malls have been a thing of my past for years. It was fun in the 80s, but gangs and high prices ruined that.
Mexifornia
gangs? lmao
Illegal immigrants ruined it.
Someone was not in So Cal during the 90s when gangs really thrived, lol
@@johnsmith-yi5zi I was and the state was still a dump.
After all that was the intentions with the pandemic right?

Finally! Lately this place has been a ghost town. It was better years ago when they had more restaurants like Todai!
Because of high rents and property taxes nobody can afford to shop anymore
What a coincidence, I was just there last week.
A crap state that will never be nice, like it used to be in the old days.
I never understand what Colleen Williams wears?????????????????????????? Did she have to inflate those pants?
Section 8 Housing.
So in other words more expensive condos

and all your taxpayer dollars go into that
What else is new...we all know what is coming...Luxury Apartments/Mix use. #SignOfTheTimes😊

Sad 😭
It hasn’t been the Mall of Orange for 25 years.
I haven’t been here since 2012.

now make it into something useful like a nature park of sort in this concrete jungle.
I bet it’ll be a Costco
build a South Coast Plaza alternative

Sounds like Costco 😮
another South Coast Plaza
Here comes another super Walmart or amazon warehouse yay!!
There is already a Walmart there
SAD!
Malls are a 70's thru early 90's phenomena. I'd say outdated for awhile. If you don't order online. Then you're really behind the times.
And that is why they are shutting down.
There's nothing wrong with them at all. It's the the demographics. There are no longer any caucasian people in the area shopping, so therefore everything goes to hell.
