Im afraid I cannot answer why they raise the rent. Most likely to be able to stay afloat with the ever rising online shoppers. I myself havent been to a mall in years. As you mentioned..there are no stores left to go to. The price of progess is a piece of Americana..saddly. Id like to see our malls filled with small business offering unquie items Id surely visit then. The Crystal river mall has suffered the same fate. I would visit there weekly to see a vendor specializing in collectable geodes. Unfortunately the mall raised his rent and he moved on. Sometimes progress bites. Im sorry to say.
Online shopping is more popular now and they will keep raising the shops rent, til the mall is empty
They want money
