The Orlando metro area does not have that kind of demographic density without international tourists, like it or not.

Yeah Kyle give it up man. I used to live on Millenia Blvd next to the Mall at Millenia so I was there nearly daily, and I can tell you that you are flubbing the proportion of locals to international tourists. Sure, no one can argue the positive effect the tourists have had on the mall's success, but the Mall at Millenia is only 11 years old this October and is doing great. It usually takes many years for a newly minted high end mall to get the right mix of luxury stores that Millenia has had since opening.

"The history of luxury malls is that it usually takes 10-25 years to build the merchandising mix to be successful. But we were able to get these amazing retailers on Day One and it’s allowed us to attract others."
-Nathan Forbes Managing Partner for the Mall at Millenia

Clearly you're unable to process that certain high-end luxury goods are purchased by tourists and locals alike while others are likely only purchased by the local population. It's no surprise that you are happy to look at one anecdotal example while ignoring another.

You're continued hatred/agenda against the Orlando area is perplexing There are people doing well in central FL, even if you aren't and obviously, not everyone shops at wal-mart like you constantly seem to insinuate.

I think the Locals can support Mellinia and Florida Mall, But I don't think it can support both of the premium outlet malls. I don't really see many tourists when ever I go to Mellinia, Florida Mall is another story.
