Everyone is still talking about it!

According to one of the female SSFCU employees she said the rent "got too high." Same thing with Luby's we also heard the rent got too expensive as well.

So, is this a case of greedy companies forcing rent up so high that they end up driving away business?

Is this also the beginning equivalent of a "Windsor Park Mall" death for North Star Mall or will business rebound (assuming that businesses won't mind paying the "higher rent")?

Sometimes you "fire" customers by raising prices - allows you to get higher prices on your products. Have a feeling that they figure they can get higher rent elsewhere, so they jacked it up.

I think a credit union and a luby's is probably not the kinda of "upscale" customers North Star wanted, look for another tenant to come in soon.

Upscale or not, the higher rent forced them out after years and years of being longtime residents there.

I sure hope you're right.

The jewelry store next to Luby's (Lee Michaels) is moving to another spot in the mall, which means that most likely, the mall has struck a deal for the Luby's/Lee Michaels combined spot....

The SSFCU has actually moved locations across to Park North...but I'm sure the rent had something to do with it...

Seems like rent came into consideration but I think easier access for it customers might have also been a factor.

IMO...North Star Mall is beginning to loose it's "upscale" image. Silly little Asian trinket stores, low end shoe stores, it's starting to look junky to me. It still pulls in the business, I don't think it will decline like Windsor.

La Cantera stole a lot of North Star's thunder in the upscale department

I prefer The Rim over La Cantera. La Cantera requires so much investment of time I rarely go. I just about always get lost and have trouble finding what I'm looking for there. It reminds me of a giant souk in N. Africa. The souk is okay if you're with someone who knows exactly how to get around, but if you don't...well, good luck!
