I still like to shop at a mall. It's a large shopping area full of small shops where you can find everything from clothes to entertainment to jewelry.

Sure, the malls we knew growing up in the '80s and '90s are a thing of the past. but they're still a vibrant option for consumerism.

You Can Buy Your Own East Texas Mall

Being a kid in the '80s and a teenager in the '90s, I remember being thrilled about going to the mall either as a family or with my friends. We'd walk through the shops like Gadzooks and find cool shirts or stickers for our cars. Then we'd swing by the arcade to play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and/or Street Fighter 2.

Nostalgia is a wonderful thing, isn't it? Today's malls don't have that same thrill but are still fun to shop at. Stores like EntertainMart J.C. Penny or whatever trendy shops are popular thing today are always full of their target customer.

East Texas Mall is for Sale

It was recently discovered that one of the most popular malls in East Texas is up for sale, the Longview Mall. The Longview Mall was opened in 1978 and was also the birthplace of the Great Texas Balloon Race.

crexi.com lists the Longview Mall at just over 42,000 square feet and says that it is 98% occupied as of right now. There is no price listed for the property but it does say the mall has a Net Operating Profit (NOI) of $5.74 million.

What Would You Do With It?

If you can get the right investors behind you, the Longview Mall can be yours. Would you keep it the same? Would you give it a retro vibe from the 80s and 90s? It'd be a cool piece of property to own.
