Retailers awaited Other than the anchor stores planned for both malls, Central Ohioans still don't know what retailers they can expect to find. Easton executives likely will identify the second-phase retailers as the August opening nears. Glimcher executives don't expect to make any announcement for Polaris Fashion Place, instead leaving information releases up to the individual stores. A mall is an ever-changing consumer product. It constantly evolves.
Space always turns.
Easton's anchor department stores will include Lazarus and Nordstrom. When Polaris Fashion Place opens, Lavender said it will look like it is fully leased, though 10 percent of the space could be reserved for seasonal retailers. Having no space would be like a bank running out of money. At Easton, Rollins said consumers should expect the phase-two stores to open over a period of months, at a pace similar to that of openings at Easton Town Center's first phase, which began in 1999. We'll get occupancy up to a little over 90 percent.
