WEST COAST, MINECRAFT
Round 1 Entertainment which is located inside of the West Coast Mall is closing down after operating four years at the mall, the arcade was previously located in the West Coast Plaza from 2018 until 2019 when they moved to the newly constructed mall. Round 1 decided to not renew the lease as the West Coast Mall location was doing poor in sales. “We compared our sales at other Round 1 locations and saw the drop in sales at the West Coast Mall store, after trying to improve the sales with no luck we decided to just cancel the lease and close down.” says a spokesperson for Round 1. Klett Brothers Development who recently purchased the West Coast Mall from Simon Property Group, says to not worry about the closure, “We were already made aware of the lease departure from Round 1 which is why we’re working with the plans to tear down the two anchor stores and build a brand new 150,000 square foot The Home Depot store with a garden center attached.” says Dominick Klett. The other stores located in the former Target which are Citi Trends, Mattress Firm, Hallmark and Rose & Remington will all be moving elsewhere. Citi Trends and Mattress Firm plan to move into the West Coast Plaza while Hallmark and Rose & Remington are looking for new spaces inside of the mall. Joey Tridelph of West Coast owns Joey’s Hallmark inside of the West Coast Mall, which is one of the stores that will be relocating. “I’m not concerned at all with having to relocate, there is much more bigger spaces inside of the West Coast Mall available for rent and I’m already working with the Kletts to help move my store.” says Joey. The CEO of Rose & Remington could not comment about the relocation but says the new location will remain inside of the West Coast Mall. No date was announced when these plans would occur but The Shops at West Coast shopping center was already demolished today and the land is currently being for sale by Klett Brothers.
