Mall owner
When The Dispatch reported
Leigh Mall would go up for auction
in December, it created an imme-
diate response in the community
and rightly so.
When the mall opened 45 years
ago, it immediately became the
catalyst for retail in the city. But
for well over a decade now, the
mall has been in decline. Sears
and JC Penney, the anchors of the
300,000 square foot mall, left while
eight of the remaining 34 store-
fronts are unoccupied.
As the mall owner, Security
National, fell into bankruptcy,
the mall fell into what Joe Max
Higgins of the Golden Triangle
Development LINK called a death
spiral — low revenues led to
deteriorating conditions and those
conditions made the mall less
appealing to new tenants, leading
to lower rents.
Current tenants complain that
repairs aren’t made and customers
are afraid to shop at the mall after

Over the past 15 years, a
half-dozen developers have
approached the owners to buy
the property, but have balked on
paying the price Security National
