How a Mall Owner Turned Vacant Stores Into Last-Mile Hubs

In this episode, hosts Lucas and Luna dig into the surprising turnaround strategy of a struggling regional mall owner: converting vacant anchor stores into last-mile logistics hubs. They explore the numbers behind the plan — how one mall in Ohio replaced a former department store with a micro-fulfillment center, cutting delivery times by 40 percent and boosting foot traffic by 15 percent. They talk about the economics for landlords, the logistics for retailers, and the challenges of retrofitting old retail space for new industrial use. If you think malls are dead, this episode will make you rethink what the mall of 2026 really looks like.
