January has brought a flurry of changes for the mall, some retailers have closed, while others are under construction. What will be the final solution and key to success?
5Wits - CLOSED
Escape room company 5Wits! has closed. The elaborate "adventure" themed escape room failed to be successful even located across from LEGOLAND Philadelphia which continues to draw LEGO loving crowds on a steady basis. In my opinion, it failed to evolve and to draw customers back for repeat visits. The rooms were so elaborate they could not be altered and once the customers figured out the puzzle to escape or win - why would they come back? Add in a pricy cost of admissions and it was obvious it was not going to be successful.
The Dapper Doughnut - CLOSED
Not much to say here.
Shake Shack and Other "Yet To Be Named" Restaurant - UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Construction is underway to build the new freestanding Shake Shack and another restaurant. This area is located outside of Dick's and Miller's. No official word on an expected completion date.
