carlsongary+FollowMall Makeover Leaves Shops in the DustNorthlake Mall in Charlotte is getting a facelift, but it's not all good news. The new owners, Hull Property Group, are shaking things up by pushing out small businesses, including some Black-owned shops. Even stores with valid leases, like Modified Kicks, are being shown the door. The mall is becoming a ghost town as big names like Forever 21 and Kay Jewelers also exit. With no clear plan to fill the empty spaces, local business owners are worried about the future. It's a retail shake-up with a lot of unanswered questions. #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailShakeUp00Share
