"Every year, we search through the list of properties in our database, looking for just the right one for the cover of our newest book which has metamorphosed, just as the industry has, into providing coverage way beyond the standard enclosed mall retail project. Retail has changed dramatically over the past decade and we now see it tied in with a
variety of other venues and attractions. Therefore, we try to reflect this in
our cover images as well. Historically, our covers have always featured an exciting new retail project or one that has experienced a major renovation very recently," explained Tama J. Shor, Publisher of Directory of Major Malls. "When we saw this recently opened retail destination in Florida with its stunning architecture and vibrant shopper activity, plus its location and tie-in to the race track, we knew we had the right mall to present on the cover on our 2012 directory and that they'd be very excited about it, too," she added.

America's Most Visited Shopping Malls
TravelandLeisure.com
For most Americans, it’s just not the holidays without a mall visit. Chicago-area Woodfield prepped weeks before the Black Friday shopping blitz, debuting an Ice Palace with a light show and Santa photo-ops.
After all, its parking lots are crowded whatever the season. Woodfield gets 27 million annual visitors—more than any other Illinois attraction (only 8.69 million make it to Chicago’s Navy Pier). A heady mix of shopping, eating, and entertainment options has turned malls across the U.S. into similar tourism magnets and coined the phrase “destination malls.”

DMM helps See's Candies Take a Bigger Bite Out of their Tasty Market!
DMM and See's Candies - A Sweet Relationship!
See's Candies knows quite a bit about smart expansion. Founded in 1921, and purchased by Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway in 1972, See's Candies operates over 200 stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington (with a Wisconsin store set to open in Spring 2011). Seasonally - primarily during the year-end holiday shopping season - See's offers its products in select markets in kiosks and pop up stores at malls and other shopping centers in an even larger geographic range, bringing the number of states covered to almost all 50! There are also shops outside the U.S. in Hong Kong, Japan and Macau.They've been using Directory of Major Malls data for many years to help make location decisions.
Real Estate Manager, Kathleen Pelzman, explains: "I have been with See's since 1979 and Directory of Major Malls is certainly an excellent tool for our research of Shopping Centers throughout the country. It is a huge resource for me and one I think could benefit those just starting out in retail and shopping center leasing. I have used it for many years - first the printed directory and now online - for our continual expansion throughout the country. DMM is my #1 tool, for the majority of our research. It provides the detail I need and the ease of navigating the website is really appreciated."
Tama J. Shor, Publisher of Directory of Major Malls couldn't be happier.
"Providing the data for great retailers like See's Candies to make the best possible permanent and specialty retail location decisions year-after-year is really gratifying to us," she says.
