Syracuse's Saks Off 5th Gets Sacked

While Destiny USA is still Syracuse's go-to mall, it too is not immune to store closures. Take this, for example. Saks off 5th was one of the outlet stores to open as part of the Destiny expansion from the Carousel Mall days. While the loss of Saks will leave a vacancy, I don't expect it to hit the mall hard. Saks' parent company has been looking to close locations in an effort to be more viable. And with new tenants, such as LEGO, already announced to open elsewhere in the mall, it doesn't look the mall is losing steam anytime soon.

While in the area visiting family, we took a trip to the mall and I decided to get some photos before this store is gone forever.

  1. It's always interesting to me to see the liquidation signs used at "fancy" store closures like this (chains that don't regularly have liquidations). More often than not they seem to be made custom for these events, unlike the more standard styles you see in other store chains.

    1. It is interesting. I guess they have to maintain their image even when they are closing!
