By

DE-FI was created by owner and founder, Dayton native Caressa Brown.

“The House of (DE-FI)ance space is what I like to call Phase I, where the networking, training, professional development and business takes place,” Brown said in a release. “Phase II is where designers can have their product micro-manufactured or prototyped. We have a designer studio for designers to work on their trade and meet with clients. We are also creating a sound studio in the back space of Phase II where designers can work with musicians to create runway music for their shows.”

Dillard’s strong performance giving hope to Daytona’s Volusia Mall
By

DAYTONA BEACH — Recent news that Macy’s will close its longtime department store at Volusia Mall by the end of April has fueled speculation that the enclosed shopping center’s days could be numbered.

“Guess the Volusia Mall is going out of business,” wrote Tim Lauxman in a comment posted on The News-Journal’s Developing Daytona Beach Facebook group page.

Another reader, James Stropnik, wrote: “I predict Volusia Mall will be a ghost town in less than a year.”

Despite those dire predictions, there is a big reason for hope that rumors of Volusia Mall’s death may be premature. Make that three of them.

Namely, the astonishingly strong performance as of last of Dillard’s Inc., the Little Rock, Arkansas-based department store chain that operates not one, but three locations at Volusia Mall.

Dillard’s in its most recent quarterly earnings report stated that its net income jumped nearly six-fold year-over-year to $31.9 million

Santa Rosa Mall could get economic boost from residents of new apartments

MARY ESTHER — Trevor McIntosh has some ideas on how to attract more shoppers at the 45-year-old Santa Rosa Mall.

“I’d like to see this mall busy, like it used to be,” McIntosh, who has operated his Navarre 3D Printing & Laser Engraving store at the mall for about a year, said Thursday. “What we need is a bunch of small businesses coming in. The days of Sears and JCPenney are over.”

When the mall opened in 1976 at 300 Mary Esther Blvd., it had 54 stores, including Sears, JCPenney and Gayfer’s (now Dillard’s).

The Renaissance Santa Rosa Apartments project is taking shape behind Santa Rosa Mall in Mary Esther. The 229-unit complex is expected to be completed by the middle of this year.

But in recent years the shopping center has lost several anchor stores and various smaller businesses.

The Rise of the Zombie Mall | History

“Who wants to sit in that desolate-looking spot?” Frank Lloyd Wright carped of the atrium inside the first enclosed shopping mall, the Southdale Center in Edina, Minnesota.

But 75,000 people rushed there the day it opened in October 1956 and marveled at the 72 stores on two floors, the 800,000 square feet of retail, the 5,200-space parking lot, the 70-degree controlled climate. The Austrian-born architect Victor Gruen, already acclaimed for building the nation’s largest open-air shopping center, had birthed a new phase of American culture.

Fancy décor and a five-and-dime store: The Southdale Center dazzled and bewildered visitors in 1956.

Over the next 40 years, another 1,500 enclosed malls would dot the landscape, from suburb to shining suburb, insinuating themselves into everyday life so profoundly that just “going to the mall” became a pastime. Hundreds of malls, meanwhile, have closed and been demolished or converted, overtaken by
