Mesa's Fiesta Mall closure
Jan. 9, 2017

It happened just two months before Christmas, a telling sign of the times for Mesa's Fiesta Mall.

That's when national electronics big-box retailer Best Buy shuttered its store at the mall. The two-story anchor building was constructed in 2007 for the store, which relocated from across the street. Dick's Sporting Goods occupied the top floor of the building and vacated a year ago.

Many residents may see Best Buy's closing as another nail in the coffin of the once premier regional shopping center at Alma School Road and Southern Avenue. Today, more than half of the mall's spaces are vacant , including half of the food court. An AT&T store closed after Christmas.

Goodbye, Metrocenter Mall: Why A Developer Plans To Demolish A Phoenix Landmark
October 13, 2016

When Metrocenter mall opened in 1973 many considered it "the place" to go in Phoenix. Located just off Interstate 17 between Dunlap and Peoria Avenues, Metrocenter was believed to be the first mall west of the Mississippi River to have five department stores.

Today, just two remain open and the mall sits in the middle of a city-designated blight area.

Goodbye, Metrocenter Mall: Why A Developer Plans To Demolish A Phoenix Landmark
October 13, 2016

The Metro Centre & Fiesta Mall were built in the early 1970's and were victim of the old age. not because of a horrible economy & population loss's like WNY
Also 100's of new modern malls & shopping centre's were built near them , and several more are under construction & being planned. Metrocenter is already being replaced with a new Super Walmart Shopping center & several 15 to 20 story mid rises which will be a mix of office, condo's & apartments. Also a new light rail line connecting Metro Centre to Valley Rail system will open in 2019

Seriously Golfworld/Sun Splash - you call that a 'real' tourist attraction. I bet everyone that visits that place comes from within a 50 mile radius. No one travels from states away to go see a mini golf place and a water park.

Mesa, AZ has 21 Malls and shopping centers in the area, , into Phoenix has 19 more, not hundreds. And note most are shopping centers, not malls.

But I'm sure you'll come back to tell me how wrong I am
