I do okay in the other 2 malls as well, both in very small towns but having good traffic or something adjacent that brings the traffic to the door. Right now is the quietest time of year, January and February in rural midwest, with snow on the ground and lousy temperatures, things are dead. I will be going with picnic and camping stuff, spring bright linens and some brightly colored art in the next weeks. The search is neverending! Keep looking for good stuff, it's out there!
