Although business at the Macroplaza Mall has diminished, John Quinlan, its new owner, saw the mall's untapped potential.
So, Quinlan decided to purchase the property and pour $20 million into the mall, in order to completely transform the space.
Not only will the newly renovated mall guarantee a larger variety of places to shop, but Quinlan believes this project will revive the community.
"When the mall is fully rehabbed, there probably [will] be several hundred businesses that will be operating here providing a much broader breadth of services," expressed Quinlin.
