For the last two years, Discount Mall has been in the middle of a battle between its vendors and property owner Novak Development. Now, half of the mall’s vendors have until the end of this month to pack up and leave.
Improvements to the mall are planned, including new roofs and facades, parking lot resurfacing, new landscaping, new lighting and an underground storm water detention system.
When developer Novak Construction bought the mall, the purchase sparked rumors that a big box retailer could replace the mall and its small businesses.
The Una Buenanoche toy drive, scheduled 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, will give 500 children $20 vouchers that can be spent at participating shops in the Discount Mall.
