Alabama malls finding new life in COVID pandemic AL.com 3/12/2021 William Thornton, al.com © William Thornton | wthornton@al.com/al.com/TNS The Alley is an entertainment venue that recently opened in the Gadsden Mall. Construction continued throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
When sweeping coronavirus measures came down across America one year ago, shuttering stores and moving potential shoppers online, many expected the final nail in the coffin for shopping malls.
But some Alabama malls - in Montgomery and Gadsden - are seeing more than just signs of life in 2021.
Montgomery’s Eastdale Mall, which first opened in 1977, now has only two vacancies in its 964,717 square feet. One sign of renewal is its movie theater, which had been closed since 2013. Richard Holman, the mall’s general manager for the past two years, since the theater, now operated by Goodrich Quality Theaters, is mostly done with its renovation.
