After extensive research, CORE found that there was a void in the "suburban" malls surrounding the metropolitan area. Through years following the recession, the fashion-forward, niche ,young-professionals deemed it as "uncool" to shop in malls because every option had become too commercial. Working closely with brands based out of Los Angeles, Paris, Australia, and New York, phenomenal online sales were reported within zip codes where CORE is found. With a creative agency that consists of branding professionals from retailers such as G-Star Raw, Vivienne Westwood, Emporium,and former Up Against The Wall/ Commander Salamander, CORE plans for continued growth in Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Miami, and Washington DC with an aim of providing the most relevant emerging brands to a niche/ trend-based market, without over-saturating.To learn more, please check out www.shopcoreusa.com or you may contact one of our local representatives at info@shopcoredc.com. Awesome job on the just-in-time reporting.

Certainly your upscale tenants comment is appropriate, but you are being defensive where no offense was taken.<br /><br />Explain your pay to play comments if you will.<br /><br />Also, I don't follow the rest of your post if you can clarify. Thank you.

You're making it sound like I claimed the entire mall is Rodeo Drive boutiques.<br /><br />Westfield is doing a good job at Wheaton Plaza. Unlike the County, which has - thanks to Pay-to-Play corruption with their developer sugar daddies - presided over the decline of once-thriving commercial districts in Wheaton and Glenmont. All they were able to provide is an apartment building with a grocery store logo on top. Stay classy, Montgomery County.
