Steve & Barry's Kids Clothing closed in Late 2006 from Bankruptcy, A.C. Moore closed in 2008 and moved to the "James Mall Plaza" which closed in 2009 when that Plaza got torn down. The Food Court was not doing so well, They barely had any food choices in 2008 and they shut the Food Court down completely. a Planet Fittness opened in 2007 in the Higher Carson Court, it was very sucessful and a Smoker Friendly also opened in the Higher Carson Court by the Entrance/Exit in 2007. Some people who were done in the Planet Fittness would hang out inside or outside the Smoker Friendly. The Planet Fittness shut down in 2008 and moved somewhere else. In 2009 the Smoker Friendly shut down and moved somewhere else. On December 12th, 2008. James Mall announced they will do a massive "remodel" on the mall to make it "new" and "modern" in 2009. A lot of people didn't believe the announcement since James Mall was pretty must almost empty, but they gave them a chance. And by Remodel they meant close the entire mall. A lot of people wern't suprised but didn't care. The last store to ever close on June 2, 2009 in the James Mall was the Dollar Tree in the 072 Mall Pod by the 072 Entrance/Exit. The Mall stayed vacant for 2 months before it being remodeled into a School on September 5, 2009.
