As someone who works in one of the Old Wilson Bridge complexes, I concur, I eat at First Watch entirely too much...food fort to the rescue, maybe?

Yeah, this is my goto Kroger and I wish they would have done a little more to change the ingress to this place since they are making upgrades now. Although watching people drive around looking to find their way out of here then often resorting to illegal left turns onto Wilson Bridge provides so much entertainment.
Would be nice to have a truck pod for the far north side though...

Saw this article in Business First...I'm really liking what they're doing around this mall. Maybe they'll do what I've always wanted Easton to do.

I can't say enough good things about what they have done with that mall. I'm decidedly anti-mall given their life cycle, but I am having to eat my words with this re-imagining of the mall. The Saturday morning Farmer's Market is amazing and the storefronts are nearly all full. If you're free this Saturday from 10am to 1pm, its worth checking out the mall and winter farmer's market at the same time. Good stuff.

I moved down the road from this over the summer. Soooo glad to see this actually coming to life. So many times developers buy older properties, unveil grandiose plans to redevelop, and then never follow through. How many times has the 'Continent' property change hands over the past 15 years with no real change?
Given the location of the Worthington mall, right on 270 and High St., smack between I-71 and 315, it should never lack for foot traffic if done right.
I can't wait to try out the Pies & Pints. Craft beer + designer pizza = Happy Cbusbill :-)

I've not read details, but that project could limit access to the mall, or steer customers away from it if they want to avoid the construction mess.

Funny you mention that, Walker. I moved from the northeast side near Blendon Woods off 161. I lived through the 3 year hell that was the freeway overhaul there. I agree, it will be a MAJOR inconvenience during the 2.5 yrs this project will be going on (I'm not sure I will leave my house during that time). In a nutshell, I LOATHED the inconvenience the construction caused (tripled my commute time to anywhere), but once it was finished, it exceeded all my expectations for how well it improved traffic in the area. I suspect my experience will be similar with this project. All in the name of progress, right?

We had a great time at Pies & Pints last night. Pizza was pretty good. They have 36 craft beers on draft and a nice mix. Their wine list is very solid for a pizza joint and the markups are low. The mall looks great and will make a great offering to complement our downtown businesses.

Especially retailers like restaurants that have high levels of competition.
Just something I hope mall owners and new tenants are taking into account with construction looming.

or it could steer local residents towards the mall because they can't get anywhere else or its difficult to.. and now they have a 'destination' store of sorts with Orvis opening

I almost feel like the mall will get a lot of traffic from the south of 270 based on the greater population being in that direction. And to wpcc88's point, people might not want to deal with the interstate. I know a number of people look forward to shopping at the Shops at Worthington Place because they don't like dealing with Polaris and Easton. The construction will definitely have an impact on the area and will make it more difficult for people from other areas to make it to Wilson Bridge and High quickly.
