Bye-Bye Mall Rats
Everyday just before 5 p.m., a message blares over the loudpeakers saying, "Any one of our guests that is under 18 years of age should be prepared to leave the center at 5 p.m"... Retailers complained of problems with shoplifting and security. And for many older shoppers — who are the bigger spenders — the teens created an atmosphere they did not want to be around... At Fairlane the number of seniors walking the mall has doubled since the curfew, and the mall reports better sales all around. So does the Galleria in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., which implemented a similar policy... There are already more than 100 shopping malls with some kind of curfew in place, and the number is growing.
