Malls are eager to bring in exciting new anchors that will draw traffic. Ridgmar Mall, in Fort Worth, Texas, has landed one with the SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium, which opened this week. The aquarium occupies space formerly taken up by seven stores.
Ridgmar needs to stand out in an increasingly crowded market. It has lost two anchors, Neiman Marcus and Macy’s, in the past year. Owner GFK Development expects the new aquarium will boost the mall’s appeal beyond shopping. “An aquarium is something you cannot experience online,” Ian Pierce of The Weitzman Group, told NBC DFW.
