Ontario Mills Mall is Shutting Down

It was just announced via flyer, the mall will be closed until further notice due to Covid 19.

Edit:

I did not get a picture of the flyer itself. Plan is for the mall to close tonight, with potential to reopen on the 28th. The food court will remain open for carry out only.

The economic impact of this virus is very real........

How many jobs did Ontario mills provide? And guessing zero(except maybe the mall manager) will get paid time off

Read the headline, thought it meant permanently closed, said to myself ‘yup, another mall died’. Saw it’s a COVID closure and was a bit happy.

That place was the bees knees when it opened; Gameworks, D&B, that “zoo” it used to have near Gameworks, such odd things for a mall. I haven’t been back in at least 13 years so all I can imagine is it dying a sad and slow, painful death. Hope I’m wrong about business there on regular days, if just for everyone working there.

Ontario Mills was actually really lively still. It was always packed and people loved to go.

That's what I'm telling my friends, if they are trying to go back home this weekend is the deadline because travel is going to be severely limited

How consolidated? By city? I regularly travel from lake Elsinore to corona so how the fuck is this going to work?

You won’t?

If things shut down, they shut down. How Italy is doing it is that you cannot leave your house unless it’s a single person going out for essentials like groceries, to a pharmacy, to walk a dog so the dog can use the bathroom. If you’re an essential worker you can go out. But that’s kinda it. Very basic things.

It's not closing for good. It's just closing now due to Corona virus.

Just until the new government rolls in after the war, because our economy crashed , Then the mall will re-open under our new Communist leaders as a state run operation. -- Just kidding !LMFAO (?)

All the fast food places in the area were pick up and go only today. The only place I found where I could go sit down and have lunch was the Mills Food Court. Or so I though. Just as I was finishing security guards and some corporate type gal came around telling people that we weren't supposed to be sitting there. I did get off a "Would be a good idea to pick up the chairs then" before I finished up and left. Guess that was one of the first steps in the overall closure.

I couldn't think of the right way to call malls in general petri dishes.

If I hate anything, I just hate the parking lot
