More changes are coming at the Suh Brunswck Square Mall — a shopping center beset by turnover for most of its nearly 25 years.
Friendly's, which has always done modest business, is the latest store to close with a rumored discount liquor store coming to replace it.
We discovered this tonight when we pulled in for dinner and found the restaurant dark and signless. We asked in another store and found that it had closed about three weeks ago.
The mall's consistent inconsistency is a little surprising given the location, but its layout and some other issues have left it vulnerable.
I'd like to hope the mall's problems are behind it, but its history likely is its future.

Perhaps the empty stores at SBM simply indicate we in SB are supersaturated with every \”store\” need. Maybe it is time to use that space for the social needs of our teens? A Teen Center could very nicely use a combined Blockbuster and Friendly's space.
It is a strange location as far as I am concerned. For some reason the stores are not high profile to the highway. Perhaps a different layout would have worked better. Even the Stop and Shop looks somehow out of place there.
