Totally Twisted Pretzels and the Shoe Dept. are the latest stores to leave the Schuylkill Mall.
According to the Republican Herald, the pretzel store closed Wednesday. The Shoe Dept. store will be closing March 5.
A meeting was held Wednesday with employees of NorthPoint Development LLC, Riverside, Missouri, who purchased the mall earlier this year for $2.1 million.
William G. Schwab, attorney and bankruptcy trustee said the closing date of the sale is Feb. 28. When the sale closes on the 28th, Schwab said he is no longer responsible regarding what happens with the leases. In buying the mall, the new owners did retain some of the leases for businesses, but have not stated what their intentions for the mall will be.
Totally Twisted Pretzels is planning to relocate and employees of The Shoe Dept. will be offered jobs at other locations.
