The CEFCU member center on Brandywine Drive in Peoria will close at the end of business Saturday, July 31, 2010, according to an official letter I received today. The reason? Business has fallen off since CEFCU added a new member center in northwest Peoria near the Shoppes at Grand Prairie and the new Sheridan Village Member Center opened with its five drive-up lanes.
It will be interesting to see what becomes of the property on Brandywine Drive.
Spend a $100 million and turn it into a Museum.
Excuse me…………. ‘World Class’ museum.
Build a shopping mall on the edge of town, businesses relocate, and the old downtown suffers. A couple of years later, build a newer shopping mall a few miles from the old one, businesses relocate, and the old mall suffers. This is happening in every city.
Bye bye, Northwoods mall!
