The Village at Orange Mall to close at the end of January
The Village at Orange Mall is scheduled to close on Jan. 31 after more than 50 years of operation. Shop owners, employees and customers react to the news - some with plans for relocation. Hetty Chang reports for the NBC4 News on Jan. 15, 2024.

I probably saw you there, BombayBeach208, I brought my kids there for many years during the 1980s and 90s to see Santa during Christmas time. Back in those days, that Mall was very popular.
After the pandemic, the whole world change adversely.

It has nothing to do with the pandemic. It's to do with the demographics. The state is now very Hispanic. White people don't live there anymore, they don't shop there anymore. They've moved out of the area or out of the state. And things have drastically changed for the worst.

I remember when it was built. Sears was there first with their automotive building out back (not attached)…we were so excited.
I've been shopping at that Mall for almost 40 years! It use to be called "The Mall of Orange," then they sold it, and renamed it, "The Village of Orange." My kids grew-up going to that Mall. It used to be PACKED! What about WALMART that's connected to that Mall, it couldn't be shutting down too! What a shame; I feel like a part of me is dying.

As housing costs continue to rise in Los Angeles/Irvine area with declining birth rate and abandoned malls, the new middle-class cities are now booming in Moreno Valley, CA and Perris, CA instead, due to affordable housing and decent birth rate by the continuous rate of newcoming immigrants from Central America.
How very heartbreaking!
It’s sad when things go and people are like wow haven’t been there in years it’s so sad. Well if we shopped there they would not go away but people shop online now. Sad if it turns into apartments. Strange so many people supposedly leaving Cali so why so many apartments?
I actually been seeing most malls being sold to home developers as they turn it into overpriced cookie cutter homes or apartments

Malls are a 70's thru early 90's phenomena. I'd say outdated for awhile. If you don't order online. Then you're really behind the times.

Shopping in person doesn't mean you're "behind the times". Some of us can chew gum and walk at the same time. I don't have to pick one over the other, I can do both. Sometimes, depending on the item, I might want to try on a piece of clothing before buying it or I might need something right now and not tomorrow.

Actually, malls still had a little juice left in the early-mid 00's since online shopping was in its infancy and had not yet completely overtaken brick and mortar stores. I'd say at the turn of the 2010's is when most malls and brick and mortar stores really begin to decline due to online shopping. This was happening long before the pandemic. The pandemic was just in many ways the final nail in the coffin to many of these malls and brick and mortar stores.@@mikeluther60

Let's rebuild! Everything changes, nothing stays the same. Demolish the building and build the condos . Keep the storefronts on the outside, build a large food court mall along the entire front end with a few bars and some nightlife venues. Give us food options. This is what the future holds. People will come if you give the people what they want. Food and nightlife.
No! That village needs Doja Kat. Paint the Village Red!
will turn into a homeless facility
