Again - how many Gap stores do we need? How many shopping centers? 
All of To knolls Pike is lined with stores and restaurants but a big part of this development was to put in a lot more shops and restaurants. 
[b]Why am I going to pay to park and shop at the Nike store there or Gap or anywhere else when I can drive to Montgomery Mall and shop 200 stores or shop online? [/b]It’s good planning to put in things like restaurants and grocery stores and a few shops but we don’t need to replicate what is already everywhere. 
Some of those stores are just not going to be viable.
Even rockville town center is having huge problems and they have an ice rink as a draw. We just can’t sustain this many shops and restaurants in the county all in one area (more rural areas of the county are dying for better shops and restaurants) at high rents and with all of our crazy liquor laws and taxes (makes it harder to turn a profit).

That silly beach thing - which I’m told is a big toilet for rats and biting insects- is not a draw either. Maybe put in something decent like water sprinklers for kids and /or an ice rink. Ice skating or roller skating is a big date night, teen night out and family activity draw. [/quote]

So don't. Seriously. Not every retail establishment has to have you in its business plan. There are plenty of stores and restaurants I never go to -- I never go to Montgomery Mall, for example -- and yet there they are, doing just fine. Let Nike make its business decisions for itself.[/quote]

The Nike is store is closed already at Pike N Rose? Didn’t even last 18 months. This is the second store to fail in that location. Wasn’t it a sports supply store before Nike? [/quote]
