Many of the national chains are closing all their locations: Macy's, JCPenney, Nordstrom, and other mall brands including Gap, Victoria's Secret and Sephora.

Now Simon, which owns shopping malls across the country, is closing all its malls. There wasn't that much left at Northgate, but now it's completely closed.
