Hanes Mall gets a face-lift BY COURTNEY GA1LLARD THE CHRONICLE Hunt's Mall, (he largest mall between Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, has been undergoing exterior and interior renovations since February. The mall's facelift comes after CBL Associates Prop erties Inc. took over the manageri al reins last year. CBL, based in Chattanooga, Tenn., is a real estate investment trust that primarily owns and develops regional malls and is an active developer of community centers. The company oversees more than 50 properties through out the country. "The whole architectural feel and look has changed," said Bren da McNeeley, marketing director for Hanes Mall, who says that ren ovations will be completed by November, just in time for the hol iday season. CBL has not released an exact figure on mall renovatioi^expens es but McNeeley estimirtes it is costing somewhere in the mil lions. It has been 10 years since the last time Hanes Mall was ren ovated. That was when the size of the mall was nearly doubled with an addition. "Most malls are (installing carpet) to increase the length of your shopping experience ...Hopefully all of our amenities will increase the leQgth of (customers) shopping." said McNeeley, who hopes that patrons of the mall will no longer separate the original mall from its addition as "the old side and new side" but come to know it as one complete shopping center. Shoppers will notice a brand new. fancy "H" logo at all mall entrances, which are now adorned with stainless steel canopies. New external directional signs have been added, and the interior of the mall is painted in a lighter color palette. New carpet, tile and hard wood flooring have been put in place, and soft seating and cafe tables have been added through out the mall to accommodate food facilities) A sound system has also been added with speakers at all mall entrances, allowing for music, advertisements and announce ments to be aired. Restrooms have been remodeled, and a family rest room, complete with nursing room, has been added for parents and small children. "(Renovations) are definitely very family-entertainment orient ed and going in that direction," said McNeieley, referring to the soft play area for children that has been added on the lower level in front of Sears. To allow for better foot traffic, a bridge was built (in the Belk court) so that shoppers do not have to circle the upper half of the mall to get to stores on the oppo site side. The lower-level Belk court will also be home to a new entertainment court for mall stage Photos by Courtney Guillard Above: The food court has been outfitted with new paint and lighting fixtures. The outside of the mall has been spruced up with new logos and signs. events and for customer service. A feature elevator is being installed there also. With competing malls in the region - such as South Park Mall in Charlotte and newly construct ed South Point Mall in Raleigh - undergoing renovations. McNee ley hopes that Winston-Salem shoppers will remain loyal to Hanes Mall and not feel the need to take their dollars elsewhere. "Obviously we can't survive on Winston-Salem alone, so we reach out to secondary and tertiary markets. I don't know how many of our shoppers go to Raleigh. I know there's some stores there that we don't have, but hopefully in the next year we'll have (new stores) and (shoppers) won't have to go any further....I think they'll remain loyal," said McNeeley, who indicated that "awesome things are in the work" at Hanes Mall. Many events are planned for Nov. 2-10. when the mall will hold its grand unveiling. Events will include giveaways, door prizes, costumed characters, hot air balloon rides, musical per formances, face painting and Santa Claus. 1 ONE DAY SALE 1 | 2-DAY ONLY FINE JEWELRY BONUS COUPON | ENTIRE PURCHASE I SALE-PRICED OR CLEARANCE I FINE JEWELRY No discount on Best Values.
