Take Me To Post Comment Form I am the owner of Leonsmenswear in the Statesboro Mall.
I was notified 4 weeks ago that they were throwing me out like TRASH! There was NO reason for this action. We have a lease and in the lease there is a clause they can ask me to leave. We have been in the mall for 29 years. I have always paid my rent and been a model tenant. The owners of Statesboro Mall is a tyrant all they want is almighty dollar. I begged the owners to let us just complete our lease, which is only two more years. I have employee's that have worked for me for years and now they have to look for jobs. I myself will also have to look for another job after working for my self for 29 years. I guess we will have to get unemployment at this time after we close our doors 12/31/2012.
The mall just put up old prints of downtown Statesboro. They seem to say they care about local merchants, but I was told to get out because we were not a fast moving store and my sales were not as good as chain stores. This is what they want in our local mall. I really just can't understand what I have done wrong for the owners of Statesboro Mall to trash me out............. for no good reason other than they have the authority to do so!
