Failures and departures: the ledger at the same strength

2006–PRESENT

The corridor's losses print in one place, at the size the record gives them: Ann Taylor LOFT signed for Heritage Square in June 2006, spent over $100,000 on its build-out, never opened there, and opened at University Park Mall in March 2009 instead — the departure that later anchored a federal antitrust verdict (carried whole in the Heritage Square entry). Gumwood HP Shopping Partners, Heritage Square's own developer, surrendered the center by deed in lieu of foreclosure in January 2011 against some $33 million of debt, five years after ground broke — the corridor's largest business failure, and the reason this node's record is a court record. Martin's Super Markets' family ownership departed by sale on December 31, 2018 — an ending, not a failure; both Granger stores traded through it without a day's break, and the entry above carries it. The Bar Louie course runs the other way: the departure was Mishawaka's (the mall store closed March 2020 and never reopened), and the survival was Granger's. Venture Pilot, the Granger consulting firm of 2021, ceased to exist — the smallest line in this ledger and the only outright extinction of a firm of the ground. Against these stand the absences that were tested rather than suffered, and they close this section.
