The Centre At Golden Ring
The new owners brought about the successful revitalization of the mall, which has daily traffic estimated at 150,000 cars. In 2002, the two-level Golden Ring mall was demolished and the space reconfigured. The site is now occupied by an open-air shopping center called "The Centre at Golden Ring".
Retail space has been downsized from 700,000 square feet (65,000 m2) to 480,000 square feet (45,000 m2). New property agents were brought in to put together a good tenant roster, which offered products and services that better matched the demographics of the area
Wal-Mart (157,500 square feet (14,630 m2)), Home Depot (138,000 square feet (12,800 m2)) and Sam's Club (131,500 square feet (12,220 m2)) now serve as anchors. Leases for the final phase of the project were quickly signed with a variety of retailers and restaurants including Petco, Mattress Warehouse, GameStop, and Panera Bread.

Famous quotes containing the words centre, golden and/or ring:
“In the centre of his cage
The pacing animal
Surveys the jungle cove
And slicks his slithering wiles
To turn the venereal awl
In the livid wound of love.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Nor envy’s snaky eye, finds harbour here,
Nor flatterers’ venomous insinuations,
Nor cunning humorists’ puddled opinions,
Nor courteous ruin of proffered usury,
Nor time prattled away, cradle of ignorance,
Nor causeless duty, nor comber of arrogance,
Nor trifling title of vanity dazzleth us,
Nor golden manacles stand for a paradise;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
“Rich and rare were the gems she wore,
And a bright gold ring on her hand she bore.”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
