See's Candies

"I have been with See's since 1979 and Directory of Major Malls is certainly an excellent tool for our research of Shopping Centers throughout the country. It is a huge resource for me and one I think could benefit those just starting out in retail and shopping center leasing. I have used it for many years - first the printed directory and now online - for our continual expansion throughout the country. DMM is my #1 tool, for the majority of our research. It provides the detail I need and the ease of navigating the website is really appreciated."

"Genesco Inc. has used the Directory of Major Malls since its inception. A handful of years ago we also began subscribing to DOC (Directory On Computer). This has proven to be a great "one two" punch that is so easy to use, even I can do it! Finally, we've had good success with customized demographic programs that we have purchased from DOC. Updated every 6 months, it provides us with the latest, most accurate demographic information available to the industry. With multiple concepts (Johnston & Murphy, Journeys, Journeys Kidz, Underground Station and Lids) it has paid for itself many times over in helping the overall accuracy of our new site selections."

Street Corner News

"We started using DMM online last year. The completeness of the data, the accessibility of the site, the ease of use has made marvel at how we got along with out in the past. Years of reluctance to subscribe to yet another data service, I now view not having this system as potential cost. How many hours have we wasted searching for data that could have been out our fingertips all along?

DMM is a must-have product for our company."

"I have been a mall-based retailer since 1987, and have owned a mall-based retail business since 1993. My company currently operates in 500 malls nationwide, and we have an aggressive expansion plan for the next 3 years. I began using the Directory of Major Malls on my very first day in the industry and still refer to it almost every day. I consider it a crucial tool for our expansion plans. I've investigated other mall directories over the years, but nowhere else have I been able to find all of the truly important information on shopping centers necessary to grow my business.

After 18 years of use, I can comfortably state that DMM is the most productive and most useful directory of shopping malls available."

"I have been using the Major Mall Directory since 1991 to contact Marketing Directors for our audio products. I love the on line edition - there is no other directory that offers anything close to what the DMM offers as far as filtering the information that we need to keep our database of both old and new mall projects updated. Its a wealth of information and if you provide products or services to malls, its a MUST HAVE. "

With the Directory of Major Malls, I get a complete list of present and potential property managers and owners. It lets me see who owns what and where it is. It lets me personally contact the right decision makers to discuss our products and services. The cost of the CD is cheap compared to the time I would waste speaking to the wrong people.
