The future does not look bright for the once popular Chapel Hill Mall in Cuyahoga Falls.

The mall took a major hit, after another round of closings were announced. First it was Macy's -- now there's reports of three stores --- Old Navy, Express and Aeropostale -- will also be closing its doors.

Barbara Taylor, of Cuyahoga Falls, said Macy's will be hard to replace and the loss of the mall could be hurtful to the area.

"It's going to be detrimental, I think, without ths mall," Taylor said in the event the mall has to close.

"I'm just sad and I lived in Akron first and I saw Rolling Acres Mall die and it's still gone," Taylor said. "I don't know what will become of this."

Leane Hirsch, daughter of Taylor and also of Cuyahoga Falls, said with some of the bad press the mall received, she thinks some shoppers were scared to shop at the mall.

"When you read of people being stabbed or people being abducted, it's like okay, I don't know if I want to be here at night."

Hirsch said Macy's was the main reason why she came to the shopping center and added the mall doesn't really have anything else to offer.

"It will be difficult for this area not to have a place for people to get good quality merchandise," Hirsch said. "I really don't know any of the other stores in the mall and I probably won't come back up here."

Jennifer Hessedence, of Canton, said it's unfortunate that people will have to find other jobs because it's hard to find jobs after the holiday season.

"I think it's sad because so many people are losing their jobs and they really got no notice," Hessedence said. "I couldn't imagine waking up and coming to work and their like; oh you have like a month to work."

A sign at the Old Navy store says it will close on Jan. 26. An employee told the Beacon Journal that the other two stores will be closing, but did not say when.
