Subject: Keys to Pizza Pub @ West Ridge Mall are with Dale Anderson

I dropped off the keys to Dale Anderson.

What an unpleasant moment and an embarrassment for your company.

As I came in Celeste was sitting her desk and Dale Anderson was in the hall talking to Karen.  I announce to him I was turning in the keys. He looked down the end of his nose and told me to leave them with Celeste. I mentioned I wanted a receipt. He barked at Celeste giving the instructions to give me a receipt.

Then I asked about the freezing rolls deal – he rolled his eyes and made a waving gesture then walked in to Karen’s office and shut the door. Celeste seemed reluctant to sign the receipt and I asked her of have Dale sign it. She said “I do not want to lose my job”. I got her initials.

Soon Dale walked out and turned to go this his office. I said “Dale it is good to see you”  his response was “Henry it is NOT good to see you get your receipt and get out”.

Regardless of any business issues that might be unpleasant at the end of the day I’m a shopper with money to spend. The general Manager of a failing mall should be more welcoming. The space you own is over 50% vacant and people make a contest of counting the vacancies.

Lou Conforti has been on CNBC done other interviews and is rhetoric and Dale Anderson practices are diametrically opposite. As a stock holder I’m appalled at how you do business. As a Mall leasing manager from the MaceRich Company is see you company imploding in front of my eyes. As a real estate broker that has done 3 deals that took 8.67 months to get done I would never bring a deal to you company again. When Butch Knerr quit your goose was cooked.

You use the old play book of lawyering up instead of adding value and just doing deals. You never NOT lifted a finger to mitigate the damages of Pizza Pub. As one of the owners of Pizza pub we have wanted out of the mall from April 2017 and Ben Deiser did nothing. Ben promised a rent concession too. In fact we know he was told to back burner West Ridge Mall and just focus on Northwoods in Peoria. Dale Anderson mentions in email how heavy handed the mall is to local tenants and can’t wait to see him testify to that. You are blocking the Freezing Rolls assignment out of spite or stupidity.  

As the developer/Broker for Freezing rolls you are demanding $60K in damages. In reality you spent $8k with Falk Architects and never relocated the security office to make way for our deal. In fact Dale Anderson would not even let me in the space with Falk before the lease was signed. It sat on Chris Bailey’s desk for 45 days after the tenant executed it. This is no way to run a mall. We will pay the $8k for the new plans of the security office out of the security deposit and move us top Pizza Pub today. I can get the store open in 60 day if we press on.

As a stockholder killing the great life deal was the most idiotic move in local mall leasing. Dale Anderson working against the deal in the community was his ego gone awry. Dale is more interested in showing you his Vietnam war resume and help a deal get approved from a local broker. He is the epitome of it has to be “his idea” to fly. Tortious interference would be my claim against Dale except he interfered with his own companies contract. Churchill once commented about Neville Chamberlin “an empty carriage pulled up and out popped Neville Chamberlin.” Dale is an empty suit retired and does not know it.

My list could go on like the time I want to show master cuts. Called Ben Deiser 2 or 3 time and sent and email about my desire to show master cut later that day to a client. “Crickets” so I went to the Mall office where I was informed I need to give 24hour notice to show space. The client laughed and said “they do not want to lease space here; no wonder they have so much vacancy. She was prolific.

It is so sad to see the mall business dead. WPG is killing it in Topeka.

SAD.

West Ridge has spent years of high handed dealings with the main players in the area ...... understatement.

Subject: RE: West Ridge Mall

Unfortunately, my impression is that there is little interest in doing anything for the mall by the chamber, city or any other of the public organizations. They all seem to be very impressed with their efforts in Downtown. There is going to have to be a major shift in attitude to change that.

West Ridge has spent years of high handed dealings with the main players in the area and I think Simon likely carried the feeling for them to stay out of West Ridge business to an extreme. It is not going to be easy to change that perception. Until we are successful in proving we are a community player, my opinion is not much is going to change. I haven’t even been here 90 days and they have seen a succession of leaderships come and go. These folks are going to take a wait and see attitude.

If you disagree, please give me a solution. I all for any short cuts we can find.

Is the Great Life deal going to move forward without money from the city?

Thanks for the catch on the e-mail address.

Old system phone so I do not have direct dial (both a curse and blessing). We are working on getting the system upgraded.
