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.
