1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news. 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 2: Steven Yelloff, the president and CEO of Tanker, a leading 3 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 2: operator of open s shopping centers across twenty US states 4 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 2: in Canada, joins US now to discuss this sector and 5 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 2: your business. Sir Stephen good To, can't chat with you. 6 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,080 Speaker 2: Thank you, John, Thanks for them. Let's get into this. 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 2: Traditionally we talk about a Macy's and the Bloomingdale's being 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 2: that anchor retailer in them all. How has that changed 9 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 2: and how are things developed for you? 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 3: You know, the footprints of our shopping centers are considerably 11 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 3: smaller than the larger regional malls, So for US, anchor 12 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 3: retailers are in the twenty five thousand to thirty five 13 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 3: thousand square foot range, so far less reliant on any 14 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 3: one tenant in any of our shopping centers. But there's 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 3: still great draws. So Bloomydale still has an outlet business 16 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 3: Sacks off Fifth too, both of which they facilitate brands 17 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 3: that you wouldn't get in typical lifestyle stores that you 18 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 3: have in our our. 19 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 2: Shopping So much has been written at about this sector 20 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: of this industry in the last ten years. Usually it 21 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: got something like this, most dreadful dying. 22 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: It's the end. 23 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 2: It's not for you. You see things quite differently. 24 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, you know, ever since COVID, the 25 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 3: open air shopping center has really been sort of the 26 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 3: highlight in our sector. People like the place where they 27 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 3: can gather, where it becomes a community space. So the 28 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 3: outlet centers of ten fifteen years ago really power shopping experiences. 29 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 3: But now they're evolving. We're changing the uses. We're filling 30 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 3: some of that vacant see those created by COVID with 31 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: different types of uses, not necessarily outlet uses. Bigger draws 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 3: draw retailers where people want to come and shop every 33 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: week as opposed to once a quarter. 34 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: How much are you seeing that bifurcation that we were 35 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: talking about in Macy's with respect to some of the 36 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: lower income shoppers. Are people who are more looking for 37 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: discounts and those who are willing to go to the 38 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: upper end types of products. 39 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 3: Well, you know, look, we see Macy's as a competitor 40 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: for us because Macy's branded value and that's pretty much 41 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 3: what we're selling all day. So for us, if we 42 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: can create more theater, if we can create more excitement, 43 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 3: if we can create more of an entertaining environment for 44 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: people to shop. And I think they find that when 45 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 3: they come into one of our centers where Ralph Laurence 46 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 3: store is end to end just Ralph Laurence, so you 47 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 3: can shop the entire lifestyle, the brand, the depth, the 48 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 3: breath of the product in one environment where the service 49 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 3: And that's a huge part of the business too, is 50 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 3: you know, it's interesting, you know all the different places 51 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: where one can shop online or large department stores. I 52 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 3: think there's nothing more satisfying to a customer that when 53 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 3: a service representative says, you know, you look pretty good 54 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: in that thing, and that helps sometimes helps close the deal. So, 55 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 3: you know, we want to make sure that we provide 56 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,399 Speaker 3: service where a lot of those other venues don't. 57 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: I need someone to tell me that I look good 58 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,119 Speaker 1: before I buy something. Look, there's a real question here, 59 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: and I guess I'm going to the question of the 60 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: consumer and the retailer and the ability to spend Right now, 61 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: there's so many sort of roader economic questions tied to 62 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: your business. To understand how many people are will to 63 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: shell out one hundred dollars two hundred dollars a day 64 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: for the experience for the walking up and down the 65 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: mall and buying some food in the process. Are you 66 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: seeing greater foot traffic increasing or do you see a 67 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: real kind of pushback restraint by consumers that have gotten stretched? 68 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 3: You know, so our traffic numbers seem to be pretty 69 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 3: consistent with where they were even in the peak, you know, 70 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 3: prior to twenty nineteen. We're seeing more cars now in 71 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 3: our center that we did then, and I think a 72 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 3: lot of that is because we're closer into where the 73 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 3: public is shopping now. You know, the old narrative on 74 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 3: outlet centers, we are so far out that it required 75 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 3: a special trip and a special drive. And now what 76 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 3: we're finding is people are moving to a lot of 77 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 3: the geographies where our centers are and we become the 78 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 3: center of the energy. And because of that, in order 79 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: for us to compete in those marketplaces, we need more variety. 80 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 3: And variety comes not only with better outlet retailers, but 81 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 3: it also comes with better food and beverage, restaurants, sit 82 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 3: down entertainment, things for people to do, and that's why 83 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 3: we're seeing the cars come, and they're coming more frequently. 84 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 4: When I grew up going to Tanger was a highlight, 85 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 4: you know, twice a year. Now it sounds like what 86 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 4: you're saying is you're making this habitual. How do you 87 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 4: do that? How do you see returning customers so that 88 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 4: it's not just I'm going to go to the outlets 89 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 4: once a year. 90 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: Well, let's take Deer Park, which is out in Long Island, 91 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 3: which might be a shopping center that you visited. So 92 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 3: you take a look at a center. Well, you take 93 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: a look at a center like that, So you know, 94 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 3: it's up to us in order to make sure that 95 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 3: we continue to drive customers into the center far more 96 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 3: frequently than they had in the past. It's just the 97 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 3: variety of uses that we bring and the brands that 98 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 3: people like. You know, the customers evolving, they're getting younger, 99 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 3: and you know, it's really a lot of competition to 100 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 3: get people off the couch and into a shopping center. 101 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 3: So you can't just use great creative marketing to get 102 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: a younger customer to come to your centers. They you 103 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: have to have the brands that they like. So a 104 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 3: lot of these new cool direct to consumer brands, brands 105 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: you only saw online, but now you're seeing these brands 106 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 3: in a bricks and mortar format. We're getting them into 107 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 3: our centers and they're serving as a big part of 108 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: that draw. 109 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 4: You said that rent and open air outlet is less 110 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 4: expensive than in a mall. Why is that? 111 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 3: Well, you know, open air, first of all, the common 112 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 3: area maintenance piece is a considerable charge to a lot 113 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 3: of retail. They get passed through the retailers quite frankly, 114 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: and in our centers, you know, when you're open air, 115 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 3: there's far less of that expense to divide amongst the retailers. 116 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: You know, especially in our shopping centers. We're primarily Southern based, 117 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: so you know, snow removal is a huge part of 118 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: the narrative too, especially now. Actually, we just bought a 119 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 3: shopping center in Alabama and within the first month that 120 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 3: we had that center at snowed in Alabama. Wow, believe 121 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: it or not. So there's an expense piece of that that, 122 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 3: you know, we at least see some savings. 123 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 2: Can we talk about crime and retail as well. If 124 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 2: we had some politicians here, depending on their party, they 125 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 2: tell you it was really bad, Well there was nothing 126 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: to see here. What's the reality in your business? And 127 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: is it regional? Is it state by state? 128 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 3: You know, I think it is state by state, and look, 129 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 3: it's a problem everywhere and it's something that we are 130 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 3: absolutely rigorous that when we dive in, and technology has 131 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 3: really played a great role in helping us think through that. 132 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 3: How do you thwart off potential organized crime? You know, 133 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 3: we have great connectivity back to the FBI and of 134 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 3: the great government agencies that give us alerts when there 135 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 3: are some things that are planned. And you know, we 136 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 3: have great surveillance on site, digital surveillance, drone surveillance, so 137 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 3: that if an incident does occur, you know, we've got 138 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 3: great opportunity to. 139 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 2: Do you find the pressure, though the burden is landed 140 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: on you to spend more on security, has this been 141 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: passed to you? 142 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 3: Well, you know, we look, we're partners with the retailers 143 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 3: in our centers and a lot of those retailers contribute 144 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 3: to you know, we talked about CAM earlier and they 145 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: can contribute that CAM cost. But you know, look, when 146 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 3: something happens at a Tanger center, it's Tanger that's on 147 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 3: that on that masthead. And sure it's a it's a 148 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 3: big part of our responsibility. You know, we'd like to 149 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 3: say that we provide a fun entertaining and safe environment 150 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 3: for our shoppers to come every day, and we'd love 151 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 3: to be able to, you know, sort of that be 152 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 3: our hallmark as we go forward. 153 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: And let's talk about multidecade highs. Can you wok us 154 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 2: through how this is shaped you a business in any 155 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 2: way Shapeful Foam. 156 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 3: Well, well for us, you know, being on sale every day, 157 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 3: and I think that that's a big part of the 158 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 3: narrative for us. You know, it's like the consumer we 159 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 3: were talking about trading down the consumer that rather than 160 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 3: spending their dollars on luxury products, you're really looking for 161 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 3: branded value. There's been articles written recently about even the 162 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: highest end consumer shopping in stores where they were able 163 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 3: to get the same products that they're looking for, but 164 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 3: get them at the best possible price. And I think 165 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 3: that's that's what we do every day. So we're seeing 166 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 3: a lot of customers that we hadn't seen in the 167 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 3: past coming and at least investigating and looking at at 168 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 3: our product, and I think we're converting a lot of 169 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 3: customers that way. 170 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,239 Speaker 1: It raises a question also just about your real estate portfolio, 171 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 1: because ultimately you do manage a whole host of different 172 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: properties and you own them, And I'm wondering whether it's 173 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: a time to be buying if you have all cash 174 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: and you can buy, because people who do want to 175 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: get out might have a more limited slew of potential buyers. 176 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: Or is this sort of a place where you need 177 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: to sort of manage a little bit more carefully. 178 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, last quarter we brought three new properties to market. So, 179 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 3: for example, we built a brand new center in Nashville, Tennessee, 180 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 3: opened in October, and then we purchased two properties, one 181 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 3: in Ashville, North Carolina, and then one in Huntsville, Alabama, Huntsville, 182 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 3: Alabama being a lifestyle center, not an outlet center, so 183 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 3: it's the first in our portfolio that is not outlet 184 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: or off price focused, and we think that makes a 185 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 3: tremendous amount of sense because of the team that we 186 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,839 Speaker 3: built in the platform that we built focused on leasing, 187 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 3: operations and marketing. We think that team can execute to 188 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 3: outlets specific and then adjacent to outlet, which we think 189 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 3: is what lifestyle feels. 190 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: Do you think it's a particularly good time to expand 191 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: and be buying properties because of the discounts due to 192 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: where rates are. 193 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, for us, look, we have great access to capital, 194 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: we've untapped lines of credit, We've got a relatively low 195 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 3: debt deeper ratio, so our balance sheet is very solid 196 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 3: and we are definitely in growth and acquisition rode right. 197 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 2: Now, more acquisitions? Why would you make them? And what 198 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 2: would they look like? 199 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 3: You know, we like the South. You know, we've been 200 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 3: very successful in the South, open air shopping centers or 201 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 3: you know, the hours of operation and the months of 202 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 3: operation or definitely. 203 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: Send us a that's a weather's right for you? 204 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 3: Well, you know what works for us for sure. You know, Look, 205 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 3: we're a Southern based company. We're based in Greensboro, North Carolina, 206 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 3: so we've we've grown up in that marketplace, so we 207 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 3: know it pretty well. And like I said, our last 208 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 3: two acquisitions were well, we built in Nashville, but we 209 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 3: acquired in North Carolina and Alabama. 210 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 2: We hear from certain industries it's easy to do business 211 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 2: in certain states than others. Would you say the same thing? 212 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: Definitely, you know, and it's I think it's more the 213 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 3: community than the state. You know, when we build a 214 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 3: new shopping center or when we come into a new marketplace, 215 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 3: it's really that community. It's the local government that needs 216 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 3: to be pro business or not pro business, and when 217 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 3: they are pro business, it really works out great. You know, 218 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 3: first of all, if you think about it, any one 219 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 3: of our shopping centers employs a thousand people, and where 220 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 3: do they come from. They come from that local communit. 221 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 3: So we're added it from a job network and job 222 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 3: creation point of view, but also we're a big tax 223 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 3: generator for a lot of them. 224 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: It's refreshing to hear you say it's about the weather. 225 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 2: When I first moved over here, I thought old people 226 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 2: went to Florida because the weather was nice. I didn't 227 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 2: realize it was about the taxes. Took me a while 228 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 2: to catch here. It took me a while. We look 229 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 2: at Jeff Bezoss to Florida without a doubt that's about 230 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: the taxes. 231 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, but open air shopping centers is about. 232 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 2: This about the weather of course today. 233 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: I mean honestly, in New York City, can you imagine, 234 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: it's like a complete snowstorm is raining direntially. That's sound, 235 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure. 236 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 2: Of, Stephen, Thank you, Stevin out if appreciate. It's a 237 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: CEO of tanger. This is bad human today, really
