(KAIT) - After a long wait, something new is coming to the former Mall at Turtle Creek Mall property. In 2020, the Turtle Creek Mall in Jonesboro was destroyed by an EF-3 tornado.Since then, the lot has sat empty.But all that is changing.Josua Brown, co-founder of Haag Brown Commercial Real Estate and Development, told us that a client of theirs has purchased the property. They said they expect a new 96,000 square foot building to be built and leased to national tenants, some of whom used to be in the mall before the tornado.Arkansas State University students spoke up about what they would like to see there.Some want to see different clothing stores. “I would really like a Macy’s,” Sophia Bastidas said. “I think there is a lot of stuff that goes in there. I don’t really have a lot of time to go to Memphis because I’m an athlete here, so it would be nice to get a couple more stores.”“I would absolutely love to see an Aerie come back,” said Maggie Winders.“Just like American Eagle, the basic clothing brands,” said Lily Agee.“Bringing back like the Forever 21, the Rue 21, or American Eagle would be a great thing to see too,” said Zoey Winspear.Others want to see more food options. “A couple restaurants,” said Louis Gonzalez. “I know we have a lot of restaurants. I don’t know if we had an Auntie Anne’s in there or a Wetzel’s Pretzel, or something, more restaurants, better restaurants.”“Auntie Anne’s, I need pretzels,” said Braylyn Langel.“The food court, the food court was great too,” said Winspear.Of course, a place to get the latest tech and gadgets.“Best Buy or some other computer store here, just because I like computers,” said Terrence Moreno.“I would like to see a Best Buy come back,” said Reed Bigger. “We don’t really have a technology store here in Jonesboro, so that would be pretty cool if we could get that back.”But whatever it is, the people in and around Jonesboro are ready to see something come back to where the Turtle Creek Mall used to stand.To report a typo or correction, please click here.</div></body>
