Today March 28,2007 it has come to my attention as a concerned parent that the mall management of Cary Towne Center in Cary NC is forcing out a small business. As a parent I have always enjoyed being able to go to Cary Towne Center in Cary NC for the simple fact that they cater to my children in terms of kiddie attractions from the carousel to the jumping house and in October when they added the train to their attractions. At least once a week (sometimes more) I have had the privilege of taking my children to this mall just to see their faces light up with joy. That being said on April 1,2007 Cary Towne Center has asked the Cartoon Express (the train) to leave their premises because certain anchor stores have complained. If all that Cary Towne Center wants to be is to cater to big business so be it. But for me as a concerned parent I will no longer be shopping there. If I want big business malls there are plenty to chose from in the area. I enjoyed Cary Towne Center because of their small town feel, but no more. If you are a concerned citizen of Cary whose children have enjoyed the cartoon express, let the mall management know. It is not too late to do something about it. We have time, but it is in short supply right now. Mall Management number is 919-467-0145 and Cartoon Express number is 919-481-4229 or email me at karen_a_smith2000@yahoo dot come and I will forward all correspondence. Let mall management know we oppose this and let Cartoon Express know that we are behind them 100% and that this is just not right. This is the land of opportunity and big business is still trying to make sure the small business owner does not get ahead. It is time to stand up and make our voice as concerned parents and citizens of Cary heard.
Pros: I used to enjoy it
Cons: Less kiddie rides because Cary Towne Center is asking them to leave the mall by April 1, 2007
