Kansas

Kansas malls have a 3-year foot traffic CAGR of 5.77% — one of the strongest growth rates in the country — with 776 shopping centers at 96.6% occupancy and $27,954 in retail spending per capita. This is a state quietly on the rise, where retail demand is outpacing supply.

Kansas consumers are nearly 20% less likely to shop online than the average American — meaning in-store is where the sale actually happens. Specialty leasing here means reaching a captive, high-converting audience that's still choosing the mall over the algorithm.
