On September 14, 2023 businesses at Valle Vista Mall in Harlingen were left in the dark after a power outage was reported.
https://www.krgv.com/news/businesses-at-valle-vista-mall-in-harlingen-left-in-the-dark/ In January 2024 there were reports from Harlingen residents who have first hand inspected and investigated Valle Vista Mall describing it as being empty, sad and eerie.
There was only one restaurant open in the food court, and a section where the Sears used to be was closed off to the public.
Last year, Kohan put the mall up for sale, listing it for $12 million.
At the same time the report states that the electricity company in Harlingen cut its power after Valle Vista Mall did not pay the bill — again.
