The Bangor Daily News reported that national retailer Deb Shops and The Maine Jump-Presque Isle, a family entertainment center, are leaving the mall.
Deb Shops is in the process of closing 287 stores across 42 states after declaring bankruptcy in December, the newspaper said. The stores will close once all inventory is sold.
