The Texas Panhandle has one enclosed regional center, and it sits at Interstate 40 and Soncy Road in Amarillo. Westgate Mall serves a trade area that reaches well past the city into the surrounding rural counties and into eastern New Mexico, a catchment radius most metro malls never command.
Dillard’s and JCPenney anchor the enclosed core. The specialty weighting is broad because it has to be, covering demand a scattered rural population cannot otherwise reach: Victoria’s Secret, PINK, Bath & Body Works, Buckle, Maurices and Torrid on apparel, an athletic line in Foot Locker, Champs Sports, Hibbett Sports, JD Sports and Kids Foot Locker, and jewelry depth in Kay Jewelers, Zales, James Avery and Kendra Scott.
The absence of a rival is the asset. No competing center in the region assembles this comparison range, so an Amarillo-area or eastern-New Mexico household that wants department and national-brand shopping comes here or drives hours. Westgate holds its position not by doing something differently but because nothing else in the Panhandle does it at all.
