The expansion area from how many years ago (?) still hasn't filled. The entire center is over filled with clothing stores, unless that's your shopping goal there's little reason to go and eventually you have enough clothing and don't need to go back as quickly. That hurts overall foot traffic.
About the only new idea for a store I have seen in years was a place that was 90% beef jerky. They provided a clear value that if you want this product you will find something you want and will want to go there. Sadly it was next to The Legends which has sold on the courthouse steps and is mostly clothing over and over.
Picking the wrong store means alienating potential customers to the district as a whole. The goal is to bring them in for X and they also try Y. Cordish isn't stupid and hopefully they can afford to not be.
Any Hyatt restaurant or retail hopefully is filled with the same goal in mind, of being something that provides value so people want to make the effort to walk inside.
