Although renovations have been put on hold during the busy holiday shopping season, the Statesboro Mall is taking on a new look as its owners embark on a major facelift of Statesboro's renowned shopping landmark. The renovations are extensive, and shoppers are just getting a taste of what the Mall will look like when the project is completed this spring. "We really wanted to have everything done by the Christmas shopping season, but we had to due our renovations in conjunction with Belks, and that expansion took a little longer than we anticipated," said John Gibson, chief operating officer of Hull Storey Gibson Companies, LLC, the owner of the Statesboro Mall.
