FAIRFIELD, OH (FOX19) - The new manager of the mall formerly known as Forest Fair says to expect a higher percentage of service businesses and a lower percentage of retail as the new owners redevelop the long-struggling Cincinnati Mall.

Karla Ellsworth, who works for Long-Island based World Properties, says that the mall won't benefit by trying to duplicate the type of stores that are already in Northgate and Tri-County Mall.

Instead, Cincinnati Mall is working on businesses, especially services, that are not in those nearby malls.

She says they are working with Candlewood Suites to bring a suites hotel to the former Steve & Barry's/Elder Beerman space on the south side of the Mall. They are looking for an experienced motel operator to own that business.

FLORENCE, KY (FOX19) - The Boone County Sheriff's Office is looking for a man who went all over town with a stolen credit card.  On Sunday, January 2, between 6:30 and 7:00 in the evening, the card was taken from a man's locker at the Urban Active near the Meijer store in Florence.

By 7:20 p.m., the card was used at the Fort Wright Wal-Mart on Kentucky 17 near 275. 56 minutes later, it was used at the Target store at Colerain and Compton in Colerain Township.

The next day, the card was used again at the Speedway on Colerain north of 275, then back in Northern Kentucky at the Fort Wright Shell station and the Fort Mitchell Kroger store on Dixie Highway.

The suspect spent more than 900 dollars.

Police have photos of him from the Wal-Mart and the Target.

They describe him as a white male wearing a hat, a coat with a dark stripe across the chest, and light-colored pants and shoes.

FLORENCE, KY (FOX19) - People all over the tri-state are racing to finish their holiday shopping. Florence Mall will be open on Thursday until 10p.m. and on Christmas Eve hours are 8am-6pm. The mall is closed on Christmas Day.
