I think Henderson's biggest mistake was building the food court on the second floor, instead of the first floor with the supermarket that is its biggest draw.
The only reason it has that supermarket is because T&T wouldn't set up shop in that area way back when. It was even started by somebody who used to be with T&T.
It should revive itself after a few more highrises go up in the area though.

Vancouver/GVRD:[list][*]Royal City Centre (once Woolworth's Centre) in New Westminster. After Woolworth's went belly up stores started to leave and it was a while before Zellers moved in to occupy the old Woolworth's location. The design looks very much if not exactly like the London Galleria, so I suspect it was designed, built and owned by the same company. As with the London Galleria, the top level is now devoid of shops and almost entirely occupied with an HSBC call centre.

That would be Woodwards.
Not only did Woodwards' demise, but also Skytrain must have killed all these secondary minor malls. If it ain't Metrotown...get out of town.
