Why can't we get a Target!? Target has been very open about their displeasure over their treatment. Their story is: "law enforcement won't help us. They tell us we're on our own to protect ourselves." Look at how much they spend on security in Christown Mall. It's a huge problem for big corporate chains because they're the highest target for theft, drifters hanging around, and the least likely to get any sympathy from the city. No one gives a crap if CVS gets treated like crap. They eat last.
I was in Seattle a few weeks ago. It's beautiful in most of the downtown areas. They've done a nice job of keeping most spaces clean and free of blight. The areas getting crapped on? All the big corporate stores. The poor Ross store was completely crowded out by fentanyl users. It was bizarre that most of the town was safe and clean except any of these BIG CORPORATE BOX STORES.
So don't hold your breath for mid or large corporate stores.

Phoenix does not have those kinds of problems so this is really a nonsense point.
I wonder why we dont have things like a Jimmy Johns, Taco Bell, McDonalds, Etc generic chain type restaurants that cater to travelers and students. People arent worried about Maricopa County and Phoenix PD not prosecuting shoplifting and vandalism like San Francisco.
