You can mitigate around the issue with 24/7 airport operations with significant sound isolation on the interior but you will need to well exceed minimum code to pull that off and of course come in at a much higher costing. I remember sitting in the old Winnipeg Stadium and watching the planes as they were on their approaches.
As for Cheesecake Factor it isn't always in malls proper. In Honolua they are street fronting in one of the hotels. Granted it is a busy area in its own right. The other Cheesecake Factor I have a good recollection of was physically in a mall building but had no interior mall accessing as it fronted onto the parking lot.
Also from this
old financial info Cheesecake Factory themselves talks about being willing to locate in places outside traditional enclosed shopping malls.
If CF can lineup the right group of companies willing to put the cash into it I think they could developer the Winnipeg Stadium site into an upscale activity mall including Cheesecake Factory, Rec Room and perhaps Dave & Busters, Lucky Strike Lanes and similar type of places but none that directly compete with each other obviously. It would give the site a purpose and be different than what Winnipeg has now without needing to add a lot more traditional retail.
