Being First Feels Good — But Purpose Feels Better
We’re proud to share that Crocker Park has been named the #1 shopping center experience in America by Chain Store Age Magazine, surpassing legendary destinations like Mall of America and American Dream. It’s an incredible honor and a moment of celebration for our entire team.
But as PGA Tour champion Scottie Scheffler wisely said, “Victory is a very temporary good feeling.” That quote resonates deeply with us. Recognition is rewarding—but it’s fleeting. What truly endures is purpose.
At Stark Enterprises, purpose has always been our north star. Crocker Park’s journey spans more than a decade of transformation, innovation, and relentless dedication to creating a one-of-a-kind experience. This award is not just a milestone—it’s a reflection of the long game: the belief in what Crocker Park could become and the commitment to making it happen.
We’re filled with gratitude for:
- The creative, passionate team that brings Crocker Park to life every day
- Our partners, tenants, and community members who challenge us to grow and evolve
- And most of all, the visionary leadership of my father, whose dream laid the foundation for what Crocker Park is today
We’re proud. We’re humbled. But we’re not done.
We will continue investing in Crocker Park—introducing new ideas, experiences, and innovations to ensure it remains relevant and thriving for decades to come.
Purpose continues. The process continues.
Thank you to Chain Store Age Magazine for the recognition. And thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey.
