One of the big selling points for bringing Evolve into downtown Carbondale was the number of students/residents it would bring into the area and with them an increased level of consumption. Unfortunately, this has not happened. The strip of shops just north of Evolve and above Trax is completely empty and University Plaza sits half empty. Save for Insomnia Cookies, the retail space on the ground floor of the Evolve complex has never had a tenant.
