<blockquote>IRVINE ? Cars filled the lot, groups ate in the shade and others sipped from Starbucks cups at Quail Hill Village Center on a recent lunch hour. Behind store windows, though, some merchants said their days might be numbered.
Three out of 37 shops have closed in the past year, several leases are nearing an end, and owners are changing the way they do business at Quail Hill. Sluggish sales, hard-to-get credit and other factors have depressed retail markets elsewhere in the world. At this upscale Irvine Co. marketplace, the bad economy is just beginning to make a dent.
The neighboring village, also called Quail Hill, has seen relatively few bank repossessions, but a wave may be on the way. Seven homes out of 1,646 are in foreclosure, fourteen have defaulted and seven others are up for auction, according to foreclosureradar.com.</blockquote>
