Mountaineer Mall

|
The Mountaineer Mall opened in 1975 in Morgantown, WV, home of West Virginia University. It was only the 2nd mall to open in North-Central West Virginia and despite its compact size, was a big success. When it first opened the mall was anchored by Murphy's Mart, JCPenny, and Montgomery Ward; plus other stores like Kinney Shoes, GNC, and other typical retail stores. In 1987, the mall added a new addition which included a new anchor, Stone and Thomas. In 1994, Wal-Mart opened in place of Ames(Former Murphy's Mart) and eventually Montgomery Ward closed and Stone and Thomas became Elder Beerman. JCPenny moved to the newer Morgantown Mall and was replaced by The U.S. Factory Outlet and currently Gabriel Brothers. Today the mall is only anchored by Gabes and Elder Beerman and is losing much interest but there have been rumors that there may be revitalization happening and some saying the mall will become office space.
