DEAD MALL - Mountaineer Mall - Morgantown West Virginia | ERA_Productions

Hello everyone, Welcome to the Mountaineer Mall in Morgantown West Virginia. Opening in 1975, Mountaineer Mall would finally bring modern shopping to Morgantown West Virginia, and would be a major success! With anchors, such as JCPenney, Murphy’s Mart, and Montgomery Ward, Mountaineer Mall would the prime destination with several small shops through its halls. It would be doing so well, that it would get expanded in 1987, adding a Stone & Thomas anchor store, and a new wing. However, 1990 saw the opening of Morgantown Mall just 5 miles away, and it would really damage Mountaineer Mall. JCPenney would abandoned Mountaineer Mall for the new mall, and other anchors would also leave around this time. However, Walmart would come to Mountaineer Mall in 1994, and start a new era to make mountaineer mall more of a discount mall. However, that was short-lived, as would Walmart close in the mid 2000s, and mountaineer mall would basically be a ghost town. By 2008 Elder Bierman, the final anchor store would close. This would leave a very uncertain future on the property, until many of the spaces we get converted into office space, or used in many new uses. The mall would now be operated more as a business center, with many community services inside. Let’s take a walk through Mountaineer Mall and appreciate it 70s architecture!
