A look inside the malls and retailers that shaped America.
Town Mall of Westminster - Dead but Charming Mall!
Today we visit Town Mall of Westminster in Westminster, MD.
This mall is "out in the country" in Carroll County Maryland, about 30 miles northwest of Baltimore. While approximately 50% of the store fronts are occupied, the stores that were open on this Monday were actually cute.

JC Penney: A Retail History
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.11 месяцев назад
Join me as I explore the history of a JCPenney, a company that is 120 years old and possibly on its last leg? While it came out of its bankruptcy in a much better position, more than 2/3 of its locations are inside shopping malls, and we all know how those are doing. In my personal opinion, their stores are boring and quiet, which does not make for a fun experience. However, if you're looking f...

Volusia Mall Tour - Daytona Beach - Remaining Sears Façade and 4 Dillard's
Originally, Sears was just a stand-alone building and then they built the mall. Previously, it was just woods. We wold drive by it on the way to the Science Center just about every Saturday morning.
I remember seeing Guardians 3 there on a Tuesday right after it came out. And I guess it closed shortly after At that point the theater was probably about 70% abandoned
Ironically, Kohl's is the only company that has a completely original passenger elevator at Coral Square, as three of its mall-based rivals modernized theirs in 2013, 2019 and 2023. m.ruclips.net/video/1S8yFGSRRAI/видео.html
I live 3 miles south of there, used to work at the GNC back in 2010. Haven't been in that mall in around 10 years lol. Such a busy area though, I think it's safe for at least the next 10 years in an era where malls are dying left and right.
My first credit card was a Macys card. I was asked if I wanted to apply when I bought a coat I wanted (Cielo Vista Mall El Paso) I still have my Macy's card.
Westshore Plaza's days are numbered. It's a ghost town these days.
The mall has gone downhill.
I moved to st.pete from new port richey in 1986. I went up to tyrone mall, it was a very busy place. Still looks that way, very clean and lots of stores.
It’s a dump
😢
Orlando is a liberal shit hole . Black on black crime is every where in that city .
I see no issues with ceiling tiles
The AMC is accessible from the outside.If you're on Westshore enter the parking lot closest to The Waffle House. You'll see a parking garage attached to the mall. Go to the third level of it and they have their own entrance.
I already did😎😎😎😎
There is one simple answer! Eddie Lampert happened to Sears! PERIOD!
Nice mall but you sound like you're half asleep. No enthusiasm to keep our interest.
Thanks for watching.
@@malltours No offense. Just thought you'd want to know as I would. Maybe you put in a 12 hour shift for your regular job before doing this when other's had gone to bed?
Used to hang out at this mall alot during the late 2000s when i attended the job corps center out there.
The empty store you looked in was originally a KB Toys. By your pronunciation I can tell that you were most likely not a local. No offense intended
You're correct! I spent my first 23 years in Wisconsin.
@@malltours I lived in sturgeon Bay for a little over a month when I was a kid. Sturgeon Bay had a terrible mall but I remember Green Bay having a pretty nice one
Still love this mall. My teen years spent here in the 90s. My childhood in the 80s! We even had to trick or treat in the mall one year (86??) due to an encephalitis scare. I hope they revive this spot. ❤
I haven't been to a mall in FL for a very long time. Back in the 80s I used to go to Gulf View Square, Countryside, or another one whose name escapes me. I never heard of Tyrone Square. Now that I live in the Tampa area again I'll give it a look. Thanks for the video!
You are better off shopping at Macy’s or JCPenney at the Florida Mall. Both are nicer stores than Sears.
Are you from Florida?
Wisconsin!
Years ago I would sometimes go into the food court for lunch break and it was fairly empty then. I haven't been inside since 2018? There's so many food and retail options in the immediate area, that I don't see much of a point to the mall anymore.
I worked at Tyrone square mall in the mid 80’s for Butler shoes and Red Cross shoes. It’s nice to see that it’s still going when so many malls have closed down.
Yeah it’s funny that the Florida Mall and the Altamonte Springs Mall seem to be doing quite well, but the Fashion Square Mall is doing badly???
Haven't been to this mall in over 20 years. Reason is because all Mall's in Florida are way overpriced items.
Don’t call it a dump it’s … nostalgia 😭
In the 90’s I worked at the Woolworths until it closed in 1994.
That's pretty cool, what was it like?
@@mhmtakeyatime9000 It was actually really cool. The people I worked with were awesome. It was a shame it closed. But that’s what happens. I was at the mall today, it was dead.
@@1524mike That's a shame. I still go to this mall on occasion. Despite it no longer having the traction like it used to, it's still nice to explore.
❤
1 word... Tilt . If you know you know OG's
Right down the street from the Tyrone square mall, is the Chad square mall !!! Little girls grow up and become big girls, and these big girls love both Tyrone and Chad !!!!
Wonderful Video!!!!! I Love the Fountains!!!! F+L, Corey
My cousins lived there when I was a kid. So we used to go to the movies here a bunch. I think the last time I went to that mall was to see return of the king on Christmas like what 20 years ago?.. it’s not too far from me though. Crazy to me though that our mall in Frederick is still pretty busy. Frederick does have like 4+ times the amount of population as Westminster, so that’s probably why. I had to come back and edit this after seeing the little ramp area where KB toys was, and a comic book store. Just made me remember being obsessed with x men. Carroll county is wild though. Not somewhere that I choose to go when not working. Weird religious and political merch in a sports store is on brand for that county. Sticks out as the most odd county that doesn’t seem to belong in central Maryland.
I go to Merritt Square all the time cause Spencer's is in the mall but lot more stores have closed it shocking
I was wondering how this mall doing it sad to say Merritt sqare mall in Merritt Island is not doing so well
Fashion Square was always "my" mall. I moved to Orlando in 1997 and quickly got a job working at a video store called Saturday Matinee upstairs where the movie theater now is. In 2004, when hurricane Charley hit, the mall was our savior, offering an air conditioned space to retreat to during the 2 weeks we spent without electricity in the brutal Floridian August heat. I remember when the bowling alley/ arcade was added. It was fun for awhile. To be honest, I will be sad to see this mall finally close, as it has played a significant role throughout my adult life. My daughter has a number of photos with Santa, who used to be stationed on the small platform directly across from the escalator. I will always remember this mall as the bustling and busy place that it once was. It's hard to let it go. P.S. The Premiere cinemas movies theater still has the best popcorn in Orlando, and is also the most reasonably priced theater around.
Old comment but this was a fun video. Some things you wouldn't know unless you lived in the area for a long time but there actually used to be 3 different puppy stores in that mall at separate times. They would never last more than a few years but they were all in separate locations within the mall. There used to also be 2 sperate gamestops both open at the same time in the mall, one next to the rue 22, the other at the side where amc (that one stayed longer). There used to be a Chic-fil-a and Starbucks, in the food court there was a large merry-go-round (the ones you see at fairs). At the center of the mall was the kids area but that was moved as seen in the video. Outside the food court there was a large fountain. Sadly many of the newer smaller stores dont last for more than a few months but they typically are small electronic or game merch stores or strange entertainment gaming/arcade spaces. During holidays they still do Easter events or meet Santa events.
Babbage's used to be next to the Dillards on the first floor. Fun times from over 30 years ago.
The "e" in "Altamonte" is silent. Otherwise an excellent presentation.
i lived in orlando from 96-2002 this was down the street from me, it was dead back then.
used to like the chinese place there (and sarku before it closed). Wasn't anything special but the workers and owner always had a smile on their face. made me feel better about my day
This store is definitely not a dump anymore! The store has completely restocked with new merchandise that’s great! Bought tons there yesterday!
This used to be THE mall to go to in Orlando. It’s been dying a slow death for 15-20 years. The only thing keeping it open is the movie theater, and it’s not doing that well, either.
Except the greasy disgusting popcorn smell permeates the entire mall. I like popcorn, but the stench from the popcorn kiosk in the middle is nauseating.
Didn't know there were any left.
It looks like The Walking Dead scene
Part of the reason malls are dying is the reason other nice things are dying. A certain group ruins everything. and no where is safe any longer sadly.
The problem with the Indian River Mall and the Merritt Square Mall is that they are both owned by two of the worst mall management companies Kohan and Namdar respectively.
It cracks me up how you pronounce "Altamonte".
😅🥲
When Sears sold it's credit card business in 2003 that was the beginning of the end for them. That was 60 percent of it's profit. The merger with Kame Apart in 2005 was another bad move. Kmart was a failure. After merging Kmart's bad management took control of them. Then they made even more bad decisions. I stopped buying from them in 2015 after they were not honoring their refrigerator warranty. By 2019 they were bankrupt.
