Morgantown Mall - Morgantown West Virginia | ERA_Productions

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Morgantown Mall in Morgantown West Virginia! This mall opened in 1990, and immediately took traffic away from the older Mountaineer Mall. This mall would have major success at the start, I would see many shops choose to operate here. At it’s peak, anchors would consist of JCPenney, Belk, Elder Beerman, and Sears. Buy the 2010s, struggles with start appearing for Morgantown Mall, as Belk would close in 2017, Elder Beerman we close in 2018, and seriously close in 2019. This would not be a good sign for the mall, however, good things were to come for the mall! Dunham's Sports would open up in the former Elder Beerman space in November 2019, the seers would get filled in by a West Virginia, University medicine center, and the Belk space will get filled in by Ollies, Bealls, and home centric store in 2021. Today, Morgantown mall operates is the most successful indoor mall in the Morgantown region. Let’s take a walk through this mall and see how it’s doing!

What are your thoughts on Morgantown Mall, and what do you think it's future holds?

[@Optopolis]

Aesthetics look like a mashup between modern-Frontier Mall and Fort Collins' Foothills Fashion before they rebuilt it... plus a couple other malls I've seen vids of out east of me.

[@screamtheoryentertainment1526]

It is an underrated mall for sure. Digging the sky lights

[@jsj8103]

Living in Morgantown, I appreciate the video and the positive light of the mall and it’s doing well, all considered.
Candidly, it’s facing serious competition from meadowbrook mall about 30 miles south whose occupancy is nearly 100% with a mix of local and national retailers being added and/or remodeled. Look forward to a video from there, too!

Nice Mall. Hopefully it will be able to keep it's chain stores. Looks like a good selection of stores.

Amazing video Andrew! This mall has some incredible 90s charm.

[@ERA_Productions]

Thank You! It really does!

[@Retail_Adventures_With_Alex]

Great video I really do like this mall a lot

[@ERA_Productions]

Glad you enjoyed! It’s a really nice mall!

On the road again ~ just can't wait to get on the road again🎶
Ah man, I miss Sbarro. Used to have them in my mall :( Was decent pizza at one time, especially for mall pizza.

[@ERA_Productions]

I haven’t had Sbarro since I was a kid, but we still have one at SouthPark, and Great Northern is getting one soon replacing their old pizza place.

[@Optopolis]

@@ERA_ProductionsThat's a little surprising to hear they are opening a new location, but I guess good to hear they aren't dying off. I think the last time I saw an open Sbarro with my own eyes was in the DC area back in 2018.

[@HawaiiElevatorChannel]

Sounds like the same thing going on at many malls across America. The anchor stores pull out then the theater then later the food court would start emptying out.

[@ERA_Productions]

Yeah, it feels like that’s what’s happening everywhere. I’m glad to see this mall managed to look past it though, and still live on!

[@SuperBuickregal]

Great job on this mall and looking forward to the Mountaineer video!

[@ERA_Productions]

Thank you! Hope to have it out shortly!

After spending a good sized chunk of my life from the 80s to relatively recently working in or around more malls and stores than I care to name, I've always found that the one store that best describes the overall health of any mall is Spencer Gifts. This is in no way an exact science, nor can I back it up with numbers or facts. Just observation mixed with experience.
