  • Quick video of this mall located in Media, Pennsylvania. It's around 6pm on a Tuesday evening and as can be seen on this video, it's somewhat surprising for there are not much people walking around which prevents this mall from being alive.

    I used to go to this mall all the time when I was a kid in the 80's, and loved it so much there. I went there within the past few years and now it's all run down, and most of the stores are closed. What a shame. . .it was such a nice mall! So many good memories there.

    I went there in late March 2015 and they're very close to the end now. Chick Fil-A is still open but Subway closed. I thought it would have gone the other way around. JCP was in its final days as well. Interestingly, only music from the 90s and earlier plays over the speakers. It's almost as if the mall itself is pining for its old glory days.

      90s music is the best 😆. I visited this mall on 4/25/15. Chick-fil-a & JcPenny are close now. There is only 10 stores left

    I remember when I moved to the area near it in 2006, it was still alive. My sister went to see the Jonas brother there when they came which I think was in 2005

    I miss you stores. Where did you go? Please come back to save this mall of my childhood.
    During the week I think all malls people hardly go to malls. You should try weekends to see a crowded mall but not at this mall now because there is only 10 stores left. It gonna be destroy soon

    I grew up in the mall. During the '70s/80s I lived across the street. Even this old video it doesn't look the way I remember it. This was after the remodel. I will share in my Granite Run mallrats Facebook group.

    I used to shop there back in the 80s and 90s when I lived in that area. I can't believe that it's gone now. 😢

    I was just there and alot more stores are gone now. The hot topic died off awhile ago and the fyi music store died off last year.

      There may be a reason for that. The mall will be demolished this year and will be replaced with an outside style shopping center with upper tier stores, two condos, and a bigger better movie theatre. BTW Sears and Boscovs will survive but JC Penney will close this spring and that is where the new movie theatre will be built. Thanks for the memories Granite Run Mall (1974-2015).

      sean vogt i worked there until yesterday which was my last day since my store was closing. I recently went back in there to get a few things from spencers and a couple more stores closed. Its depressing seeing what once was the hangout and the place to be when you was younger will now be nothing but a memory.

      91myroc Same here. I missed going there in the 1980s with "Games and Gadgets" and "Aladdin's Castle". Nothing else mattered but hey I was a kid/teenager. Malls like GRM are becoming endangered species thanks primarily to the internet, online shopping, and iTunes. They're mainly responsible for a lot of mall demises. Actually the mall will be much better with upper-tier stores, a bigger movie theatre, and two condos. So as one institution comes down another one will come up. Let's see what happens.

      sean vogt i don't like the Village at Granite Run idea at all. to be honest not too many in the area will be able to afford $1,600 a month they should just update the mall.

    99% of what you see here is now closed.

    @dc1313drc I hear you. This is what the changing demographics can do to any establishment. As people relocate to other areas like Chester and Montgomery counties, malls like this are simply left out to die. Really sad to see, and unless there's a rebirth of commerce around the area, this will be a big block of eyesore in the very near future.

    Really? Well that's truly sad. This mall was one of the biggest in the Delaware Valley region for the past 10 to 15 years. Guess it can be blamed to the changing demographics.

      @@StarCitizenSpeakeasy I moved outta DelCo in the early 80's. I would visit every 5 or so yrs. In the early 2000's I was picking up some Flyers gear at a Sports apparel shop on the lower level and talkin with a black chick who was workin the register. She said that it was referred to as "Grab-n-run" mall in Chester. Funny but not funny.

    NOt true, Jeff59rt. 99%? No way.
    ...it's more like 85%.
