Washington Mall

Washington Mall is an ailing enclosed shopping mall located in South Strabane Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, just outside the city of Washington. It is anchored by JCPenney (relocating to the new Foundry shopping center less than a mile away in 2007), Staples, Toys R Us, JoAnn Fabrics, Rex TV & Appliances, and The Home Depot. The mall was at one time the preeminent place for shopping in Washington. Up until the 1990s it was indeed faring its own. However, as the crosstown rival Franklin Mall (now Washington Crown Center) was expanded and completely remodeled, Washington Mall took quite a hit. With the loss of JCPenney in 2007, as well as plans that have been put on hold to demolish and rebuild the mall as a strip shopping center, the future of this mall is in question.
