Ashtabula Mall opened in 1992, featuring Dillard's, JCPenney, Kmart, Phar-Mor, Carlisle's and Sears as anchor stores. Kmart's location in the mall was a prototype store for the chain; Phar-Mor's location was not only a prototype, but also the chain's 300th location.[2] While Sears and Phar-Mor opened in August of that year, the mall itself did not open until the fall.[3] Carlisle's closed in 1994 with the chain's demise[4] and was later converted to a Dillard's Home Store.

Kmart expanded to a Supercenter in the mid-late 1990s, around the same time that Phar-Mor closed; Steve & Barry's replaced Phar-Mor in 2005. Also, Dillard's closed the Home Store to focus on fashion apparel. Famous Labels has since opened in the former Dillard's Home Store; in addition, Dunham's Sports has opened.

Ruby Tuesday also closed its Ashtabula Mall location in March of 2008.[5]
