Washington Mall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Washington Mall is an ailing enclosed shopping mall located in South Strabane Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, just outside the city of Washington. Its anchor, JCPenney, closed in February 2007 and relocated to the new Foundry shopping center less than a mile away in March 2007. Large remaining tenants include Staples, Toys R Us, JoAnn Fabrics, and The Home Depot. However, only JoAnn and Eckerd actually have entrances from inside the mall. 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, 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.
