Severna Park Mall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Severna Park Mall was an enclosed shopping mall located in Severna Park, Maryland, on Maryland Route 2 (Ritchie Hwy). Since the demolition of the entire structure in 2000, the site has been occupied by a strip mall known as Severna Park Marketplace featuring Giant Foods, Kohl's, Office Depot, A.C. Moore, and several smaller stores.[1]

History

Severna Park Mall opened as a small, local mall in 1975; originally, its anchor stores included Grant City and Giant Foods.[citation needed] The Grant City store was short-lived, with Woolco taking its place after one year; after Woolco's closure in 1982, this space was occupied by Caldor.[citation needed]

However, as with most smaller regional malls, Severna Park started to decline. Caldor closed in September 1989 after failing to reach a lease agreement with the mall's management, re-opened in October 1991, but closed for good when the entire chain liquidated in 1999. After being mainly an empty mall in the 1990s, Severna Park was largely demolished; only the former Caldor building remained, with Kohl's moving into this building shortly afterward. The rest of the mall was replaced with a strip mall known as Severna Park Marketplace, which featured a new Giant supermarket, as well as several big box tenants.[1][2]
