Abandoned US Malls

The Rolling Acres Mall opened in 1975 and expanded several times throughout its history. At one point, it had more than 140 stores. On Dec. 31, 2013, the mall’s last retail store closed, and it currently remains abandoned. Photo credit: Johnny Joo Photography

The Woodville mall, like other Ohio malls, experienced an economic decline in the ’90s. The mall was opened in 1969 and by the early 2000s most stores had left. In 2014, it was demolished. LINK

Randall Park Mall opened in 1976 and closed in 2009. In 1995, there were 120 stores that employed 5,000 people. The mall began its decline in the early 2000s when J.C. Penney and Dillard’s left. By 2008, the mall was basically empty. The mall is currently being demolished and will be gone any day now. Photo credit: Johnny Joo Photography

  1. Waiting to be sent to GWI, so 1990, Colorado Springs, we went to a movie at a mall empty but for the theater. Fountains running, Christmas lights and decorations on, not so much as a taco stand otherwise. So weird.
