History

The Ohio Valley Mall opened on October 4, 1978. The mall opened with five anchor stores which were JCPenney, Kaufmann's, L.S. Good, Montgomery Ward, and Sears. In March 1982, L.S. Good closed and Stone & Thomas opened in its space in the summer of that year. Montgomery Ward closed in April 1983 and was replaced by Kmart that November. In 1996, Stone & Thomas moved into a larger location within the mall.

Burlington Coat Factory opened in 1997 in the space which Stone & Thomas occupied prior to moving. In October 1998, Stone & Thomas was converted to Elder-Beerman. Old Navy opened in 1999 in a space adjacent to Sears. In 2000, Burlington Coat Factory closed and Steve & Barry's opened in its space in 2005. Kaufmann's was converted to Macy's in September 2006. In 2007, JCPenney moved to Triadelphia, West Virginia, [2] and was replaced by Levin Furniture in 2009.

It was announced in September 2008 that Steve & Barry's would be closing in November due to bankruptcy. In 2009, Crafts 2000 opened in the former Steve & Barry's. [3] It was announced in September 2009 that Old Navy would be moving to Triadelphia, West Virginia, in November. In 2010, Fun Zone opened in the former Old Navy. The Cafaro Company announced in 2012 plans to renovate the mall's interior to add a new anchor store. [3]

In late 2012, Levin Furniture closed [3] and in February 2013, it was announced that Boscov's would be opening in its space in October. [4] Fun Zone closed in early 2013 and it was announced that it would be replaced by MC Sports, which opened that August. In July 2015, Crafts 2000 closed and Pat Catan's opened in its space that September. It was announced in January 2017 that Elder-Beerman and Kmart would be closing in March. In February 2017, it was announced that MC Sports would be closing in April due to bankruptcy.

The former Elder-Beerman was subdivided and renovated in April 2017 to add Marshalls, which opened that September. Also in 2017, the former MC Sports was used by Spirit Halloween. The former MC Sports was subdivided and renovated in November 2018 to add the Belmont County VA Outpatient Clinic, which opened in March 2019. In January 2019, it was announced that Pat Catan's would be closing in June due to Michaels announcing that it would be converting the store in August. It was announced in March 2019 that half of the former Kmart would be subdivided and renovated to add Dunham's Sports, which opened that October, while the other half of the former Kmart would be demolished and replaced by Hampton Inn & Suites, which opened in April 2021. In April 2019, it was announced that Sears would be closing in July. The former Sears was used by Spirit Halloween on a seasonal basis from 2019 to 2024.

In January 2020, it was announced that Macy's would be closing in March as part of a plan to close 125 stores nationwide. [5] It was announced in February 2020 that Five Below would be opening in the remaining portion of the former Kmart next to Dunham's Sports. In June 2020, Five Below opened. The former Sears was used as a COVID-19 vaccination clinic from February to May 2021. Also in 2021, the former Sears was used by Hickory Farms during the Christmas and holiday season. The former Sears has been in the process of being redeveloped since November 2024 to add three new stores. All three stores will have only outside entrances. None will have direct access to the mall. Due to this, the mall entrance to the former Sears has been walled off and will be used to advertise for the three new stores. In addition to the three new stores, the Belmont County VA Outpatient Clinic will expand into the former Sears for more space.
