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 1980, Cinemette Theatres opened. L.S. Good closed in March 1982 and Stone & Thomas opened in its space in the summer of that year. In April 1983, Montgomery Ward closed and was replaced by Kmart that November.

Cinemette Theatres was converted to Cinema World in 1987. In 1994, Cinema World was converted to Carmike Cinemas. Stone & Thomas moved in 1996 into a larger location within the mall. In 1997, Burlington Coat Factory opened in the space which Stone & Thomas occupied prior to moving. Stone & Thomas was converted to Elder-Beerman in 1998. 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] 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] Crafts 2000 closed in July 2015 and was replaced by Pat Catan's that September. In January 2017, it was announced that Elder-Beerman and Kmart would be closing in March. Carmike Cinemas was converted to AMC Theatres in March 2017.

Also in March 2017, it was announced that the former Elder-Beerman would be subdivided and renovated to add Marshalls, which opened that September. It was announced in January 2019 that Pat Catan's would be closing in June due to Michaels announcing that it would be converting the store in August.

In March 2019, it was announced 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 to add Hampton Inn & Suites, which opened in April 2021. It was announced in April 2019 that Sears would be closing in July. On a seasonal basis from 2019 to 2024, the former Sears was used by Spirit Halloween.

It was announced in January 2020 that Macy's would be closing in March as part of a plan to close 125 stores nationwide. [5] In February 2020, it was announced that Five Below would be opening in the remaining portion of the former Kmart next to Dunham's Sports. Five Below opened in June 2020. From February to May 2021, the former Sears was used as a COVID-19 vaccination clinic.

The former Sears was also used by Hickory Farms during the Christmas and holiday season in 2021. In September 2024, it was announced that AMC Theatres would be closing that month. It was announced in April 2025 that Golden Ticket Cinemas would be opening in the former AMC Theatres. [6]

In September 2025, it was announced that the former Sears would be subdivided and renovated to add Academy Sports + Outdoors and Burlington. It was also announced that the former Macy's would be subdivided and renovated to add Boot Barn. Golden Ticket Cinemas opened in November 2025. Academy Sports + Outdoors, Boot Barn, and Burlington will open sometime in 2026. [7]
