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. Burlington Coat Factory closed in 2000 and Steve & Barry's opened in its space in 2005. In September 2006, Kaufmann's was converted to Macy's. JCPenney moved to Triadelphia, West Virginia, in 2007, [2] and was replaced by Levin Furniture in 2009. In September 2008, it was announced that Steve & Barry's would be closing in November due to bankruptcy.

Crafts 2000 opened in the former Steve & Barry's in 2009. [3] In 2012, the Cafaro Company announced plans to renovate the mall's interior to add a new anchor store. [3] Levin Furniture closed in late 2012 [3] and in February 2013, it was announced that Boscov's would open in its space in October. [4] In July 2015, Crafts 2000 closed and was replaced by Pat Catan's that September. It was announced in January 2017 that Elder-Beerman and Kmart would be closing in March.

In April 2017, the former Elder-Beerman was subdivided and renovated to add Marshalls, which opened that September. It was announced in January 2019 Pat Catan's would be closing in June due to Michaels announcing that it would convert 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 and replaced by 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 since 2019, the former Sears has been 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.
