Huntington Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in the village of Barboursville in Cabell County in the U.S. state of West Virginia. The largest mall in West Virginia, it opened in 1981 and features more than 150 retailers. Anchor stores include Elder-Beerman, JCPenney, Macy's, Sears, Dick's Sporting Goods, and Cinemark Theatres with other major tenants including Books-A-Million, and Old Navy. The mall is owned by Cafaro Company of Youngstown, Ohio. ==History== Huntington Mall opened in 1981, on a site several miles east of Huntington, just off Interstate 64. At the time, it included JCPenney, Lazarus, Stone & Thomas, and Sears as its anchor stores. When the mall's Foot Locker store opened, tennis player Bobby Riggs made an appearance at the mall, challenging mall employees to a game of tennis. Phar-Mor, a discount pharmacy chain, was later added to the mall as its fifth anchor in 1990. Stone & Thomas was converted to Elder-Beerman in 1998 when the chain was acquired. A year later, Borders Books & Music opened its first West Virginia store at the mall. Old Navy, Steve & Barry's and local chain Dawahares were later added to the mall as well. After Phar-Mor closed in 2002, it became the second Dick's Sporting Goods in the state.〔 In mid-2008, it was announced that Cinemark would open a new movie theater at the mall, replacing the vacated six-screen complex and an adjacent cafeteria. This new theater opened in early 2009. Later in 2008, Steve & Barry's closed, along with all of the other Steve & Barry's stores in West Virginia. Borders Books closed in 2011, due to the company's bankruptcy. Books-A-Million later replaced it. Parent company The Bon-Ton announced that it would close the Elder-Beerman in the mall on January 31, 2016. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Huntington Mall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
