History
Ashtabula Towne Square opened in 1992 as Ashtabula Mall. The mall featured Dillard's, JCPenney, Super Kmart, Phar-Mor, Carlisle's, and Sears as anchor stores. The Kmart and Phar-Mor stores were both protoytpes, with the latter also being that chain's 300th store. While Sears and Phar-Mor opened in August of that year, the mall itself did not open until the fall. Carlisle's closed in 1994 with the chain's demise and was later converted to a Dillard's Home Store.
Phar-Mor closed in the mid-late 1990s. Steve & Barry's replaced Phar-Mor in 2005. Also, Dillard's closed the Home Store to focus on fashion apparel but ended up also closing its main location in 2007. Family Toy Warehouse also closed its doors in 2002 after the company filed for chapter 11 reorganization.
The mall was purchased by Cabot Investment Properties in 2008 and renamed Ashtabula Towne Square. Since the mall's renaming, several more stores have closed, including Old Navy, Spencer's Gifts, Claire's, and Yum Yum Tree (a card, gift and candy shop). Ruby Tuesday also closed its Ashtabula Mall location in March 2008, followed by Steve & Barry's in October. Finish Line, Inc., King's Jewelers and Zales have also closed since early 2009, and Waldenbooks closed in early 2010. The mall was foreclosed on in 2011. Sears closed in 2012, and Kmart closed in 2016, which makes JCPenney the last anchor to be occupied.
