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, due to the corporation's bankruptcy.
Borders Books closed in 2011, due to the company's bankruptcy. Books-A-Million later replaced it. Parent company The Bon-Ton closed the Elder-Beerman in the mall on January 31, 2016., and the space is being renovated for HomeGoods and TJ Maxx.
Impact
Huntington Mall is the largest mall in the state of West Virginia. When the mall was built, the only other businesses around it were two bars and an Exxon gas station. Since the mall's opening, several retailers have built around the mall, including four motels and several restaurants, as well as a Walmart Supercenter, the first Best Buy in West Virginia, and the first Sheetz gas station/convenience store in southern West Virginia. Huntington Mall has also averaged $375 million in retail trade, significantly increasing the Village of Barboursville's budgets.
