Hello Nate! I've been to this mall a ton of times so I know almost everything that has been in it before. The big store by University Hospitals was in fact an Anchor store and was Steve & Barry's before they went bankrupt in 2009. They were actually only open for a about a year. The current University Hospitals was Sear's and the store next to it was in fact a pet store. The bigger store next to the Entertainment Zone and across from Big Dog Bounce was Payless ShoeSource. Where the Entertainment Zone is currently used to be Dillard's. There also used to be another smaller Dillard's across from the JCPenny where the re-store is now. In the center where the empty stores are next to the big skylight were jewelry stores. In the food court, the unnamed restaurant near the fountain and arcade was Ruby Tuesday's and Grind Towne used to be Wendy's. Also, the Curiosity Shoppe used to be Old Navy. Those were most of the former notable stores that used to be in the mall, but many other popular store names used to exist.

Very cool to see an open Radio Shack! GNC last thing to close....so true

A red Ames shopping cart and an open Radio Shack; that is awesome. I like that mall, great video Nate.

GNC, Bath and Body Works, and Radio Shack. The dead mall trifecta lives at Ashtabula Town Square, lol.

Ever notice that the few remaining opened Radio Shacks are almost always in Dead(ish) Malls?

That is a really cool mall. I didn't know Radio shack was still open anywhere. I wish this mall was near me. I'd go there for sure. I loved the video and thanks you. You, Richard and Kara are awesome.

wooow a Radio Shack that is open??? damn.... thought they all closed!!! that's some very fresh popcorn at the AMC lol

I live in Ashtabula and it’s sad when I was younger that mall was full of life and now it’s just a handful of stores it’s sad to see

Sees Ames Cart WallieB26 Has Entered The Chat

Nice to see an open Radio Shack

Strange there is an Habitat ReStore in an mall. Those are one of my favorite type of thrift stores and like checking for older new old stock lighting and electrical at those.

There used to be a Vintage Radio Shack in my mall that probably closed sometime in 2015. It’s now a clothing store

Hey Nate, when you first go into a mall, take a picture of the map of the mall. It might still have the names of the stores that have closed.

1:58 - "Super Kmart Deli" on the food list. 11:38 - That is a old Foot Locker with the old style scoreboard right above the registers.

I thought radio shack was gone for good

That is amazing there still a Radio Shack in business still. All ours in Lubbock had closed some time ago, so far this one you have is a survivor.

The liquidation store is for bying pallets to resell from places like Amazon or Target.

That huge space make me think of old school forever 21. But I doubt it

the huge store that was abandoned was an old navy.

That Ames cart is awesome. Should trade for it

Should the first KMART be a museum

Nate, what a totally awesome and cool mall! Loved it! Love Richard and Kara too!

If you like dead malls you should come to the Courtland Mall in Burton Michigan Nate. Have a great day i like watching your vids.

Haha someone got a notification on his phone lol

I've been to this mall plenty of times as a kid, and it was once a really nice place back then. It's too bad that nobody really goes there anymore, but I still like to go there to see movies. As for the arcade, it was once known as Aladdin's Castle, and it did once have lots of fun arcade games as well as a desk with prizes you can win with tickets. Hell, there was a time where you could win prizes with tickets again at that arcade back in 2017, but that went away again sadly.

That huge space used to be old Navy

That makes sense the counter would be under the neon signs in the arcade. I'll bet your right about that.

Looks like the arcade has about 90% redemption (crane) games.

I like that old version or design style of Bath & Body Works as seen here. Here in Lubbock Bath & Body Works remodeled their store in recent years.

I'd love to make videos with all of you guys! I live in Brunswick Ohio, I'd love to film dead malls and other abandoned retail.

Man I miss finish line and champs. Before Steve and Barry's there was a pharmacy there. Pet store across from it. Walden books, Spencer's. I remember the big toy store where Dunhams is now... Damn that mall use to boom

Wow an open radioshack? I love that open skylight/ceiling on 6:39, so cool! I've never seen a real-life Smack The Alien arcade game before. So cool! 😃

Your dead mall vids are great!

That Mall isnt as dead as it used to be. Yea its not as busy as it was 10 years ago but its gained more traction sense the last 2 years. Some new food places opened up. Its mostly mom and pop shops. Radio Shack has some cool old stuff. They do open a holloween store during holloween. I thought they kept old stuff in the Kmart area but i was wrong its in another area. The one shop has old cool stuff in it like old movie posters i found clerks in there planning on getting it for my room. They used to bring in the bounce place in the wide open area. Im planning on doing a video there interviewing the people who have been there for a long time. Most of the shops that have sines next to them like Buy Sell and Trade are just branding the store but I do think the radio shack might of moved. I kinda wish I was born earlier so I could see more of this stuff before it all shut down. Im happy to see it has some more buisness when it used to. They use the old closed shops for storage from what I remember. The Shoe Dept is were I used to get my vans from when I was little. Maybe you should do an interview of people who remember the mall because thats what im thinking about doing. Well talk later ive been writeing this comment and watching the video.

Wow. This is one I've never been to road trip for me. Omg that moment about the Ames cart was hilarious I busted out laughing.

Malls are like the popular kids in school ounce all the cool kids are gone the click dries up and everything dries up

We have the same sort of thing in our mall, University Medical Center Clinic which for me too was a first to see in a mall.

Funny how is is that there playing 80s music in the background 😂

RadioShack is alive under new ownership for the last number of years. They are franchising all locations now with no corporately owned stores. It’s still a shadow of its former self.

Wow! An open Radio Shack. Amazing!

i thought RadioShack went out of business?

Love the old school arcades. I Really don't like the new style where everything is just luck based games that cost $1 and last 10 seconds

9:22 this was GameStop at one time

I love this mall

Where's the Vitamin World or the Spencer Gifts?

That restaurant in the food court by the entrance is el puente but before that it was a ruby Tuesday it closed a long time ago I miss that restaurant a lot

Super K Mart has been closed at this mall for a couple of years

New subscriber and dead mall lover!

I want to go to this mall and buy stuff from each of these stores!!!

The GNC store, that you film, I think looks like an old Spencer’s.

Not an old mall like Midway in Elyria but one that should've never been built for such a small economically deficient area.While your up there hope you guys went to"The Spillway"south of there to film ducks🦆walking on all those fish vying for dollar store bread people are always tossing in spillway always an interesting spot.👀

Kmart always gave me a sad feeling way early on for some reason even before the original roses demise into a dollar store type enviroment

That is a cool old mall

I hope someday you come to Hickory Point Mall in Forsyth Illinois. If you do, I will watch your video.

Do a video on the Sugarloaf Miils mall in Duluth, GA. The mall is so huge check it in google maps.

I've heard dunahms makes a fortune from kayak sales

I wonder how much that sealed vhs copy of Jurassic Park goes for on eBay?

That was a super kmart center on a hall located where ?

Go to Tanglewood Mall Virginia Roanoke

Hi I think that Dunhams sports had to possibly be Ames department store or Hills at one point in its lifetime. That’s probably where the car came from as to why they have in Ames cart in that mall. They may have kept all those years in the back corners of them all and then are preserving in that store front. That is amazing though how you say cards like that I don’t have a single Ames anything in my area anymore the only thing that was left of Ames in my area Syracuse New York is over in Cicero New York at driver’s Village the building that was taken over by driver’s Village still has the original label for Ames department store round oval shape for Ames on the building but it officially says driver‘s Village on it

Great video Nate! What will we all do if Amazon was to go under?

waly will like the cart

The Hospital place I went to for my ear when I got assaulted

I really love the music slash, movies store. There extinct at the malls

my favorite is sear

they call that an arcade? When I was a teen in the 80s, yeah, there were a few stuffed animal games and Skee Ball, but the majority of the machines were VIDEO GAMES, such as Galaga, Pac-Man, Tempest, Donkey Kong, etc. That Speed Racer game would have been cool to play if it were in good condition.

Why are some Ames carts red and some teal?

Maybe the RadioShack moved

I expected a radio shack sign but its actually open! Rent must be so low here.

It is koy fish

Was JC Penney the only Anker store in the Mall
