Take note Echelon mall!!!

Like seeing a healthy mall. To all the naysayers out there who say malls are finished, they need to see this mall. I agee with the bubble tea. Tapioca needs to stay in your pudding, not in a beverage.

RRR finds an R&R arcade in this nice mall, cool. Donkey Kong Jr. is a favorite.

I am glad it is thriving but I am so used to the dead and dying malls and this place is so hopping!

22:12 Hearing Daylight by Maroon 5 from the speakers really vibes for the Outlet

a lot of good memory's taking or kids to toy stores and Eat launch in 90s .! The kids to day don't Know what they are missing out on.

Bamberger's store, I remember that name. "It's a nice selection of stores and a great atmosphere". Interesting commercial and customer interviews, thanks.

Omg the voice of the announcer.

And they didn't even mention how their Easter Bunny is better than the competing malls'.

Such a shame this mall failed. I can't decide if Shoppingtown or Great Northern Mall was my favorite go-to, but both are long gone now. You can blame incompetent management (for sure), online shopping, and Destiny. But I believe the big box and membership stores like Wal-Mart, Costco, BJ's, etc that took more traffic from the malls than did Amazon.

There are also a few stores behind the mall that are technically part of it. They tried to go for an open air mini town vibe back there. Mostly a few restaurants and a book store.

This Mall used to be packed when I was a kid in 2011,didn’t go again till 2018 when I was 14 it was still thriving a little but I went Sept 2024 and then again yesterday before thanksgiving more and more closed it’s so sad to see once a good mall close.Sears and Lord & Taylor closing did a number on this mall

it’s called “Franklin Mall” now. Managed by JLL. Close enough i guess. But it won’t save the mall sadly. at this point it’s either going to become housing or the sixers arena

WOW just 4 years ago it wasent doing bad now it’s basically abanded

1:22 The Food Place Is Now A Mister 🍕 Pizza

0:04 That Used To Be A Daddy

5:40 The Bon Ton Is Now a casino

This is not from the 1990s

Good job

2024- Mall is now closed permanently after fire

Thanks again for the nice tour of this large mall back then.

I went to this mall yesterday, and this seems like 100 years ago. About 70% of the stores in this video are permanently closed. Theres no working AC. And it's a complete ghost town. I'll be surprised if this mall makes it past 2025.

My home mall 😢

The mall that began my life as a mallrat. I’m sad this place is dying off :(

I miss the mid 2000s Greenbrier when it was green in the inside. I think the brown touch was weird but she’s right. It’s not fully white (cough Simon cough). CBL foreclosed it awhile ago

Christiana Mall's food court had the same dining chairs and tables from 2008 until 2022-ish. (I've taken photos in 2019 and it's definitely the same.) Somewhere around 2021/2022 the Christiana Mall redid the mall food court dining tables and chair, going for a "mess hall" feel. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if the mall sold their old tables and chairs to a different mall who wanted a new look for cheaper.

I was at Greenbrier yesterday. To my surprise, there was a decent number of shoppers!

I love to see the stores shown. Have not been a mall for years and I thought Spencers was out of business. Nice job showing history.

Im looking to move to Va for employment.

Uses natural sunlight like echelon mall

I think there are many out there who need to look up the definition of dying.

@ 03:19 Doomie Grunt!

Nice mall with the orange lights. I wonder if most malls still have the Hallmark Card stores these days. I haven't seen one in awhile.

Used to rent nes games and vhs tapes from Pharmor when i was a kid. Towards the end they had this awesome area where you could buy bags of candy there. Good memories!

How do they get those cars in there I wonder

Christmas ti e in this mall is so fun! Espicaly in hallmark!

every day i miss this mall, the crappy outdoor mall they replaced it with is horrible.

i wasnt alive to see this mall in the 80s, but when i was around 5 or 6 (mid 2010s) i used to visit this mall all the time and one of the only things i remember is that ramp by the sears entrance that goes to the arcade, i remember loving the fall leaf style railing aesthetic and the area with the star and rocket style pillars. this mall is part of my family, my grandmother was in high school when this mall was built and my mom went there in the early 1990s before the renovations, too bad this mall is gone now, i would have shown my future kids this place. RIP Hanover Mall (1971-2020) though i am glad to say the Macy's tenant still stands today so not all of the mall is gone.

I remember walking through there in the 90s it was slammed business booming jam packed packed. It’s a shell of what it used to be. Life has mysterious ways of changing.

I grew up going to PHM...I have not been in years but I am glad it is still around...I remember Coliseum and Newmarket and miss them...thanks for coming

You two must be Democrats with two banks full of money.

I know this mall is very beige, but with all the malls closing these days any mall that is open is a good mall.

The squirrels outside the mall would be hungry for the giant Acorns at 7:02. An interesting warm tone mall, thanks for the tour. I like those ceiling designs. The arcade, I wonder if the bright lights were already in there when they moved in? A DQ ice cream shop, that's good to see.

For 3:15 , the Dick's originally was Hess when the mall first opened. It later became Profitt's in 1995(when Hess sold their store here), then in 1998 Dillard's turned this space into the Dillard's men's store. Yes, Dillard's briefly did a double anchor setup here. In 2004 Dillard's consolidated their operations into the Leggett anchor space, and Dick's opened in this space sometime around 2005 or 2006.

Great video, thank you!

Nice to see a healthy mall for a change. Thanks!

I grew up in Denbigh. My father sold furniture at Sears downtown and moved to Newmarket Malll. I also remember when Colisseum mall was THE mall. Newmarket had that awesome old 70s brown brick interior. Sadly, when Patrick Henry opened it quickly made Colisseum the "junky" mall. Newmarket made an attempt to remodel and add a carousel, but LOCAITON was everything. Patrick Henry, IMHO had a better vibe before. They took out the fountains and the grey 90s tile when they added the fireplace in the food court. I am glad to see it's still thriving as a mall. But, it also couldn't be more bland. I'd love to see you guys show what's left of Waterside!!

The mall of my childhood. I wish people could see what it was like at its peak. Wall to wall customers, the pet store, arcades, movies, an awesome Santa Clause in December complete with a whole castle and animatronic elves, Mrs. Kitty the ballon clown, the giant merry go round in the food court, candy, art, great food, the best damn radio shack ever. It was darker in places back in the day, with more neon lights everywhere. I have so many memories in every corner of this place. I remember all the way back to when the fountains were still working. There was another even bigger fountain display behind the elevator. 8:54 Id insist on throwing coins into them every time. They were huge. The big ones in the center would reach almost up to the floor of the second story. And they were lit up from within so they looked like big glowing columns of water. As I watch this walk through, my brain fills in what’s there now with the memories of what once was. Echos of time that ripple in my mind.

i went to the arcade era at this mall for my birthday last month, there were plenty of people walking through the mall, if they open something big maybe it’ll get attention
