Abandoned Richmond Town Mall in Ohio

[@DelCity.]

I went to this mall as a kid, tugs on my emotions to see it like that. Also the geese were always agresive there so at least thats the same.

[@ignition4846]

Never had a Higbee's at Richmond Mall. The area Higbee's were at Severance, Euclid Square, Randall Park, and Beachwood Place.

[@kendonl.taylor5111]

Years ago, Richmond Mall had Sears, Kay-Bee, Radio Shack, and an Arcade Room. I miss those days.

[@MultiCreditKIng]

RadioShack gave me free stuff when it was closing.

[@robertmailhos8159]

Canadian geese 🦆. doing the security guard work lol 🤣

[@abandonedcentral]

The amount of security they had was not needed 😂

[@dallen3390]

Back in the day it had the following: Woolworth, Camelot, Baskin Robbins, Diamonds cafe, sears, jc Penney, the magic shop upstairs (it had a second level in the center concourse), Kay Bee toys, Burrows books, Teddy's restaurant, a couple banks, 2 SCREEN movie theater, video game arcade, radio shack, hallmark cards, Cafe parisienne, JC Penney restaurant and hair salon, casual corner, corky and Lenny's, to name a few! there was a huge fountain in the center of the mall where that big skylight is, all the floors were white terrazzo and the ceiling wasn't rounded like it is now, it was very tall to accommodate the second floor and once a year they would have an indoor carnival (this was back in the 70s) Complete with rides and concessions and games. I grew up there in the 70s and 80s, it was cool.

[@tanyastiver9428]

I am sorry that I am posting this 4 months later, but it is the first time that I have watched this video. It sounded like it was an amazing place back in the day. It's sad to see something so beautiful, and it sounds like it was an extremely busy place in its time, in such ruins.

[@krugg2798]

Seeing these abandoned malls is like shipwrecks on the ground instead of underwater

Thank you for the amazing video. Besides the pictures your information was so informative. Love your videos. Keep up the amazing work and stay cool.

[@abandonedcentral]

Thank you so much!

[@pappabunny]

My parents and I used to go here from the 60's thru the 70's. Barbershop outside Sears. I worked for a brief while in the video arcade near the middle of the mall. Sears and JC Penney used to be the anchor stores. Dead malls brought to you by Amazon and Walmart.

[@abandonedcentral]

Even though dead malls are fun to explore it sucks to see so many closing like this. When I was a kid, I looked forward to going to the mall all the time. It was a great hang out spot.

[@rebeccagrisby104]

Man I miss Richmond!!! Also in the food court the smaller circle inside the bigger circle had a marry go round in it in the last years

[@tristanwoodmansee477]

Kiosks are those little rolling stands. So eerie how its gotten so run down.

[@ReaIHuman]

I'll never get sick of watching these kinds of videos.

[@abandonedcentral]

Thank you for watching our videos!

[@VladisRed]

Looks great. Pretty nice atmosphere there)))

[@OutlawNix]

If I recall correctly that mall opened in 1966. It's sad to see mall's empty not being used for something and just watch them fall apart behind repair. The closest mall to me would be the Lima Mall in Ohio which opened in 1965. It's been a really long time since I been to that mall used to get my D&D books from a book store there. There is a KZbin video that showed how that mall looked back in Jan of this year 2024. It's shocking how that mall is still has stores like it does after how people tends to do their shopping now.

[@SuperBuickregal]

Thanks for a entertaining and informative video!

[@autumncaraway3383]

They had a whole merry-go-round in the middle of the food court. I used to love this mall

[@youtuber3328]

i LOVE LOVE you tube ALMOST as much as malls

[@mareile4216]

cute security 🦆- interesting place! thanks for sharing with us 🤘

[@abandonedcentral]

Best security we ever ran into 😆 Thanks for the continued support!

[@musicandtheatregirl]

“Go talk to your boy, man! He needs to chill.” 💀💀 This entire beginning has me dying. 🤣🤣🤣💀

[@abandonedcentral]

Security was no joke here! 😂

[@revolutionofthekind]

Oh this hurts. It was still open. Not even that long ago, but when i was in middle and high school in the mid 2000s this was the place to be.. im so sad seeing it like this

[@abandonedcentral]

Hope you have some good memories from here. Thanks for watching our video.

[@revolutionofthekind]

@@abandonedcentral it was a mix, but i try to think about the good times more. I just hope what they put there doesnt eventually price people like my family, who live nearby, out. Thanks for making the video and bringing attention to it!

[@icecp03]

Thanks for making this I used to work @ the gamestop there

[@OmegaZeero]

Used to go here back in the 90s and 2000s. Was sad to see it go

[@Ranthra1]

I used to go there with my wife. Bought tires at the Sears. And yes, Charlie's made an excellent cheese steak sandwich. Sad to see the mall like this.

[@abandonedcentral]

Thanks for watching our video. Hopefully it brought back some good memories.

[@youtuber3328]

i LOVE LOVE you tube ALMOST as much as sears

[@kalihoward]

I remember when they reopened this mall during the late '90s. It was a thriving mall with lots of attractions. Around 2014 the store started closing... Than about 5 years later it was turned into a storage facility. I believe the store in the first part of the video is JCPenney.

[@rdavid488]

Reopened? I don't remember them ever closing until just recently.

[@A51498]

@@rdavid488 I think they meant renovated. It went through a massive renovation in 1997/1998.

[@emmalythatsme]

There used to be a carousel in the middle of the round food court. My grandparents would take me here often while my mom was working. We would get asian chow and walk around the mall.

[@LeeAkrish]

man Osaka after the movies used to be so good, going to miss that

[@NellyGalactic]

Have gone here sooooo many times growing up. About 15 minutes away from me.

[@abandonedcentral]

Thanks for watching! Hopefully it brought back some memories!

[@GaymerGirl1986x]

The happy hour specials there was a Bar and Grill In their that had jazz and blues bands on the weekends

[@user-Power]

I was never in America but with your channel i have the great opportunity to become aquainted💫💥👍

[@abandonedcentral]

Glad you enjoy our videos. What country are you from?

[@rdavid488]

There was no K-Mart at Richmond Mall. I don't know where that shopping cart came from!

[@AngelaSalatino1]

It looks like demolition began this month. It's too bad the mall couldn't be renovated for its new purpose. Thank you for bringing this to us.

[@abandonedcentral]

Yup, its pretty much done now. Saw some drone videos this week and there's not much left of it. Thanks for watching!

[@darkangel5180]

I grew up going to Richmond mall, sad to see it go but it had been in decline for some time

[@justmombeauty]

Forget a watch dog. They got watch geese. . 😂

[@abandonedcentral]

😂😂 I take these friendly security guards any day.

[@JandD4Lif3]

Great video Check out the old Century 3 mall in west Mifflin PA has 3 different floors one of the biggest abandoned malls around!

[@abandonedcentral]

A few other explorers just got put on the news then arrested for exploring there. I'm going to stay away from that one lol. Thanks for watching!

[@JandD4Lif3]

@@abandonedcentral Crazy I'm sure now if you didn't get to it when it first closed but there are still videos up people doing it sometime after it closed. Hope to see more abandoned vids from yall in future!

[@inspiritualjourney]

Sad all these malls closing

[@SgtRocko]

Drove past it yesterday. Majority is gone now. Hadn't been inside it for years because there really wasn't anything inside it (think the last thing I went in for was to get a watch battery replaced at one of those kiosks LOL). They've got cool plans for the site, at least - and best of all a Meijer Supercentre should open in 2025.

[@bethanncline]

I wanna start by saying I love yalls videos. Just curious I have seen yall have done some videos in IL but I have not really seen any videos in Southern IL. There are alot of abandoned locations down here. In marion, IL have the marion mall and there is also an abandoned town Cairo (pronounced Kay-row) it's very eerie to go there.

[@abandonedcentral]

Thanks for the support Beth! We explored Cario a few years ago but never filmed any videos there. We've talked about shooting a small documentary on the town recently since there's alot abandoned there now.

[@adriangeorge-tn5eg]

Nice mall. Ours is like half of that mall

[@midkansasrailfan8995]

Those cameras are definitely on. The fire alarms were active, and the exit signs were on

[@abandonedcentral]

🙊🙈

[@norajazzypoppy9043]

Love this video 👍😊

[@abandonedcentral]

So glad! Thanks for the support!

[@SarcasticMary]

It's all so crazy to me to see so many abandoned Malls. I loved going shopping lol

[@abandonedcentral]

You and me both! Surprised it took this long for most of them to start shutting down with online shopping.

[@SarcasticMary]

I HATE online shopping lol. I like to be able to see if things will fit first. @@abandonedcentral

[@NellyGalactic]

12:45, They’re still around!!! The business itself is actually growing! Called “Irie Jamaican Kitchen”

[@abandonedcentral]

Thats great to hear! Thanks for watching our video.

[@Elliottblancher]

Looks like someone was using that Glass case for Shooting practice

[@winterpurple4587]

Reminds me of the 'mall' episode in the Last of Us. Imagine being chased down by zombies that mall at night.

[@blakedmc1989HD]

what a shame, it looked in much better shape than Greenspoint Mall in Houston and yet dat mall is barely hangin on while diz mall is currently being demolished

[@dcobbjr1106]

That Regal used to be owned by Loews Theatres.

[@Zeroday01]

Never had a Higbees or Kmart at Richmond Mall.

[@jamesrush4617]

Sad the malls were a thing back in the day.

[@GaymerGirl1986x]

I don't remember a Kmart being there. But so many good times till the ghettos ruined it

[@kenlahmers9648]

It's gone now. A Meijer store is supposed to open in spring 2025. Apartments are supposed to go for $2000 to $2500 a month. Nobody I know would or could pay that kind of rent !!! Richmond Heights isn't the nicest environment to live in !!!

[@AkumosBDF]

Interesting how places get so bad in just a few years.. closes early 2021, by late 2023 it's a dump.

[@jamesramirez5276]

Convert these shops into Apartments. Btw, theatres 15-20 is SIX theaters not Five.

[@lauradarnall227]

All those abandoned place in a mall that could be rehabilitated into something like a homeless place...to get the people off the streets

[@treywilson9427]

Most of that is gone now went by today

[@abandonedcentral]

Yea they started to demo it back when we released this video. Thanks for watching Trey!

[@treywilson9427]

Bro this is so sad my childhood in a lump of gravel now

[@nancyjones6932]

Looks like the mall is being remodeled or something seems like planet fitness is coming in the mall and replacing movie theatre it looks like it could be reopened in a day hopefully they don’t tear it down

[@abandonedcentral]

The malls been completely demolished. Thanks for watching Nancy.

[@andrewpuz7342]

ALL DEMOLISHED NOW. ITS GONE
