Ohio Valley Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Richland Township, Ohio. It was built in 1978 and is anchored by Boscov's, Pat Catan's, Elder-Beerman, Kmart, Macy's and Sears.

History

The mall's original anchors were Montgomery Ward, Kaufmann's, J. C. Penney, Sears and L.S. Good. Montgomery Ward closed and became Kmart in 1983.[2] The L.S.Good space later became Stone & Thomas, then Burlington Coat Factory, then Steve & Barry's,[3] which closed in 2008.[4] Stone & Thomas moved to a larger location within the mall, and later the company was sold to Elder-Beerman in the mid-1990s. Kaufmann's became Macy's in 2006. J.C. Penney moved to Triadelphia, West Virginia in 2007.[5] It was replaced by Levin Furniture, while Crafts 2000 replaced the Steve & Barry's.[2] Old Navy and Waldenbooks were among the stores that left the mall in 2009 and 2010.[6] In 2012, Cafaro announced plans to renovate the mall's interior and add a new anchor store.[2]

Levin Furniture closed in 2012.[7] In early 2013, it was confirmed that the space would be converted to Boscov's.[8] It is the first and currently only Boscov's in Ohio.[9] Also in 2013, MC Sports opened in the former Old Navy.[10]
