The mall also featured G. C. Murphy, a Thorofare Grocery Store, and Giant Eagle as junior anchors.
In 2001, JCPenney announced a remodel of their store to introduce houseware and custom decorating departments to the location.
[5] JCPenney closed in February 2007[6] and relocated to the defunct Foundry shopping center less than a mile away in March 2007; however, due to ground settling problems at the aforementioned retail complex and financial difficulties with the property owner, JCPenney moved back to the Washington Mall in mid-September 2008.
Sometime in February 2024, Staples closed due to the owners not willing to bring the building up to code.
Only two stores, Grand China Buffet and Harbor Freight Tools, both of which have exterior access, remain open.
While the future of this mall is unclear, it’s likely that the end is near, and the building, as well as the vacated JCPenney and Toys R Us, will be leveled once Grand China Buffet and Harbor Freight Tools leave the space.
