Richmond Mall in the 80s was tiny, dark, and dated. We lived closer to Richmond Mall but always went to Euclid Square Mall. Richmond Mall had Sears and JC Penney, but most of the other stores were pretty lame. But then Richmond Mall expanded and became Richmond Town Center and the rest is history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-854513819092313892014-10-10T18:34:11.842-04:002014-10-10T18:34:11.842-04:00And Walgreen's.And Walgreen's.Hannah Schaitelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023202278722822244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-23709987208469188492014-10-10T18:32:08.244-04:002014-10-10T18:32:08.244-04:00Should become Burger King, Target, Jcpenney, Sara...Should become Burger King, Target, Jcpenney, Sara's Pet Store and Doctor, and a new Exxon gas center.Hannah Schaitelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023202278722822244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-71529829199086569222014-09-15T21:20:25.302-04:002014-09-15T21:20:25.302-04:00It would be nice to have a Walmart in the area,It would be nice to have a Walmart in the area,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-14326386899355696112014-08-21T19:24:25.815-04:002014-08-21T19:24:25.815-04:00No one will ever invest significant money in Eucli...No one will ever invest significant money in Euclid again. It's too far gone. I too was at the Mall on Opening Day and I also worked there briefly at Thom McAn's. I ate at the Arby's, and even before it was an Arby's when it was Cleveland's local roast beef chain Beef Corral, which Arby's bought out. It was beautiful and would have made it had the demographic of the city not totally changed. Euclid was idyllic place to live and grow up and it's decline is a total catastophe... it will look like East Cleveland and Collinwood and the rest of the inner City soon. Very sad.

There were great stores, late 80's early 90s. There was a pet store near Kauffmans, Spencer at one end, Claires at the other. Foot Locker, Merry Go Round, etc. I think it was built on an old factory site or something, and they are unable to take it down due to EPA restrictions. <br />Thanks for the memories!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-50371349264418669972014-02-02T11:00:30.926-05:002014-02-02T11:00:30.926-05:00I remember going there as a kid in the early 90s. ...I remember going there as a kid in the early 90s. It was still a really nice place to go! K-B toys, the cookie shop, foot locker, sam goody, etc. I even worked there as a teenager when the mall was bad at peddler's exchange around 2004. I miss it though and wish I could go back in time to 1994 and look around and really take in the times and how Euclid used to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-12067731308075079032014-01-16T11:13:11.047-05:002014-01-16T11:13:11.047-05:00midway not far behind!midway not far behind!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-52745152374317444872013-11-08T20:03:41.533-05:002013-11-08T20:03:41.533-05:00They recently closed the Dillards Outlet store in ...They recently closed the Dillards Outlet store in September due to the lease ended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-57992687147188849052013-11-06T05:40:43.471-05:002013-11-06T05:40:43.471-05:00I was there in spring 1977 when it opened.

I walked past TV5 news anchor Ted Henry at the mall the first time I visited. He eating an ice cream cone and taking a look at the new mall. The mall peaked in the 80s. The atmosphere changed in the early 90s. Groups of young people would hang around together and goof off at the stores and annoy the customers. The shoplifting became rampant with people literally rolling clothes racks out of the store. It was too much for security or the police to stop. When the ethical fabric of the local society falls apart, there isn't much of anything that can be done to stop the demise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-25261314020690528312013-09-08T09:17:38.065-04:002013-09-08T09:17:38.065-04:00Tear it down and turn it into green space!Tear it down and turn it into green space!Ms. Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05873031934601159129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1638967203750102584.post-55239284073055600372013-07-07T13:54:42.700-04:002013-07-07T13:54:42.700-04:00That wasn't the Fazios pharmacy; it was the Ho...That wasn't the Fazios pharmacy; it was the Hometown Buffet.

That mall closed in the early 2000's and was reborn as a church with a Burlington remaining. Burlington has held on for years there, but closed off the mall entrance also.
