The History of Landover Mall - The Struggle of Competition, Crime, and Traffic Jams

Landover Mall opened in Landover, Maryland on May 11, 1972. Busy for a while, the only indoor mall in the area at the time, faced competition from newer malls such as the White Flint Mall. Through the years, the area became known to many for its crime as well as traffic from FedEx Field across from the mall. The mall lacked upgrades and lost a lot of tenants and customers and closed on May 19, 2002. By 2007, the mall was demolished with the only remnant, Sears.
