Dead Mall: Richmond Mall - Richmond, KY

Dead Mall: Richmond Mall - Richmond, KY. Enjoy a look at this little mall that survives solely by Mom & Pop stores. Bargain Hunt is the only big chain store at the mall with an outside access only. Inside the mall, several little unique stores and a church keep this once booming mall afloat. Richmond Mall opened in 1988 and faced several sales over the years. It's peak was the late 90s and early 2000s. When the mall was nearly completely full of tenants, a new shopping center was opened nearby in 2008 called Richmond Centre. With its opening, many tenants left this mall for the new shopping center including all 3 anchors. Within 2 years the occupancy dropped to 50%. Today, it's down to 30% but still hangs on and is in relatively great shape given the circumstances. If you enjoy my content and wish to help make my channel grow, become a Patron!
