Steve Ronin's video: ABANDONED Childhood Mall With Retro Movie Theatre LARGEST MALL IN OHIO Richmond Town Square

Richmond Town Square opened in 1966 with Sears and JCPenney as its original anchors, a Loews Theater, and Woolworths. After several changes, including the addition of the Richmond Town Square Branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library, Kaufmann's replacing Woolworths, and the renovation of the mall in 1998, DeBartolo Realty Corp merged with Simon Property Group, which expanded and renamed the mall. In 2006, Kaufmann's was rebranded to Macy's, and Barnes & Noble closed in 2010. WP Glimcher purchased the mall in 2014, but the mall was sold to the Kohan Retail Investment Group in 2016. Both Sears and JCPenney announced they would close in 2017, and in August 2020, the Kohan Retail Investment Group announced that the mall would close permanently to allow for redevelopment to take place. DealPoint Merrill later announced plans to bring luxury apartments, a hotel, and a park to the mall's north end, where the vacant Sears building and parking lot are located, in a $69 million investment named Belle Oaks at Richmond. The mall was planned to be demolished in the fall of 2020 but remained open throughout the rest of 2020 and until May 6, 2021, when it finally closed for good. The remaining portions of the mall were sold to DealPoint Merrill in July 2021, and an event was held in the parking lot of the former Sears in June 2021 to show locals the plans of Belle Oaks.
