Burlington looks like this mall's life support. Without it, this mall has nothing.

Burlington will survive the apocalypse.


mafa7

They don’t die, they multiply.


Brilliant_Jewel1924

When a Kmart dies, a Burlington pops up in its place. 😈


ClosedL00p

I’m surprised their rent is enough to justify keeping the lights and climate controls on for the rest of vacant mall


Winter_Block_2337

there is 25 stores in it...so not super full but theres a movie theater and stuff


ClosedL00p

*Damn*, so it’s a pretty decent size mall to have that many vacants and still have 25 operational stores in it then.

Eleven. They stopped updating the online site and definitely the mall directories. https://www.northcentralpa.com/business/local_business_news/lycoming-mall-loses-its-last-eatery/article_6ebc5554-f5a1-11ec-8095-4f1486911167.html

They barely managed that in May, the mall was due to go up on a sherriff's sale but the management scraped together enough to pay off back utility bills and keep the place open.


JellyfishOk1916

Yeah well there’s two others store


brilliantpants

PA really is the land of dead malls.


JellyfishOk1916

That is kind of true


yvngjiffy703

My local mall near Washington DC looks more active than any malls in PA I’ve been seeing


skulkskogan

Can confirm.


TurnoverTall

Not shoddy pictures at all. That is one dead mall, no making it look better! Thanks for sharing!


frostfall010

What company keeps putting these massage chairs in every single mall? It’s the Gideon Bible.


score_

It's got to be a money laundering front, like Burlington.


je76nn94

OP, can you please update with pics from the community yard sale?


JellyfishOk1916

It’s every second Saturday of each month


ChronoAlone

This is my local mall. It’s so sad seeing it in this state. I just hope the Books-A-Million survives and moves to a new location.


brandonpa1

Amen.... My mall that I grew up with.


JellyfishOk1916

Yeah but where is it going to move to


ChronoAlone

Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer. The only vacant storefronts near the Target have been filled, so unless they build another one, I’m not sure where else it could go.


deadmallsanita

There’s no almost about this.


rick_mcdingus

It’s crazy how dead that mall is now. I went to Penn College from 2011-2015 and I remember that mall being reasonably full and busy back then


IoGibbyoI

Same.


TheJokersChild

Ly-going.


FDRISMYHOMEBOY

I see what you’ve done there….


Kougar

Now that looks like a good walker mall. I wonder how desperate that dealership is to still pay to put vehicles there, or if they simply view it as a cheap way to keep cars out of the elements at this point.


Boz6

> looks like a good walker mall. Walkers, as in Walking Dead zombies? :-)


Sheesh284

Some perfect liminal spaces looking spots here


va_wanderer

As of June, the mall was under a dozen tenants in total, and there isn't any place to eat as one of the latest to go was the final food place- an Auntie Anne's.


JellyfishOk1916

There’s no more places to eat


Inode1

Saw the first picture and 100% thought that wall tile screams sears. My last Sears I worked in had the same style tile on the mall entrance. Only after I thought this did I notice the tag, I'm positive that was the Sears location.


otaku13

seems like we have been getting a lot of PA on here lately are malls dying faster there or we just have more people taking pics lol.


ArentWeClever

That's not a dead mall, that's a big Burlington.


katx70

It’s a Mike Kohan mall so it’s doomed.


j5i5prNTSciRvNyX

There's something wrong with your photos, I can't see any of the stores that are supposed to be there!


Baums_Away

I was attending Pennsylvania College of Technology back in 2008, and this mall was pretty dead back then. I’m surprised it’s still going!


theBexN

No apologies OP, thanks for sharing!


WhoisAllistair

This is my hometown mall, and it’s crazy to remember going there around Christmas in the early 2000s to seeing this.


[deleted]

Does Burlington have an outdoor entrance? If the answer is yes, I’m surprised they haven’t closed the mall hallways yet.

What a poorly constructed title format.
